Why are the Factory Intake & Turbo Inlet Insufficient:
An upgraded intake system is critical when looking to optimize the performance of your twin-turbocharged Audi B9/B9.5 RS4 or RS5. The factory intake system consists of a restrictive paper filter housed in a small, enclosed airbox that requires frequent replacement. This airbox is then connected with a corrugated plastic hose to the insufficiently sized turbo inlet, causing turbulence and further restriction as air travels through the factory intake system.
The factory turbo inlet has a peak internal diameter of 66mm at the opening, which is quickly split in half and divided between the two turbochargers evenly. Because of this design, the cross-sectional area for airflow through the factory turbo inlet is reduced, resulting in inadequate airflow and lower velocity as air enters the turbochargers. This design was likely engineered this way for cost-savings to keep manufacturing costs lower.
What Does All This Restriction Mean for Performance?
When your turbochargers generate boost under acceleration, they need ample airflow to meet the target boost level commanded by the ECU—regardless of the intake or turbochargers installed. If a restrictive intake, such as the factory system, is installed, it can cause airflow deficiencies that force the ECU must compensate to maintain the target turbocharger boost levels. This is typically achieved by increasing the Wastegate Duty Cycle (WGDC), which puts additional demand on the turbochargers to reach those target boost levels. Much like sucking air in through a straw, you will find it easier to suck in more air through a larger straw as opposed to a smaller, more restrictive straw. Similarly, the turbochargers must work extra hard to make up for this lack of airflow.
As the turbochargers work harder, they generate higher compressor and exhaust turbine temperatures, resulting in hotter turbochargers and intake temperatures.
These inefficiencies and restrictions that the turbochargers must overcome and compensate for due to an insufficient intake system can reduce your engine's power output and generate increased heat, whether your RS4 or RS5 is stock, tuned, or utilizes upgraded hybrid turbochargers.
X34 Carbon Fiber Airbox:
034Motorsport focuses on optimizing every aspect of the intake system across a broad range of variables and compromises. A critical component of a high-flowing performance intake is the ability for air to flow around and into the filter. If the air cannot flow freely around the filter, it will be restricted from getting into it. Many aftermarket kits fit too large of a filter in an enclosure that cannot accommodate its size, thus choking the filter and reducing its overall flow. This often happens when a product is engineered for one variable at the expense of others.
034Motorsport engineers conducted extensive tests and refined the development of the X34 Intake Airbox design to enable maximum airflow around the air filter, ensuring optimal airflow to and through the filter. The final result is the X34 Carbon Fiber Intake Airbox, which offers optimal fitment within the RS4 & RS5 engine bay, allowing for maximum airflow and performance while perfectly balancing styling; the ultimate goal of any intake system.
The X34 Carbon Fiber Intake utilizes an optional Carbon Fiber Air Duct to redirect cool air from the OE integrated air inlet guide efficiently into the Carbon Fiber Airbox, while maintaining the necessary clearance to allow for the massive SüperDüper Turbo Inlet. This Air Duct is available with the "Full Intake System" & "X34 SüperDüper Insuction Bundle"
