034Motorsport is pleased to present our X34 Carbon Fiber Open-Top Intake Bundle for the 2.5 TFSI EVO engine found in the 8S Audi TTRS and 8V.5 Audi RS3!

034Motorsport’s engineers underwent an extensive effort to develop a complete cold air intake solution for the TTRS and RS3 that yields airflow and pressure drop gains over the well-designed factory airbox, which can lead to higher horsepower and torque gains in applications that require higher airflow, like upgraded turbos. During the development process, many iterations were designed, prototyped, and tested, which resulted in this beautifully-manufactured Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System that flows better than no intake at all.

NOTE: For 2019+ models, you must also purchase the adapter kit

MAXIMIZING AIRFLOW

034Motorsport engineers first created a CFD-optimized carbon fiber intake tube, a direct, high-performance replacement for the plastic factory accordion hose. Using CAD software and 3D scanning technology, 034Motorsport optimized the cross-sectional area of the intake tube while being mindful of space constraints. The resulting part is a functional work of art - maximizing performance given the factory space constraints and featuring smooth transitions that ensure optimal airflow to the turbo inlet.

MINIMIZING UNNECESSARY FILTER SHROUDING

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 conducted extensive tests and refined its development of the intake design to allow maximum airflow surrounding the air filter, allowing for optimal airflow too, and through the filter. The final result is the right size filter in the right size filter housing, creating maximum airflow and performance with OEM level filtering, the ultimate goal of any intake system. Be cautious of any intake that brags only of the air filter size without considering the detrimental effects of shrouding the filter.

4" DIAMETER FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

034Motorsport engineers identified a serious bottleneck in the factory intake system. The factory, 2.8” turbo inlet size, which necks down even smaller throughout the unit, is by far the largest restriction in the intake system after a performance filter system is installed. Many aftermarket companies, including 034Motorsport, have solved this issue by increasing the turbo inlet diameter, thus warranting an intake that supports the added flow gain. The 4” diameter intake kit is designed to support upgraded 4” turbo inlets that can be used on the factory, hybrid, and full-frame turbochargers. It has been validated that this intake works with the majority of aftermarket inlet options but has been optimized to work with the upcoming 034Motorsport 4” turbo inlet

MINIMIZING INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE

To ensure that the 034Motorsport X34 Open-Top Cold Air Intake System draws in cool, dense air, the system includes an open-top upper airbox to replace the upper airbox and a stainless steel heat shield to block heat from saturating the intake tube. This kit uses our intake duct and lower box, allowing the high-flow conical filter to breathe cold air from before the radiator. The stainless steel heat shield bolts to the stock intake tube mounting point and the back of the head, preventing the high temperatures from the exhaust header and turbo from radiating directly at the intake tube. Both heat shields work together to minimize pre-turbo intake air temperature.

EARLY NON-US 8V.5 FITMENT NOTE

• Please note that very early non-US 8V.5 Audi RS3's come with a heat shield that is not compatible with the 034Motorsport Auxiliary Heat Shield supplied with this intake kit.
• The newer style OE heat shield can be purchased from an Audi dealer for under USD 100. The OE part number is 07K 129 597 G. Once installed, and the 034Motorsport Auxiliary Heat Shield can also be installed.
• The older style OE heat shield that is not compatible is shown in the photo below.
