034 X34 Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake - AUDI 8V S3/TT/TTS & MK7 Golf GTI/R

The 034Motorsport X34 Carbon Fibre MQB Cold Air Intake System is engineered for the EA888 Gen 3 1.8T & 2.0T engines found in the Audi 8V/8S A3/S3/TT/TTS and Volkswagen Mk7 GTI/R. Developed as an OEM+ upgrade, it delivers measurable horsepower and torque gains over the factory intake while enhancing throttle response and induction sound.

Optimised Airflow

034Motorsport engineers first analysed the factory intake to identify its main restrictions. While the lower airbox and fresh-air duct were adequate for higher power levels, the factory air filter, upper airbox, and turbo inlet tube were too restrictive—even with a stock turbo.

Using 3D scanning and CAD modelling, the team designed a one-piece carbon fibre assembly to replace the factory upper airbox and plastic intake tube. This streamlined design removes unnecessary couplers and jagged transitions, reducing turbulence and minimising pressure drop before the turbo inlet.

Multiple prototypes were 3D-printed, tested, and revised until the optimal configuration was achieved: a fully enclosed carbon fibre airbox feeding a massive 4" filter inlet and a smooth, large-diameter intake tube that maintains consistent airflow all the way to the turbocharger.

TRUE COLD AIR INTAKE

To ensure that the X34 MQB Cold Air Intake System draws in cool, dense air, the system is manufactured entirely from carbon fiber, and completely enclosed to prevent hot air from the engine bay entering the intake tract. By bolting to the factory lower airbox, this design allows the enclosed high-flow conical filter to breathe fresh, cold air from the factory inlet duct before the radiator.

PERFORMANCE AIR FILTER

The 034Motorsport Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake system houses a high-flow conical air filter with a masive 4" inlet and double-layer pleated cotton filtration medium. This air filter design offers increased flow through an enlarged filtration surface, while ensuring superior filtration.

OEM+ FIT & FINISH

034Motorsport carefully selected the carbon fiber weave on the intake tube and upper airbox heat shield to match the factory carbon fiber engine trim found in Audi RS-model engine bays. The 034Motorsport MQB Audi/Volkswagen 1.8T/2.0T Cold Air Intake System was designed to fit like a factory part, and mates directly to the turbo inlet pipe and factory lower airbox to provide an OEM+ look.

DYNO-VERIFIED WHEEL HORSEPOWER & TORQUE GAINS

034Motorsport's engineering and development efforts were validated on multiple vehicles using our Mustang AWD Dynamometer to ensure that the 034Motorsport Audi/Volkswagen MQB Cold Air Intake System provided substantial increases in horsepower and torque on both stock vehicles and ones with upgraded tunes alike.
