This intake has it all! After high demand, finally, the all new intake system for the supercharged Audi SQ5 and Q5 chassis from IE has landed! Force feed a direct flow of ram air to your engine delivering instant horsepower, torque, snappy throttle response, and an aggressive supercharger sound. Typical peak gains from our CAI are roughly 15-25+ horsepower and torque on tuned vehicles.
Upgrading your ECU tune, pulleys, and other power adders requires airflow beyond that of the factory intake box. IE's intake feeds an impressive flow of air from the front of the vehicle directly to your supercharger. More cold air flow means more power, especially during the hot summer months. Ditch your stock restrictive airbox for the IE intake System. -Oh, and it sounds AWESOME too!
This Intake fits Audi 8R SQ5 & Q5 3.0T V6 Supercharged engines without any modification or installation hassles. The install process is simple and can be done quickly with basic tools. The fact that IE intake utilizes the factory airbox mounts ensures a perfect and hassle-free fit. Additionally, the stock mounts allow for engine movement which keeps intake components from getting damaged.
IE uses a multi-piece heat shield which performs and looks great. It effectively channels cold air from the front of the car to the massive performance filter. Furthermore, it eliminates the induction of hot air found in other locations of the engine bay further protecting against power robbing heat off the exhaust and supercharger.
Fitment:
OPTIONAL CARBON FIBER
Much like the B8/B8.5 3.0T intake, we have carried the popular feature of an optional CF lid. This carbon lid has been specially designed to not only fit the IE CAI, but to also conform to the factory engine bay for a 100% perfect fit and finish for that stylized and classy finish. This can be purchased with an intake, or upgraded at a later date.
