Revo 2.0 TFSI Intake – Open Cone Air Induction Kit – RT992M200701

AIR INTAKE PIPE

The Revo engineering team knew that to create the most effective intake, every component had to be considered to maximise and smooth airspeed. The system is designed around a lightweight 90mm intake pipe, mandrel-bent to maintain the internal diameter in the corners and to create a one-piece solution. This offers superior flow and avoids the air turbulence and resistance experienced on intake kits with multiple sections, usually caused at each join resulting in very turbulent airflow, ultimately restricting performance.

MAF SCALING

Ensuring correct MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor scaling is the real art when it comes to designing air intake systems, if incorrect the intake system can actually reduce power and cause major fuelling issues. The Revo kit integrates the stock MAF sensor in a specifically designed housing on the one-piece pipe to ensure correct scaling during fitment.

THREE LAYER FOAM FILTER

An intake system is only as good as the filter within it. This kit comes complete with a tried and tested Revo three-layer foam filter with an impressive 857cm² surface area, supported by galvanised, epoxy-coated mesh to ensure the filter cannot collapse. The air filter has a large 180mm external diameter body and a smooth radius aluminium bell mouth, specifically designed for optimum airflow from filter to pipe-work. Revo three-stage foam filters work very differently to conventional paper or cotton-gauze, which are surface filters designed to trap particles on the outer layer, instantly causing restriction.

Revo foam filters work by trapping dirt particles within each of the oiled foam layers, allowing air to negotiate its way through the filter, reducing restriction and offering much longer service intervals. We tested the filter at a leading motor testing centre ‘Mira’ on an industry recognised dust load test. On a full dust load test the foam filter was found to still be 99.1% efficient, filtering down to 5 micron while offering the least amount of restriction over similar products.

HEAT SHIELD

The intake system features a laser-cut aluminium heat shield that ensures the filter is well insulated from ambient under-bonnet temperatures. The shielding is designed to utilise the ducting in the factory grill to maximise airflow and prevent heat-soak.

SILICONE HOSE

The silicone hoses included in the kit are manufactured using high quality automotive grade silicone, engineered to combine the system using stepped necks to offer a smooth transition of air to avoid turbulence. The turbo inlet hose has also been specifically designed to fit both K03 and K04 turbo powered cars.
