I can finally hear my turbo spooling up and unlocked a considerable amount of boost.
I’ve had my 034 inlet and intake on for months now, such a great mod, tons of turbo noises, enjoy!

Such a game changer! Thank you!
I did the IE inlet and intake along with the stage 1 on my '18 SQ5. My MPG increased—after I decided to drive normally and not step on the gas every chance. It is my daily too—go for it. You will not regret it.

Sweet, thank you! I just don’t want it to wear out my car, but it sounds like a bunch of you had it tuned! Which tune did you use?

IE 93 Octane. It’s a lot of fun. Before I tuned, I would always drive in Dynamic/S. Now I drive mainly in Comfort/D and pop down to S when I want to buzz around someone.
@Zephyr
So badass, thank you! Definitely made me think about a good tune down the road!
Put an IE carbon intake and turbo inlet on my stage 2 S3. Very pleased with the products they put out.
A proper mechanic could probably pipe in on this, but I think you need to tune your car so it can account for the extra mass of air coming in. I’m surprised you’re not getting a MAF error.

The company and my Audi shop said I didn’t need a tune, double-checked before I upgraded. They’ve had 100’s running the same on their SQ5 with no tune. She runs great!
Notice any increased oil burning? After I installed this on my old GTI, it started burning a ton of oil on startup. I guess a reduction of vacuum as the original TIP was designed for.
Does it make a significant impact on acceleration? Did you upgrade the fuel injection? Thanks.

It feels way more responsive, no tune or anything, just upgraded my Intake and Turbo Inlet Pipe. It says with a tune it could see greater gains, but she’s my daily at the moment.
@Ellis
You should probably tune it.
@Ellis
Spending money on these upgrades and not doing a tune is kind of a head-scratcher.

Just a cold air intake with a turbo inlet pipe. If I add more parts, then I’m down to tune it. My shop advised I’d be fine until I hit 100k miles to really tune it!
