HPS Performance Products Blue Shortram Air Intake Kit for Audi A3 2006-2008 2.0T Turbo
$329.00
Free Shipping

If you're looking to give your 2006-2008 Audi A3 2.0T Turbo FSI a little extra kick, the HPS Blue short ram air intake kit might just be what you need. This isn’t just any intake; it’s designed with performance in mind, featuring a mandrel-bent aluminum tube that really opens up airflow. We're talking about dyno-proven gains of about +16.6 horsepower and +15.5 ft/lbs of torque. That’s a noticeable bump that can really wake up your ride.

One of the cool things about this kit is the heat shield. It does a great job of keeping engine heat from messing with your intake air. That means cooler, denser air getting into your engine, which is always a good thing. Plus, if you live in a place where rain can sneak up on you, the short ram design is a solid choice. It’s less likely to suck in water compared to a cold air intake, which can be a lifesaver on those wet days.

Installation? Don’t sweat it. The kit comes with an easy-to-follow manual packed with clear pictures and instructions. You won’t need to make any modifications, and you won’t have to worry about tuning your car after the install. It’s a straightforward swap that won’t trigger the check engine light either, which is a relief.

The lightweight aluminum piping replaces your stock air box, optimizing airflow while also ensuring durability. HPS has included their signature reinforced silicone hoses and 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps, so you know it’s built to last—even if you decide to push your car to the limit.
