The Forge Motorsport FMINLH8 High-Flow Intake Hard Pipe is engineered explicitly for the legendary 2.5 TFSI EVO engine found in the Audi RS3 8V Facelift (2017+), the current Audi RS3 8Y platform, and the Audi TTRS (8S). This upgrade eliminates the highly restrictive factory plastic multi-bellows inlet pipe. By stepping up the bore diameter significantly from the original unit to a smooth, massive 89mm outer diameter, it drastically increases total volumetric flow, driving cooler, high-density air directly into the turbocharger for optimized engine efficiency.

Key Performance Features

• Enlarged Bore Geometry: Increases inner volume by moving to an 89mm outer diameter mandrel-bent alloy construction, easing structural restriction.
• Dyno-Proven Horsepower: Delivers measurable power increases of up to 10HP when paired with appropriate performance engine remapping.
• Fluorosilicone Lined Couplers: Includes bespoke multi-ply silicone connectors crafted with an advanced inner fluorosilicone liner to resist oil misting degradation.
• UK Hand-Welded Fabrication: Constructed utilizing CNC mandrel bending techniques and TIG-welded by skilled craftsmen right here in the United Kingdom.
• Satin Black Protection: Powder-coated in a premium satin black finish that matches perfectly with the standard OEM engine bay configuration.

Choose Your Option

This inlet hard pipe is designed for universal integration with the factory standard airbox configuration and thrives exceptionally well when matched with an aftermarket performance panel filter upgrade.

Satin Black Alloy

Provides a clean, low-profile performance look while maximizing core structural rigidity against collapse under extreme load conditions.

Additional Enhancements

To realize the ultimate potential of your 2.5 TFSI engine bay, this hard pipe should ideally be coupled with matching high-performance induction modifications.
