034 Motorsports X34 Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System for Audi A3/S3/TT/TTS & VW Golf/GTI/R/GLI 1.8T/2.0T
$706.50

034Motorsport X34 Carbon Fiber MQB Open-Top Cold Air Intake System

If you own a 2015-2020 Audi A3/S3, 2016-2020 Audi TT/TTS, or a 2015-2019 Volkswagen Golf/GTI/R, then the 034Motorsport X34 Carbon Fiber MQB Open-Top Cold Air Intake System is a must-have upgrade for your 1.8T and 2.0T EA888 Gen 3 engines. Designed with performance in mind, this intake system is engineered to enhance airflow, improve throttle response, and deliver a more aggressive engine sound.

Optimized Airflow for Maximum Performance

The 034Motorsport team meticulously analyzed the factory intake system, identifying key components that restricted airflow to the turbocharger. While the lower airbox and fresh air duct are adequate for stock power levels, the upper airbox and turbo inlet tube were found to be limiting. The X34 intake system replaces these restrictive parts with a one-piece design that significantly reduces turbulence and pressure drop, ensuring that your turbocharger gets the airflow it craves.

Engineering Excellence

Through extensive prototyping and testing, the final design features a robust 4-inch inlet at the air filter and a large-diameter intake tube that maintains smooth transitions back to the factory turbo inlet. This innovative design not only improves performance but also retains an OEM+ fit and finish, seamlessly integrating with your engine bay.

Real Gains You Can Feel

Backed by rigorous testing on a Mustang AWD Dynamometer, the X34 intake system has proven to deliver impressive horsepower and torque gains:
