I just picked up my Audi RS3 FL Sedan with OPF from HPerformance. I got the 4-inch exhaust system and a Stage 3 upgrade. I’m just super happy with how it drives and, above all, how brutal it sounds despite the OPF. Everything worked great—I can really recommend it to anyone who loves their five-cylinder engine!!
Product description:
Drawing on its many years of experience in developing top-tier performance software, Unitronic has developed an intake system that maximizes the performance of the MK8 GTI with the 2.0 TSI EVO4 engine.
The result is a complete cold-air intake system that guarantees maximum performance and delivers increased power, higher air velocity, and improved throttle response, while simultaneously reducing intake air temperatures and turbo lag. Unitronic’s carbon air duct also contributes to the performance boost and improved airflow by utilizing both air intakes in the OEM grille.
In addition, Unitronic's cold-air intake system enhances the sound of your turbocharger and bypass valve.
Features / Benefits:
Optimized design for maximum performance: Unitronic has specifically designed its intake system to deliver more power, higher air velocity, and better responsiveness, while reducing intake temperatures and minimizing turbo lag.
High-quality silicone components: The durable, heat-resistant, and long-lasting multi-layer silicone hose will not tear or break, even after prolonged use.
Stainless steel fasteners: Rust-resistant fasteners that will outlast your vehicle.
2/2-twill prepreg carbon fiber fabric: High-quality material for a lightweight, durable, and robust air filter box.
Autoclave construction: The curing process takes place in an autoclave to eliminate resin pores and ensure a stable component. A UV- and heat-resistant clear coat is then applied to the carbon fiber to protect it from discoloration and give it a beautiful, smooth finish.
Proprietary 3-inch filter: The 3-inch dry cotton filter developed by Unitronic is designed to maximize airflow thanks to its rounded base, while keeping dust and debris away from the engine.
Oversized air intake for increased airflow: When combined with Unitronic's carbon fiber air duct, airflow capacity is increased.
Smooth airflow transition: The ferrule at the base of the air filter ensures a smooth and linear airflow transition between the elements.
Direct bolt-on installation using OEM mounting points: Utilizes all OEM mounting points through the use of Unitronics’ proprietary EPDM rubber mounting eyelets.
Enhanced Turbosound: Unitronic's cold-air intake systems feature an open-element design that makes the sound of your vehicle's turbocharger and diverter valve (DV) much more pronounced.
Dual air intakes: Use both air intakes in the OEM grille to benefit from increased airflow.
Water drainage system on the air filter box: Open slits on the underside of the air filter box allow water to drain out.
