EXPLORE WITH CONFIDENCE
Upgrading your IE 5" velocity stack intake with our harsh climate filter kit will further keep your engine safe when traveling on dirt roads, sandy beaches, or anywhere with dusty contaminants in the air.
KIT DETAILS
This complete filter kit uses a 3 step approach to combat harsh climates. The filter has been increased from a 6 pleat construction to 8 pleats to increase cotton density. The cotton pleats are then treated with a penetrating filter oil to further catch and trap particulates. As a final measure, a pre-filter sock adds a final layer of protection over the filter. Together, these 3 barriers offer superior filtration for your intake system over our standard performance air filter.
KIT CONTENTS:
- 1X IE oiled 8 pleat density performance 5" filter
- 1X IE pre-filter intake sock
- 1X Air filter worm clamp
RECHARGING
As the air filter does its job of effectively catching more particulates, eventually it will have to be cleaned and maintained. We recommend washing your cotton filter in water with a little Dawn dish soap, rinsing thoroughly, and allowing it to completely air dry. To replace the oil, any off-the-shelf filter oil kit from your local auto parts supply chain can be used. Do not over-oil the filter, a little goes a long way.
COMPATIBLE INTAKES
Our 5" Harsh Climate Oiled Air Filter & Sock Upgrade Kit is a direct replacement filter for all popular IE air intake kits with a 5" velocity stack.

A special rotomold process is used to manufacture our premium polymer 3.0T intake airbox. This method leverages complex shapes and angles to maximize internal volume for air supply and smooth flow for a true performance design. This molding style also produces consistent wall thickness, strong corners, and superior heat resistance for a cost-friendly intake without compromises.
The entire intake is designed as a single-piece airbox to offer a seamless and complete look with an above factory quality fit and finish.
Our motorsport-designed velocity stack creates a smooth transition from the large filter area to the turbo inlet with excellent laminar properties. This uniquely engineered detail produces a high inertia flow with reduced drag and power-robbing turbulence.
Adding the optional cast turbo inlet upgrade further reduces significant air restrictions while maintaining the largest size possible from the airbox to the turbocharger. The intake and turbo inlet further increases airflow from 37% (intake only) up to a combined 61% over stock!
Turbo inlet pipe is an optional upgrade and can be purchased with your intake or added at a later date.
The intake and turbo inlet designs offer a straightforward and bolt-in job of available hybrid turbo upgrades. Our turbo-specific CNC-machined and o ring sealed adapters always maintain the largest size possible without introducing flow restrictions. Upgrading to a TTE or Pure Turbo hybrid is easy, simple, and hassle-free.
Hybrid turbo adapter rings are sold separately from the turbo inlet upgrade.
IE 3.0T INTAKE SYSTEM & TURBO INLET PIPE INSTALLED WITH TTE810 TURBO ON WORLD-RECORD 9-SECOND B9 S4
IE’s multi-zone intake design delivers all the performance benefits of an open-filter intake while maintaining protection from hot engine bay air from under the hood. A constant ram air supply is forced in from the grille inlet, while any additional air demands are supplied from the low-pressure zone through the filter plate louvers. This dual-zone approach ensures airflow demands for any power level, even the most extreme builds.
The byproduct of a true performance-designed intake is more than power. Our uniquely engineered velocity stack, pressure zones, and extensive internal volume also work together to release a myriad of turbo spools, engine throttle, and diverter blow-off sounds that transform your S4 or S5 with the under-hood acoustics of a genuine sports car.
3D scanning tools are leveraged to create a high-resolution digital environment. This technology allows IE engineers to use all available space for a complete performance design while ensuring a hassle-free fit and installation.
Our cost-effective intake without compromising quality or performance.
Install your new air intake using basic hand tools in no time. Our thermoplastic intake utilizes factory-style mounts that ensure a perfect and hassle-free fit.
Install time: 20 – 45 minutes

