IE Carbon Cold Air Intake System for Audi B9/B9.5 SQ5 3.0T
The Integrated Engineering Carbon Cold Air Intake System has been meticulously engineered to improve the airflow, efficiency, and performance of the Audi B9 and B9.5 SQ5 3.0T. Combining premium carbon fiber construction with motorsport-inspired airflow optimization, the system delivers impressive performance gains while enhancing induction and turbocharger sound.
The seamless one-piece carbon fiber airbox, integrated velocity stack, and massive 5-inch high-flow air filter increase airflow by up to 28% over the factory intake. When paired with the optional IE Turbo Inlet Pipe, airflow increases by up to 44.2%, supporting gains of up to 19 HP and 21 lb-ft on tuned vehicles.

Technical Information
The seamless one-piece carbon fiber airbox eliminates potential air leaks while maximizing internal volume and structural rigidity. An integrated velocity stack provides a smooth laminar airflow transition from the 5-inch filter to the turbo inlet, reducing turbulence and improving airflow velocity.
Performance
Flow bench testing demonstrates airflow gains of up to 28% with the factory turbo inlet and up to 44.2% when paired with the optional IE Turbo Inlet Pipe. Hybrid turbo applications achieve airflow improvements of up to 57.6%, making the system an excellent foundation for high-performance builds. Dyno testing recorded gains of up to 19 HP and 21 lb-ft on tuned vehicles.
Installation
The intake installs directly using factory mounting locations without permanent modifications. The optional IE Turbo Inlet Pipe can be installed at the same time or added later to further increase airflow and performance.
Notes
IE Turbo Inlet Pipe and hybrid turbo adapter rings are sold separately. The intake system is compatible with both factory and many hybrid turbocharger upgrades.
