Default :: ECS Tuning :: NEW!! B8 A5 2.0T Kohlefaser Luft-Technik Intake System



Crafted from hand-laid carbon fiber and utilizing a fiberglass interior layer, Kohlefaser Luft-Technik Intake sets a new benchmark in appearance and durability - all while resisting the performance-robbing effects of engine heat soak.

ECS has subjected this system to rigorous real-world testing, efficiency and power gain measurements on our in-house chassis dynamometer.

The convergence of unrivaled beauty, perfected fitment, industry-standard quality, and evidence-based performance claims has resulted in a gorgeous power-enhancer beyond anything available for your Audi.


The ECS Tuning Kohlefaser Luft-Technik Intake System features:

  • Carbon fiber upper lid
  • Powder coated twin-layer Aluminum heat shield
  • Brushed secondary 5052 Aluminum heat shield
  • 3" 8 ply cotton gauze conical hi-flow reusable air filter; featuring a bell mouth inlet
  • 4-ply silicone turbo inlet to hinder collapsing mated with stainless steel hose clamps

  • Broader and smoother torque curve for an enhanced driving experience
  • Gains of +4 WHP / +4 FT-LBS WTQ on APR Stage 1 ECU Upgrade
  • Dyno proven increased engine efficiency
  • Reduced intake restriction
  • Reduced turbo outlet temperatures
  • Reduced turbo strain: lower pressure ratio
  • Reduced ignition timing retard

ECS Tuning's Kohlefaser Luft-Technik Intake System not only adds aesthetics and increased power output, but also allows your engine to run more efficiently. Due to the better flowing and more efficient intake design we were able to reduce turbo outlet temperatures by as much as 34°F at wide open throttle, and increase intake flow by 160% when compared to stock. This resulted in pulling equal amounts of power at lower boost levels and a more consistent running engine. Our testing showed that the stock intake was so restrictive that the ECU was pulling ignition timing and increasing boost to make up for the intakes inherently restrictive design. By carefully designing the intake, we were able to ensure that the ECU was not pulling ignition timing and producing power at lower boost levels. With the combination of increased ignition timing, reduced intake restriction and reduced turbo outlet temperatures, we were successfully able to design an intake system that overall outperforms the stock intake in every single way while reducing the stress placed on the motor.

Below are graphs showing how restrictive the factory intake is compared to ours an how much ours drops turbo outlet temps.

Turbo Inlet Restriction



Turbo Outlet Temperature



In summary we were able to reduce turbo outlet temperatures by as much as 34°F at wide open throttle, and increase intake flow by 160% when compared to stock. This resulted in pulling equal amounts of power at lower boost levels and a more consistent running engine. Our testing showed that the stock intake was so restrictive that the ECU was pulling ignition timing and increasing boost to make up for the intakes inherently restrictive design. By carefully designing the intake, we were able to ensure that the ECU was not pulling ignition timing and producing power at lower boost levels. With the combination of increased ignition timing, reduced intake restriction and reduced turbo outlet temperatures, we were successfully able to design an intake system that overall outperforms the stock intake in every single way while reducing the stress placed on the motor.
