Description
The Integrated Engineering (IE) Cold Air Intake System for the Audi B9/B9.5 SQ5 3.0T is engineered to unlock your engine’s true potential. Delivering noticeable power gains, improved airflow, and a dramatic boost in engine and turbo acoustics, this intake is the ultimate performance upgrade for daily driving, spirited weekend runs, or full-blown hybrid turbo builds.
Performance Gains That Speak for Themselves
Backed by real-world dyno testing, the IE intake system provides up to 19 horsepower and 21 lb-ft of torque over stock when paired with performance software. Experience a 24% increase in airflow compared to the factory airbox—or push it further to 50.4% more flow when combined with the optional IE cast turbo inlet.
High-Quality Rotomolded Thermoplastic Design
Constructed using a specialized rotomolding process, this premium intake is formed from durable thermoplastic that resists engine bay heat while allowing for complex internal shapes and optimal airflow. The result? A robust, single-piece airbox with superior heat insulation and performance—without the heat soak issues common to aluminum or metal alternatives.
Single-Piece Seamless Construction
Designed as a one-piece airbox, this intake system delivers a clean, factory-like appearance with seamless integration into your engine bay. No clunky couplers or mismatched parts—just smooth, OE-quality fit and finish.
Integrated Velocity Stack for Maximum Flow
A built-in motorsport-grade velocity stack transitions air from the oversized 5" air filter into the turbo inlet with minimal turbulence and drag. The result is improved laminar flow, greater throttle response, and enhanced overall turbocharger efficiency.
Ready for Big Turbo Builds
For even greater performance potential, pair this intake with the optional IE cast turbo inlet. This combo increases total airflow by over 50%, creating the largest possible pathway to feed the turbo. With CNC-machined, O-ring sealed hybrid turbo adapter rings (sold separately), this intake system is ready for hybrid upgrades like TTE or Pure Turbos—making future performance enhancements a plug-and-play affair.
Multi-Zone Airflow for Max Efficiency
IE’s dual-zone airflow design channels high-pressure air from the grille directly to the filter, while low-pressure louvers supplement air demands as needed. This ensures a consistent cold air supply, even under high-load or high-boost conditions—making it ideal for both stock and high-output builds.
Aggressive Soundtrack Included
The restrictive factory airbox is designed to suppress all turbo and engine sound. The IE system flips the script, unleashing deep throttle notes, turbo spool, and blow-off acoustics that bring your SQ5 to life with the commanding tone of a performance SUV.
Engineered for Precision Fitment
Developed using advanced 3D scanning and CAD modeling, the intake is optimized to take full advantage of available space while ensuring an easy, direct-fit install. The factory-style mounts, premium multi-ply silicone couplers, and high-grade stainless hardware guarantee long-lasting durability and a rattle-free installation.
Performance You Can Feel
This intake system has undergone extensive testing—from prototype iterations to flow bench analysis and dyno validation. The result is a highly efficient design that supports any level of modification, from mild tuning to aggressive hybrid turbo upgrades.
