going to the rear of the beautiful aluminum "Y" on top of the engine. My acceleration does not seem as stellar as it used to be.

APR

way is to remove the boot and inspect it off the car. Lucky for all they are very cheap from Audi(only $8 dollors). Ours on our R&D S4 has torn already and we orderd 8 boots. I hope this helps.

When inspecting the boot is the tear pretty obvious or am I looking for a pinhole sized breach? I'm about to tear it off this afternoon for an inspection. Thanks in advance.

Was wondering if APR or anyone else was looking into replacing the intake boot with a solid pipe?

The engine's gonna move around, so the boot has to be flexible, hence it's accordian appearance.

You could do poly couplings on either end for the flex and movement. It just seems like better setup with a solid intake pipe.

be hard to see, so make sure you work the rubber around in your hand to find a tear. Our boot split near one of the hose clamps. Feel free to give us a ring if you have any in depth questions.

Hope this helps,

The accordian like intake one, or the thick rubber Y boot underneath the front engine cover?

the thick one under the engine cover that connects to the t-body

this is where mine was torn, and I didn't see it. Dealer uninstalled it and found tear.
