CTS Turbo is proud to announce our new intake system for the B9 AUDI A4, AllRoad, A5, S4, S5, RS4, RS5 (2017-2019 models)

We designed our system to work in conjunction with the OEM air scoop to seamlessly force cold air into the air intake system. Air then flows through our high flow 6″ velocity stack air filter for maximum engine performance.

Our single-piece proprietary moulded silicone couplers allows for smooth entry of air into the engine providing peak power gains ranging from 10-12HP on a stock car.
All of the components included in the CTS air intake system work flawlessly together to provide increased horsepower and torque throughout the entire power band and an aggressive race-inspired sound. Turbo spool up and diverter valve release are a lot louder!

Features:

• Massive 6″ velocity stack filter, largest on the market
• 3.5″ silicone turbo inlet hoses for both 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines (5-ply construction, will not collapse)
• Heatshield to keep air temperatures as low as possible
• Easy install and perfect fitment
• Increased engine performance, less turbo lag
• Sporty sound under acceleration and loud pressure release
• Gains of 10-12HP on stock vehicles, tuned cars will gain even more!
• Kit comes with parts to install on 1.8T, 2.0T, 2.9T and 3.0T engines (fits MAF-LESS cars)

Fitment:

• B9 A4 (2017 – current)
• B9 AllRoad (2017 – current)
• B9 S4 (2018 – current)
• B9 A5 (2018 – current)
• B9 S5 (2018 – current)

CTS Turbo is proud to offer our upgraded turbo inlet hose for the MK7+ VW and 8V Audi MQB vehicles.  The factory turbo inlet hose is corrugated with internal ridges that disrupt air flow.  Not only do they reduce air flow, but the plastic can become weak over time causing leaks and reduced performance.

The CTS Turbo turbo inlet hose is constructed from 5-ply silicone that will not collapse, even under heavy load. This is MUCH stronger than other inlet hoses offered by different companies. Collapsing intake hose can cause turbo to fail!!

The CTS Turbo inlet hose allows for smooth uninterrupted flow and more air pumping through your engine!

Features:

• Designed to fit factory airbox and any turbo inlet pipe
• 5-ply silicone construction
• Smooth interior
• High strength hose clamps

Components:
1 x CTS Turbo MQB Turbo Inlet Hose
2 x Hose clamps

Fits the following vehicles:

• MK7 VW GTI
• MK7 VW Golf R
• MK7 Audi A3
• MK7 Audi S3

YOUR BUILD DESERVES THE BEST

Feed your 2.0T TSI GTI, Jetta, GLI, CC, or A3 with a supply of cold air with this direct-fit high-flow cold air intake kit. This intake features a generously-sized inlet pipe that connects to the OE mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The MAF sensor receives high-velocity air fed directly from a 5" bellmouth. Our high-flow bellmouth is neatly housed in a heat shield, which separates the air filter from the hot under-hood air, allowing only cold air to be drawn into the turbo inlet directly from the front of the car.

STOCK-LIKE DIRECT FIT

This air intake kit provides all the necessary piping and couplers to plumb the intake system from the turbo to the MAF and then to the heat shield. The heat shield installs using the OE grommets for easy maintenance and reliable mounting with no rubbing or interference with other factory parts.

HIGH-FLOW VELOCITY STACK

The air intake utilizes a high-flow bellmouth behind the air filter to deliver as much air as possible. This bellmouth design increases the air velocity to the MAF and pulls cold air equally from all directions into the filter. This bellmouth is securely fastened to the heat shield as a clean pass-through providing a solid mount for the air filter and turbo inlet pipe. You have no worry about the intake pipe moving around and causing damage unlike other intake kits on the market, which simply clamp the filter onto the end of the inlet pipe or MAF. Furthermore, the bellmouth opening allows for a filter with a very large surface area that can support any horsepower goal. The same filter and bellmouth design have been tested to support over 500HP!

THERMAL BLOCKING HEAT SHIELD

The IE heat shield is designed to create a thermal barrier blocking all of the radiant heat from the engine bay. Only cold air from the front of the vehicle is drawn into the filter from the opening in the radiator support keeping air intake temperatures as cold as possible. This allows factory placement of the intake to be used without placing the filter lower in the vehicle where it can be subjected to engine harming road debris or fluid.

DO YOU NEED AN SAI KIT?

The MK5/MK6 2.0T TSI engine has two different engine codes. CBFA engine codes are equipped from the factory with a secondary air injection (SAI) pump that connects to the factory intake box. These engines require a small breather filter for this SAI line when installing an aftermarket intake. CCTA engine codes do not have this SAI pump and will not require this filter. Identify your engine code using the photos below, and add an SAI filter kit above if needed when ordering your intake.

EASY INSTALLATION

Installation is quick and easy to install with basic tools. The process should take around an hour for most enthusiasts.