MQB PERFORMANCE DOWNPIPE OVERVIEW
When upgrading your VW MK7 or Audi 8V A3 to stage 2 software you will also need to reduce the back pressure caused by the small diameter stock pipe. With the exhaust system flowing better performance gains be achieved. Turbo lag should also be reduced as an added benefit.
IE engineers guarantee a perfect fit by designing all IE downpipes in-house using the latest technology. Digital scanning is using to scan the entire environment which ensures that there is proper clearance and that all mounting points are in the correct location. Manufactured from 304 stainless offers a life-long product that brings performance and fun to the table for years to come.
POWER GAINS
The most power gains will be achieved when the IE Downpipe is paired with IE matching software, air intake, and FDS intercooler.
SOUND TUNING
An aggressive and drone-free sound will be emitted from the IE Cast Downpipe. This should be music to your ears! Thick wall tubing and cast sections remove much of “tinny” sound emitted by cheaper, thin wall, downpipes. With downpipes, you get what you pay for in terms of sounds and overall manufacturing quality.
HIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER
IE’s performance downpipe includes a high-flow 200 cell per inch metal matrix catalyst located as close to the turbo as possible. Metal matrix catalysts are higher performance because the matrix web is thinner, allowing higher flow in the same size. Our catalyst is also a very large diameter, allowing a large flow area and maximum power. By being placed close to the turbo, emissions and unwanted unpleasant smells are greatly reduced.
DIRECT BOLT-ON WITH PERFECT FITMENT
The IE downpipe replaces over 6 feet of restrictive factory exhaust tubing, all the way back to the OE “Cat-Back” rear section. Sturdy fabricated mounts and precise engineering result in a rattle free and long last replacement exhaust system. 3D scanning systems were employed to ensure perfect placement both in pre and post-production phases.

IE POWERlink DIRECT PORT FLASH TOOL
IE's POWERlink direct port flash tool is required to flash your ECU (engine control unit) or TCU (transmission control unit) and is available separately. The POWERlink tool is sold with all new IE ECU tunes and can also be used to flash your new DSG tune. If you already own an IE POWERlink unit, purchasing this file will add the credits to your cable within one working day. If you do not own a POWERlink cable, please chose to add one in the drop-down menu above.
POWERlink FEATURES:

IE DSG TUNE TECHNICAL FEATURES
HIGHER SHIFT POINTS
Utilize the whole powerband of your turbocharged Gen 3 TSI with IS20 Turbo engine without the DSG interfering and shifting early.
DRIVE MAPPING REWORKED
The MQB 2.0 TSI DSG is designed to a fault to keep engine rpm extremely low in drive. We completely reworked this, creating a more enthusiast-friendly drive mapping which shifts a bit higher. This eliminates vibration and that constant feeling that you’re lugging the engine. We’ve reworked the downshifting aspect as well, making the transmission much quicker to deliver power when you need it. Thousands of miles of testing were accumulated and a variety of users were polled to come up with this improved drive mode.
INCREASED CLUTCH PRESSURE
Increasing the clutch pressure allows for the transmission to hold more torque without causing clutch damage or expedited wear. With the increased torque, the acceleration will be greatly increased and launches will far more aggressive.
FLASHED THROUGH OBD-II PORT
There’s no need to remove the TCU from the car and it can be flashed in your driveway or through an IE software dealer. Additionally, having an IE PowerLink cables means you can install updates are they become available as well as read TCU and ECU fault codes.
TAKE-OFF LAG REDUCED
The clutch engagement has been reworked to reduce that annoying “DSG Lag” when moving away from a stop.
KICK DOWN REMOVED IN MANUAL MODE
The kick down switch is disabled in manual shift mode, ensuring you stay in the gear you’ve selected, even during hard launches or over bumpy terrain
FLAWLESS OPERATION WITH IE ECU TUNES
The IE DSG Tune and ECU Tune were developed side by side on our in-house dynamometer. By running both tunes you will unlock the full potential of your 2.0 TSI Gen 3 engine and transmission.
