Airflow Optimization
To validate its form through function; Unitronic engineers strategically used CFD to maximize the efficiency of this intake system. Every aspect of the design was studied closely, iteration after iteration, until reaching the maximums governed by the laws of physics. This CFD simulation illustrates how well airflow travels through the system. The primary focus was to achieve laminar flow and minimal pressure drop in all areas of the design. The result of this is an increase in volumetric efficiency.
Improved Flexibility
Unitronic high-quality EPDM silicone couplers offer a superior amount of flexibility over traditional silicone, while still offering the rigidity and strength needed to support high-powered 2.5TFSI engines. Unitronic’s engineers also created a design that allows for smooth, laminar airflow on the inside walls, while maintaining flexibility through the means of a non-collapsing structural rib profile. Unitronic's couplers are designed to perfectly align with the bead rolls on the carbon fiber tubes, to ensure a perfect and seamless connection; hose clamp guides ensure perfect alignment.
Airflow Validations
Using its in-house Superflow SF-1020 Flow Bench, Unitronic Engineers previously validated designs to ensure that this Intake System effectively optimizes airflow in a variety of conditions. The OEM intake yielded a peak flow rate of 595 CFM at 28” of H2O (Aq), while the Unitronic 4” Intake System achieved 1118 CFM with the Race Filter for a gain of 88% over the OEM Intake and flowed 1095 CFM with the Sport Filter, a gain of 84% over the OEM Intake.
Premium Fit and Finish
Crafted from the finest prepreg forged carbon fiber material, each component boasts unparalleled strength and a distinctive marbled finish. Utilizing advanced autoclave construction with proprietary molds featuring built-in UV and heat resistant protection, this Forged Carbon Fiber Intake System is engineered to perfection while ensuring uncompromised quality and attention to detail are maintained.
Air Filter Options
To encompass all applications, Unitronic offers both Sport and Race Air Filters. The Red Sport Filter comes included with the Forged Carbon Fiber 2.5TFSI EVO Intake System and offers sufficient airflow for daily driven applications while protecting your turbocharger and engine from debris and air particles that may be encountered during normal everyday driving. Unitronic’s Blue Race Filter is available as an optional add-on and intended for drag racing applications, where maximum airflow is most important. Both Sport and Race filters can be purchased separately.
Fitment/Applications:
