AWE S-FLO Closed Carbon Intake for 2017-2026 Audi RS3 and 2018-2022 TT RS

The RS3 and TT RS share the 2.5-liter TFSI five-cylinder, and the factory intake feeds it through a 3-inch path that becomes the first restriction once the turbo is asked for more boost. AWE built its 4.5in S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite to remove that restriction, and it calls it the largest constant-diameter intake system available for the 8V/8Y RS 3 and Mk3 TT RS.

The Closed Carbon Intake System is the top of the suite. It combines the 4.5in Carbon Inlet Tube and the Shortie Carbon Intake and adds a bespoke carbon airbox that spans the full width of the grille, collecting ram air from the front of the car and feeding all of it to the S-FLO Filter. The carbon construction keeps heat soak down in hard driving, and the larger airbox volume means the 2.5T is never short of cold air at higher-than-stock boost.

AWE measured max gains of 17 hp and 7 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on a car with stage 1+ software. Expect sharper throttle response along with clear turbo spool and diverter valve sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my car need the DV Adapter Kit?
Yes if it is a 2019 or newer model. The kit is a billet 6061 aluminum adapter with two oil-resistant o-rings, two worm-drive clamps and 8.75in of high-temp silicone hose.

What if I have a 4in aftermarket turbo inlet pipe?
The intake ships with 4.5in-to-3in couplers for the factory 3in turbo inlet pipe. For a 4in aftermarket pipe, add the AWE S-FLO 4in Coupler 7260-11002.

Can I upgrade later?
Yes. The suite is modular, so the Inlet Tube and Shortie combine into the Open system, and the Closed system adds the carbon airbox.
