Break the mold with AirGate™.
The AirGate™ Carbon Intake for the B9 SQ5:
The AirGate™ Carbon Intake allows options for those seeking more volume from their intake when under boost. Want to hear more turbo induction sounds from within the cabin? Go lidless. Prefer to keep it a bit more stealthy? Simply bolt the AirGate™ lid in place with a few turns of two easily-accessible hex screws, and the AirGate intake transforms into a sealed configuration.
Constructed of genuine 2x2 carbon fiber with a UV-stabilized resin and clear coat, the AirGate™ Carbon Intake mounts securely to the stock location and integrates with the factory ducting perfectly via the AirGate’s floating airbox inlet.
The S-FLO Filter:
The included AWE S-FLO Filter is designed specifically for this air box to be easily serviceable and to maximize airflow. This increase in airflow unlocked maximum gains of 17 hp and 13 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels for the 3.0T (note: results are the delta between runs compared to stock, paired with a piggyback tuner).
The combination of carbon fiber airbox and included S-FLO Filter makes for a more aggressive intake note, with an intoxicating turbo spool sound.
What’s in the box?
AirGate™ Carbon Intake, carbon lid, S-FLO Filter, bespoke CNC laser-cut stainless support bracket, and all necessary hardware.
