Happy Thursday! While it's not 5000-related, (but there is I5-content!) I had the time to post a quick behind-the-scenes look at the development of the Audi TT RS Cold Air Intake System on our blog yesterday. If you're interested in what goes into making your performance parts, it's worth a read!
Ever wonder what goes into the design, prototyping, and testing of a performance cold air intake? Take a behind-the-scenes look at the process used by 034Motorsport engineers in this Tech Article: Developing the Audi TT RS Carbon Fiber Intake System
The reality is that factory Audi/Volkswagen air intakes on newer vehicles set the bar quite high in terms of fitment and performance. The days of merely replacing the factory airbox with some piping and a generic cone filter and seeing performance improvements are long gone - in fact, many so-called "cold air" intakes are detrimental to performance under actual driving conditions.
While there is often room left to improve on the factory design, it requires a thorough analysis of the factory components, and an OEM+ engineering mindset.
Thank you for all of the orders this week, and we hope you enjoy the long weekend! We'll be closed on Monday and resume business as usual on Tuesday. :thumbup:
