Audi RS3 / TTRS 2.5 TFSI – AToM Race 2.5T Cold Air Intake (EA855)

Description: AToM Race RS – An Advanced Air Intake System Exclusively Engineered for Audi 2.5T EVO MK3 TTRS & 8V.2 RS3 (Facelift) 2018+ Models. We have a fresh take on our renowned AToM Race air intake system, re-imagined specifically for the engine requirements of the Audi RS3 and TTRS 2.5T EVO MK3. We have optimised the design of the air inlet duct to maximise airflow into the air intake tract. This gets air in through the grille and past the slam panel to increase airflow whilst reducing resistance. In conjunction with the strategically placed rubber seal, the design mitigates the intake of air from the hotter under-bonnet area, thus ensuring optimal ram air effect. The system guides the air into a high-flow 120mm/4.7-inch reverse-mounted cone filter. Its unique inverted cone design allows for peak engine breathing and unparalleled performance. Further enhancing the AToM Race RS’s efficiency, the cone filter is housed within a 160mm/6.3-inch air accumulator. Doubling as a heat shield, it navigates and shapes the air as it exits through a 100mm/4-inch outlet. The AToM Race RS air intake system is designed to ensure minimal flow resistance, maximum ram effect, and isolation of engine air from the airflow path. Key Features:

• Full-Width, Stepped Back Air Guide: The air guide catches air from both grille inlet ducts without blocking them. This minimizes turbulence as air rushes into the grille, allowing it to pass smoothly. The duct seals against the hood, creating a large clean space for air to enter and be guided into the 120mm filter inlet for maximum ram air effect.
• Reverse Mounted, Washable, Reusable 120mm (4.7″) Dry Cotton Filter: This large diameter filter inlet minimizes resistance to flow, providing a huge mouth for air entry. The shaped filter outlet ensures air exits as smoothly as possible.
• 100mm (4″) Outlet heat shield: Sealed inside a powder-coated aluminium case, the air filter shields against hot air from the engine bay. This provides a large volume for air accumulation, and a 100mm (4″) outlet ensures high-volume airflow.
• Silicone coupling: Perfectly matched, 4 Ply silicone coupling from intake to stock intake piping.

Will this intake fit my car?

This kit is designed and validated for the vehicles listed in the “Fits these vehicles” box above. If your year, model and engine code match, it is a direct-fit installation. If you are unsure, email sales@blazeperformance.com with your VIN and we will confirm fitment.

Do I need a tune (remap) to run this intake?

No — the kit is designed to work safely on a stock ECU map. You will get airflow and intake-note gains either way. If you are already running a Stage 1 or higher tune, this intake is fully compatible.

Is the install reversible?

Yes. The kit bolts on using the existing OEM mounting points and the original airbox can be re-installed at any time. There is no cutting, drilling or permanent modification.

Off-road or street legal?

Blaze Performance products are sold for closed-course, off-road and motorsport competition use. Local regulations on emissions and intake modifications vary by country — please check your local laws before fitting to a road-registered vehicle.
