2017-2025 CAP 3.0" Titanium/Aluminum 3.0T Turbo Inlet V2 | Audi B9/B9.5/C8 S4, S5, SQ5, A6

CAP V2 High-Flow Turbo Inlet for the B9/B9.5 3.0T Platform

Introducing the new and improved CAP V2 Turbo Inlet for the B9/B9.5 and C8 Audi 3.0T platform.

The factory turbo inlet was designed for cost and packaging, not performance. Its narrow internal diameter, and plastic construction limit airflow before it even reaches the turbocharger. With the V2 Turbo Inlet, Can Auto Performance has re-engineered the inlet from the ground up to remove these bottlenecks and deliver smoother, higher-volume airflow exactly where it matters most.

The result is faster turbo response, improved throttle feel, increased airflow efficiency, and significantly enhanced turbo sound, all in a fully bolt-on, OEM-fit solution built to last the lifetime of your vehicle.

Two Premium Materials. One Signature Design.

From clean show builds to daily-driven performance cars, the V2 inlet fits seamlessly into any setup. Choose the material that matches your style and goals:

• Aerospace-Grade Titanium: For the ultimate in lightweight strength and exotic appeal. Titanium naturally dissipates heat faster to keep intake air temperatures (IATs) down and is available in a subtle OEM+ Ghost (Brushed) finish or a bold Phoenix (Burnt) finish.
  
  
• Performance Aluminum: A robust, powder-coated option that delivers the same massive airflow gains in a durable, cost-effective package designed to outlast the engine itself.

Refined Design & Real Performance Gains.

For the V2 Turbo Inlet, we focused on improving every aspect of the original design:

• Increased internal diameter to reduce restriction
• Optimized inlet geometry for smoother airflow entry
• Upgraded to precision-machined aluminum for strength and heat resistance
• OEM-style connections for perfect fitment and reliability

When paired with our CAP V2 Intake, the CAP V2 Turbo Inlet allows the turbocharger to operate more efficiently and reach boost faster showing power gains of up to 19 horsepower and 21 ft-lbs of torque over stock, highlighting how critical the turbo inlet is to overall airflow performance.

Whether you’re stock, tuned, or planning future power upgrades, this inlet is designed to scale with your build.

Key Advantages of the CAP V2 Aluminum Turbo Inlet
