VCTR Performance Audi RS3 8V/TTRS 8S Intake Manifold Upgrade

Overview

The factory EA855 intake manifold is a limiting factor on high-power RS3 8V and TTRS builds. This CNC aluminium manifold replaces the OEM unit with an enlarged plenum and improved runner geometry — supporting airflow targets that the factory manifold cannot accommodate.

Why Upgrade?

• Enlarged plenum volume for improved high-RPM airflow distribution
• CNC machined aluminium for precision fitment over factory cast construction
• Supports EA855 power targets well beyond the factory manifold's capacity
• Direct replacement for the OEM intake manifold

Engineering Focus

CNC machined from aluminium — the enlarged plenum and revised port geometry support significantly higher airflow than the factory unit. Designed for RS3 8V and TTRS builds running serious power targets.

Built for the Drive, Not Just the Dyno

The EA855 five-cylinder is famous for its sound, but the factory plenum was sized to be quiet and efficient, not to feed a tuned build. An enlarged plenum is the unglamorous fix that actually matters once you're chasing real numbers — it's not a part you show off, it's a part that lets everything downstream of it work properly.

Fitment

Compatible with:

• Audi RS3 8V / 8V.2 (2015–2020) — 2.5 TFSI EA855
• Audi TT RS 8S (2016–2023) — 2.5 TFSI EA855
• Audi RS3 8V.2 / 8S (2017–2020) — 2.5 TFSI EA855 EVO
• Audi RSQ3 F3 (2019+) — 2.5 TFSI EA855 (verify variant before ordering)

Note: this manifold fits the shared EA855 2.5T platform across RS3 8V/8V.2, TTRS 8S and RSQ3 F3 — same engine, same flange. It does not fit standard A3/S3 8V (EA888) vehicles, which use a different engine entirely. Verify your specific model, year and drivetrain before ordering, or message us your rego/VIN and we'll confirm it for you.
