ECS Tuning Luft-Technik Intake System - RS3 8Y

The increase in turbocharger spool during heavy acceleration and wastegate noises on let off is an enthusiast's dream, giving hint to the added performance without being too intrusive and making you smile from ear to ear.

The Engineering team at ECS Tuning has spent countless hours in the development of the exclusive Audi 8Y RS3 2.5T Luft-Technik (Air Technology) Cold Air Intake System. This intake was precision engineered using state of the art laser scanning, dyno testing, and 3D CAD technology to combine factory-like fitment in your engine bay with increased engine performance. The end result of all of this effort is an intake system that combines fitment, quality and performance into one stunning package that will make a statement in your engine bay while increasing flow over the factory setup by over 25%! This intake is crafted of high quality powder coated aluminum to achieve world class appearance and durability while resisting the performance robbing effects of heat soak. 4 inch carbon fiber turbo inlet pipe to achieve increased durability and massive air flow.  

The ECS Tuning Luft-Technik Intake System features:

• Flow bench results show a 27% average gain in flow rate with ECS intake versus stock airbox

• Bulb seal across the leading edge to seal against the hood to prevent heat soak

• Closed intake system specifically crafted to fit Audi 8Y RS3 / 8V RS3 engines, from the 2022 MY onwards, using all stock mounting locations

• Massive 4 inch carbon fiber inlet tube with billet bung for factory evap return

• Bulb seal provided to isolate intake air from engine bay heat

• 4-ply silicone turbo inlet to hinder collapsing

• Stepped silicone inlet and outlet matched to inside diameter for optimum flow path

• 4.5" conical hi-flow reusable air filter; featuring 8 ply cotton gauze construction and a bell mouth inlet to minimize restriction while maximizing filtration efficiency

• Stainless steel hardware & hose clamps for exceptional corrosion resistance and durability

• No modifications required, fully reversible installation

Big Bore Turbo Inlet Features: 

• Inlet Elbow is made from cast aluminum for maximum airflow capacity, durability and is designed to work in combination with ECS intakes.

• Compressor Inlet Flange is machined after casting to create a bellmouth inlet design for smooth air entry into the compressor housing. The CNC inlet flange also features OEM mounting holes, it also utilizes a sealing O-ring for perfect fit and seal for precision fitment within the compressor housing. 

• Retains OEM PCV port for a direct bolt on fit

• Cast mounting tabs retain compatibility with the OEM locating fastener and its mounting location.

• Designed to work in perfect harmony with ECS Tuning Intake Systems 

  • Will work with any intake system with a 4" outlet 

• 101mm inlet opening, a 23mm increase over the stock inlet size (78mm)!

• 17% increase in air flow over the factory 8Y RS3 turbo inlet pipe 

  • Stock 8y RS3 turbo inlet pipe - 491CFM @ 25inH2O

  • ECS Big Bore Turbo Inlet Pipe - 560CFM @ 25inH2O
