Description
Highlights:
- Universal Fitment: Designed to fit all four variations (LHD and RHD) of the Audi RS3 (8V and 8Y), RSQ3, and TTRS.
- Maximum Airflow: Features a huge 6″ pleated air filter and is manufactured to be the biggest RS3 induction kit on the market with the largest possible volume for maximum smooth airflow.
- Performance Gains: Provides significant power increases, including peak gains of 6 BHP and large low-end gains such as 25 BHP and 55 NM of torque at 3000 RPM (on a stock tune vehicle).
- Low Thermal Conductivity Carbon Fibre: Constructed from carbon fibre, which reduces heat soak and the transmission of heat, helping to decrease Inlet Air Temperatures (IAT’s) and increase air density.
- Enhanced Aesthetics and Finish: Made from high-quality prepreg 2×2 twill carbon fibre, formed in an autoclave with an anti-UV gloss gel coat, and optimized to match the weave of the intake manifold.
- Improved Sound and Throttle Response: Offers a greater induction noise (especially when on boost) and provides a more responsive throttle feel due to the impressive low-down power gains.
- Easy Installation & Warranty: Installation can be carried out in approximately 1 hour with full instructions, and the hardware comes backed by a Forge Motorsport lifetime warranty (filter excluded).
Forge Motorsport have a worldwide reputation of making industry leading parts for an array of performance vehicles; as such we’ve been able to work with some of most knowledgeable professionals in the tuning industry to produce the most versatile Audi RS3/RSQ3/TTRS performance intake on the market. A special thanks to Litchfield Motors, MRC Tuning and KSF Motorsport who have helped our RS3 8V/8Y intake development achieve the final product you see today.
3D scans of left-hand drive (LHD) and right-hand drive (RHD) RS3 8Y’s and RS3 8V’s gave us 4 separate vehicle scans that we could then pull together into one file that has allowed us to create one intake that fits all 4 variations. So, no matter where you’re based in the world or what vehicle you have, the Forge Motorsport FMINDK47 is the intake for you.
Trying to ensure that our performance intake is a one fit all solution also involved an understanding of how turbo inlets vary across the globe for the RS3 market. The OEM turbo elbow is an aluminium cast part with a 3” inlet tract that tapers down to the factory turbo charger cold side feed. Forge Motorsport offer and manufacture an upgraded silicone inlet elbow and turbo inlet adaptor (FMINLH9) not only to increase the area to the inlet tract but also the volumetric capacity. This has been increased to 3.5” and is the largest available product that fits RHD vehicles (due to space constraints with the brake master cylinder and is not physically possible to increase this size any further). However, this is not a problem on LHD vehicles, and as such there are various 4” variants available. To ensure our intake will work in conjunction with either the stock or any aftermarket inlet elbows on RHD or LHD vehicles we’ve incorporated an innovative solution that will be interchangeable if you wish to further enhance the engine performance of your Audi.
