🏁 Your Supercharged V6. Finally Breathing.

The 3.0L V6 Supercharged engine in your Audi is a refined, high-revving powerhouse. The factory intake system was designed for one thing: keeping the supercharger quiet and meeting emissions standards.

That means a box full of baffles, restricted tubing, and a paper filter that chokes the supercharger at peak boost.

Flashark's intake eliminates all of it:

→ Unrestricted 76mm smooth-bore tubing throughout — no flow-killing bends
→ Dry high-flow filter — more surface area than the factory paper element
→ Sharper throttle response under full boost (supercharger is always pulling)
→ +10-20 whp / +15-25 wtq on stock tune
→ No check engine light
→ Direct bolt-on in 2 hours

Your supercharger has been waiting for this.

🔧 Why Flashark? 5 Reasons

1️⃣  DESIGNED FOR THE SUPERCHARGER

The V6T's supercharger is always spinning — it doesn't care if you're at 2,000 RPM or 6,500 RPM. The factory intake is engineered to meet noise and emissions standards, not flow targets.

Flashark's 76mm smooth-bore aluminum intake provides:
• Unrestricted airflow at all RPMs
• Reduced turbo/supercharger lag
• Smoother MAF signal = better fuel trim

→ No check engine light
→ No tune required
→ Instant throttle response improvement

2️⃣  DRY FILTER — NO OIL, NO MESS

Unlike cotton-oiled filters that require periodic re-oiling, Flashark's dry media filter:
• Wash and reinstall — no oil needed
• Never risk over-oiling and coating MAF
• Better dust filtration than cotton
• Lasts the life of your Audi

Maintenance: Vacuum or rinse clean every 15,000-20,000 miles.

3️⃣  LARGER DIAMETER vs. FACTORY RESTRICTION

The factory intake tube has internal diameter restrictions and baffles that create turbulence before the MAF sensor. Flashark's 76mm mandrel-bent aluminum provides:
• 40%+ larger flow area than factory
• Smooth airflow path (no turbulence)
• Lower intake air temps vs. stock box

4️⃣  COLD AIR INTAKE vs. HOT ENGINE BAY

The included airbox enclosure holds the filter in the coldest zone of the engine bay — away from the supercharger heat and radiator outlet.

Even with the supercharger running hot, Flashark's heat-separation design keeps intake temps down under full boost.

5️⃣  BOLT-ON IN 2 HOURS — NO CUTTING

Vehicle-specific design for B8/B8.5 V6T. No cutting, no drilling, no custom work.

Tools needed: Basic hand tools (ratchet, T20/T25 Torx, 10mm sockets). Estimated time: 1.5-2 hours
