IE Throttle Body Upgrade Kit for Audi 8R Q5 & SQ5 3.0T
The Integrated Engineering Throttle Body Upgrade Kit unlocks the remaining performance potential of the supercharged Audi 8R Q5 and SQ5 3.0T engine. The kit replaces the restrictive factory throttle body with a larger German-made Continental V8 throttle body, increasing airflow by up to 20% and eliminating one of the largest intake restrictions on high-output Dual Pulley setups.
The complete kit includes a CFD-optimized cast aluminum adapter, plug-and-play wiring harness, and reinforced silicone coupler for IE Cold Air Intake Systems. When combined with the correct ECU calibration, the system supports up to 548 horsepower.
Features
- Up to 20% more airflow than the factory throttle body
- Supports up to 548 HP on Stage 2 Dual Pulley setups
- German-made Continental V8 throttle body
- CFD-optimized cast and CNC-machined adapter
- Plug-and-play wiring harness included
- Reinforced silicone coupler for IE Cold Air Intake Systems
- Direct bolt-on installation with no wiring modifications
- Retains factory drivability and operation
- Can be port matched to ported superchargers
- Free ECU calibration update included with IE Stage 2 Dual Pulley software
Technical Information
The cast aluminum adapter was engineered using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to create the smoothest possible airflow transition from the intake system to the larger throttle body. Extensive flow bench and dyno testing determined the included Continental throttle body offered the ideal balance of airflow and performance.
Performance
The larger throttle body removes the airflow bottleneck found on high-power Stage 2 Dual Pulley combinations utilizing upgraded supercharger pulleys, crank pulleys, cooling upgrades, and higher-octane fuels. The system increases airflow by up to 20% and supports power levels of up to 548 horsepower when combined with the appropriate hardware and calibration.
Installation
The kit is completely plug-and-play and includes all hardware required for installation. The supplied extension harness allows the new throttle body to function without electrical modifications. An IE Cold Air Intake System is required for a completely modification-free installation.
Notes
Requires an existing IE Stage 2 Dual Pulley ECU tune with the included throttle body calibration. The updated calibration is provided free of charge with compatible IE Stage 2 Dual Pulley software.
