034 Motorsport - S34 Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake - VW MK7 & 7.5 Golf GTI & R - 034-108-1044.
The S34 Carbon Fibre Intake offers discerning enthusiasts measurable increases in horsepower and torque, more aggressive induction sound and turbocharger noise, and a beautiful carbon fibre heat shield to prevent hot air from the engine bay from entering the intake.
The result is an optimized open-airbox design that utilizes the factory fresh air duct inlet to channel cool outside air to the filter. This large airbox design allows for a massive 4" inlet conical air filter, free of restrictive shrouding, and channels air through a CFD-optimized 4-ply silicone inlet hose that smoothly increases air velocity to the throttle body.
Minimizing Unnecessary Filter Shrouding:
A bigger filter isn’t always better. If air can’t flow freely around it, the filter gets choked and performance drops. 034 Motorsport tested and refined this intake so the filter has room to breathe, pairing the right size filter with the right size housing. The result is maximum airflow with OEM-level filtration.
Maximizing Airflow:
034 Motorsport engineers first created a CFD-optimized 4-Ply silicone intake tube, which is a direct, high-performance replacement for the plastic factory accordion/sound deadening hose. Using CAD software and 3D scanning technology, 034 Motorsport was able to optimize the cross-sectional area of the intake tube while being mindful of space constraints. The resulting part is a functional work of art - maximizing performance given the factory space constraints and featuring smooth transitions that ensure optimal airflow to the throttle body.
Performance Air Filter:
The S34 Carbon Fibre Intake houses a high-flow conical air filter with a double-layer pleated cotton filtration medium, capable of trapping particles as small as 5 Microns. This air filter design offers increased flow through an enlarged filtration surface while ensuring superior filtration. We have tested this air filter in applications over 800HP with minimal restriction, and superior OEM quality air filtration.

Note: This intake will only fit utilizing the GTI battery. This will not fit on AWD VW/Audi vehicles with the OE larger-sized battery. If your car came equipped with the Larger Group 46/H6 battery, you will need to switch to the GTI Battery as listed below:
- GTI Battery Part Number: 5K0 915 105 C or 000 915 105 DC
- GTI Battery Size: Size H5 / Group 47 61Ah 330A (DIN)
CFM Gains:
CFM stands for "cubic feet per minute" of airflow, the higher the number, the higher the horsepower an intake can support, at 034 Motorsport we design our intakes to have substantial flow increases over the factory intake, we test all our intakes at 28" of water (how much vacuum is used to suck air through the intake) on a Superflow airflow bench which gives us very accurate and repeatable test results. A stock intake that flows 200CFM may only freely support about 300HP, an intake that flows 400CFM can support roughly twice that power or 600HP.
Pressure Drop Improvements:
Pressure Drop is the difference in ambient air pressure and the air pressure measured at the turbocharger inlet across the engine's rpm range. The higher the pressure drop at any given rpm, the more restrictive the intake system is, reducing airflow.
Dyno-Verified Wheel Horsepower & Torque Gains:
034 Motorsport's engineering and development efforts were validated on multiple vehicles using our Mustang AWD Dynamometer to ensure that the S34 Carbon Fibre Intake provided substantial increases in horsepower and torque on both stock turbocharger and ones with upgraded turbochargers alike.
