Perfect flow – down to the last millimetre

This air intake system effectively removes restrictions in the intake tract, which is crucial for unlocking the full potential of the turbocharger and engine. The large 3.5″ silicone intake hose directs the airflow straight to the filter without losses. The result is maximum flow with optimum cooling.

Optional upgrades

Combined with our HF-Series turbo inlet (required only for 245 PS models), the intake path can be improved even further – ideal for performance upgrades. For the perfect visual finish, we also recommend our carbon engine cover, which matches the intake seamlessly and enhances the appearance of the engine bay.
