POWER GAINS
Real-world power numbers are achieved using our in-house dyno cells to record the effect the optimized flow rate, air supply, and volume have on horsepower and torque. The testing was performed in controlled conditions with stock turbo inlets on the same day back to back. Dyno results show consistent and significant power gains of 69HP & 55ft-lbs on our Stage 2 tuned RS7 at high altitude!
Power testing was performed in SLC, Utah, at 4,226 feet of elevation. Vehicles at or closer to sea level can expect even higher power gains exceeding 70-80HP depending on ECU tune, matching hardware, and fuel type.
FLOW BENCH TESTING
All intake prototype designs undergo back-to-back flow rate testing to validate the engineering efforts and confirm real-world results from the computational flow software. The result of the final optimized intake system delivers up to a 230 CFM increase over stock!
This flow increase results in a higher air supply ceiling to the twin turbochargers allowing for more boost and power. With the factory intake restrictions and airflow shortcomings resolved, the improved intake design delivers the airflow required for the turbochargers to produce a higher boost request (power). The intake improvements also achieve this boost request with less effort, reducing the wastegate demand.

The above gains are a result of various design details:
- The entire upper and lower airbox redesign provides organic transitions to optimize and speed up airflow while maintaining the lowest possible turbulence with excellent laminar properties.
- The internal volume increase feeds a significantly increased air supply to the turbochargers removing the factory restrictions and raising the ceiling for larger boost requests.
- The front ram air scoop and lower inlets provide multiple ambient temperature air sources for the engine to support greater demands from tuned and hybrid engines.
