For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The 034Motorsport X34 Carbon Fiber MQB Cold Air Intake System is a premier performance upgrade for 1.8T and 2.0T EA888 Gen 3 engines. Engineered as a comprehensive "OEM+" solution, the X34 system replaces the restrictive factory upper airbox and intake tube with a stunning, CFD-optimized one-piece carbon fiber unit. By eliminating jagged transitions and reducing turbulence in the intake tract, this system virtually eliminates pressure drop before the turbocharger inlet, resulting in significant, dyno-proven gains in both horsepower and torque.
034Motorsport’s engineers focused on a fully-enclosed design to ensure the engine draws in only cool, dense air from the factory fresh-air duct. Unlike many aftermarket kits that "choke" the air filter by fitting it into an undersized enclosure, the X34 is meticulously sized to provide maximum airflow surrounding the massive 4-inch filter inlet. The result is a perfect balance of superior filtration, improved throttle response, and a sophisticated carbon fiber aesthetic that matches factory Audi RS engine trim.
Key Features:
- Dyno-Proven Power: Gains up to 31 WHP and 27 WTQ on Stage 1 tuned vehicles (measured at 6,000 RPM).
- CFD-Optimized Design: Smooth, large-diameter one-piece intake tube reduces turbulence and pressure drop.
- True Cold Air System: Fully-enclosed carbon fiber construction prevents power-robbing engine bay heat soak.
- High-Flow Filtration: Includes a massive 4-inch inlet, double-layer pleated cotton conical air filter for maximum surface area.
- OEM+ Finish: High-quality carbon fiber weave matches factory Audi RS carbon engine components for a high-end look.
- Easy Installation: Bolts directly to the factory lower airbox and turbo inlet; compatible with both SAI and non-SAI equipped vehicles.
- Enhanced Induction Sound: Delivers a more aggressive engine and turbocharger spool sound without being intrusive.
Performance Gains (Wheel Horsepower & Torque):
| Vehicle Test Bed | Peak Gains | RPM Point |
|---|---|---|
| VW GTI (Stage 1) | +31 WHP / +27 WTQ | 6,000 RPM |
| Audi S3 (Stock) | +24 WHP / +20 WTQ | 6,400 RPM |
Secondary Air Injection (SAI) Note: This system includes an integrated SAI adapter fitting, making it a universal fit for vehicles with or without factory SAI. No additional parts are required for installation.
