The factory airbox on the Audi SQ7, SQ8, and RSQ8 is a packaging compromise — engineered for noise suppression and manufacturing efficiency, not performance. The iE 4M Carbon Air Intake System replaces it entirely with a precision-engineered, free-flowing assembly that removes airflow restrictions and delivers a meaningful increase in power and response across the full RPM range. Designed to fit the 4.0T twin-turbo V8 as found in the Audi SQ7, SQ8, and RSQ8, as well as the Lamborghini Urus and Porsche Cayenne Turbo sharing the same engine platform. Developed to pair seamlessly with iE stage calibrations and hybrid turbo upgrades.
THE KEY TO 900 HP+
The intake is your engine’s lungs… and your factory plastic airbox is choking them. The iE Air Intake System is a masterclass in airflow for your 4.0T Audi, Porsche, or Lamborghini SUV, removing restrictions and force-feeding your turbos the air they demand. Built to extract maximum power from tunes and hybrid turbos. Every upgrade goes further. Every pull hits harder.
SET YOUR TUNE FREE
The moment you tune your 4.0T, the stock intake becomes a restriction. It limits airflow, reduces turbo efficiency, and caps power. The iE Air Intake force-feeds your engine the air it needs to perform at its peak, delivering stronger pulls and power that scales with your build. Add up to 237 HP and 272 ft-lbs of torque with just an iE tune and intake.
COMPLETE FLOW, NO ADD-ONS
No need to purchase separate turbo inlet upgrades to unlock full performance. iE integrates high-flow inlets directly into the intake, creating a single, continuous, optimized path from the intake to the turbos. Power comes from volume, smooth flow, and a steady air supply, all delivered in one complete system, right out of the box. No extra parts. No added cost.
AIRFLOW, DONE RIGHT
iE engineers obsessively tested, refined, and validated every inch to maximize airflow. Massive internal volume, smooth flow paths, and integrated vents keep your engine fed at all times. With 41% more flow than stock, your twin-turbo V8 always breathes free.
FILTER SUPERIORITY
More airflow only works if your filter doesn’t become the bottleneck. A quality air filter is critical for protecting your engine, but it also restricts airflow as performance demands increase. iE solves this with a massive 185% increase in filter surface area, delivering more airflow without sacrificing proper filtration. A built-in velocity stack smooths and accelerates airflow into the turbos for consistent power you can feel.
GALLERY LOOKS BUILT FOR A FIGHT
Your premium twin-turbo V8 deserves better than a flat sheet of plastic. The iE carbon fiber intake transforms your engine bay with a sculpted, high-gloss design that looks as powerful as it performs. It also shields incoming air from engine heat, maintaining lower intake temperatures for reliable power output.
PERFECT FIT, ZERO HEADACHES
If you’ve ever dealt with parts that don’t quite fit, you know how frustrating installation can be. iE eliminates that guesswork by 3D-scanning, digitally modeling, and rapid prototyping every inch of your engine bay to ensure a precise, factory-like fit. This obsessive approach ensures every component fits as intended with no trimming, no rattles, and no fighting parts into place. Just a simple bolt-on install that looks right and delivers pro-level results in your own garage.
MORE AIR. MORE CAPABILITY.
Airflow is the foundation of performance. The iE Air Intake System delivers 1,088 CFM with 41% more flow than the stock airbox, feeding the twin-turbo V8 the volume it needs to reach its full potential. Developed and validated as part of the iE performance ecosystem — every subsequent upgrade performs better with this intake in place.
THE INTAKE YOUR ENGINE CAN HEAR
The factory airbox muffles the 4.0T’s character. The iE intake removes that barrier, allowing turbo spool, diverter valve activity, and throttle response to come through cleanly. The result is a driving experience that’s more connected, more immediate, and noticeably more alive at every throttle input.
SCULPTED CARBON FIBER. FUNCTIONAL AND STRIKING.
The iE Air Intake System replaces a large plastic cover with a purpose-designed carbon fiber assembly that transforms the appearance of the engine bay. Sculpted lines and premium materials deliver the visual statement the twin-turbo V8 underneath deserves — functional performance with presence.
PRECISION FIT. STRAIGHTFORWARD INSTALL.
Developed using advanced 3D scanning of the factory engine bay, every component achieves millimeter-level accuracy. No trimming, no rattles, no guesswork. Professional-quality results achievable in a home garage with common hand tools.
SYSTEM-READY DESIGN
Engineered to integrate directly with iE’s stage calibration ecosystem and complementary hardware. Designed to scale with the build without becoming obsolete as other components are added.
