REVO SQ5 3.0TFSI OEM+ INTAKE SYSTEM

AIRFILTER

The standard paper filter found in most vehicles performs well under normal conditions, however, with increased power it becomes a major choking point in the system. Revo filters work by trapping dirt particles within each of the oiled foam layers while allowing air to negotiate its way through, reducing restrictions and offering much longer service intervals. The new Revo filter features a CAD-designed base plate, allowing a direct fit replacement for the stock airbox.

SILICONE HOSE

The plastic hose on the stock system is designed with a corrugated style to flex with the engine movement, while this has its place it also causes a large amount of turbulence as the airflow doesn’t have a smooth direct path to the turbo. We designed the silicone hose with stepped internals to ensure a flush fit, and to minimise turbulence while still allowing for engine movement.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 

All Revo products are designed in-house and are rigorously tested utilising an in-house 3D printer, the latest CAD and CFD programs, hub dyno and Revo data acquisition software. The Revo intake allows the turbo to run more efficiently, intake a larger volume of air and minimise turbulence to increase both power and torque, as highlighted during controlled dyno testing.

The Revo SQ5 OEM+ air intake system was tested in-house to compare the performance against that of the Audi OEM intake. First tested on a vehicle running the OEM intake with Revo Stage 2 software, Revo Intercooler & Pipes and a Milltek Sports downpipe, the Revo intake was then installed and tested in the same controlled environment to highlight the benefits of enhanced cooling.

PERFORMANCE 

The results show improvements in power and torque from just 2400RPM, but especially in the peak power. The Revo intake offers an average gain of +5WHP, and +9NM torque over the stock part. Increased airflow also delivers impressive peak performance gains of +14WHP @4100rpm and +26NM @3200RPM over the stock intake system.
