Developed using Eventuri's high-temperature prepreg carbon fiber construction, the inlet increases internal volume, provides a progressively curved airflow path, and incorporates thermal isolation between the carbon elbow and turbocharger. This version includes the additional breather components required for North American left-hand-drive Audi 8Y RS3 models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe factory turbo inlet measures approximately 72mm at the intake connection and narrows to 56.4mm at the turbocharger outlet. Eventuri increases these dimensions to 103mm and 74mm, respectively, creating a substantially larger internal cross-sectional area. The carbon elbow maintains a continuous curvature between the intake connection and selected turbo flange, reducing abrupt transitions that can increase airflow resistance. The design is intended to accommodate the airflow requirements of both factory and compatible upgraded turbochargers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe inlet elbow is manufactured from high-temperature prepreg carbon fiber with a nominal 2mm wall thickness and a smooth internal surface. Unlike the factory cast-metal inlet, the carbon construction has lower through-thickness thermal conductivity, helping limit conductive heat transfer into the intake tract. A heat-reflective layer is also applied where the elbow passes over the exhaust manifold to reduce exposure to radiant heat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdditional thermal isolation is provided by a CNC-machined aluminum turbo flange and an oil-resistant silicone coupler incorporating an internal spacer. This arrangement separates the carbon elbow from direct contact with the turbocharger flange, reducing the transfer of heat from the turbocharger assembly into the carbon intake tube. The inlet is supplied in a raw carbon finish without a clear coat, accommodating the elevated operating temperatures near the turbocharger and exhaust manifold.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEventuri conducted controlled flow-bench comparisons using a SuperFlow SF-1020, measuring an increase of up to 42% in maximum airflow over the factory inlet when configured with the stock turbo flange. Results vary with the selected flange and turbocharger configuration. These measurements describe the inlet's airflow capacity and should not be interpreted as a guaranteed horsepower increase.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe U.S.-market configuration includes the silicone breather components and blanking plug required for the North American 8Y RS3 crankcase ventilation arrangement. Marine-grade stainless steel hose clamps and application-specific couplers complete the installation hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe turbo inlet is designed to integrate with the Eventuri Audi 8Y RS3 Black Carbon Intake System, available separately. Together, the intake and inlet provide a larger, more continuous airflow path from the filter assembly toward the turbocharger compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTurbo Flange Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA compatible turbo flange is required for installation.\u003c\/strong\u003e The carbon inlet cannot be installed without a flange.
