Is the AWE AirGate Carbon Intake for the B9 A4 and A5 legal for street use?

The AWE AirGate Carbon Intake is designated for racing use only and is not approved for sale or street use in California. AWE and multiple authorized retailers confirm this classification across all AirGate intake listings. It is also not legal for street use on emissions-controlled vehicles in jurisdictions that require intake compliance. If street legality or emissions compliance is a requirement for your application, verify with an authorized AWE dealer before purchasing.

Does the AWE AirGate Carbon Intake for the B9 A4 and A5 require a tune to achieve the 12hp and 9ft-lb gains?

No. The max gains of 12hp and 9ft-lb of torque at the wheels are achieved on stock software on the B9 A4 and A5 with the 2.0T engine. The AWE S-FLO Filter included with the intake is designed specifically for this airbox to maximize airflow, and it is that airflow improvement that unlocks the gains on the factory ECU calibration. No additional tuning is required to see the performance numbers AWE publishes for this platform.

How does the AirGate lid work, and can it be added later if the intake is purchased without one?

The carbon fiber lid drops into place and is secured with two easily accessible hex screws; removing or installing it takes a matter of minutes and no tools other than a hex key. With the lid off, turbo induction sounds and spool carry clearly into the cabin under boost. With the lid on, the intake operates in a more enclosed, subdued configuration. The lid can be purchased separately at any point after buying the intake, so starting without the lid and adding it later is a confirmed option.

Does the AWE AirGate Carbon Intake trigger a check engine light on the B9 A4 or A5?

No. The AWE AirGate Carbon Intake for the B9 A4 and A5 is covered by AWE's No Check Engine Light guarantee when installed properly and used as intended on a vehicle with no additional non-AWE modifications. The system integrates with the factory OEM inlet ducting through the AirGate's floating airbox inlet and retains all stock mounting locations, keeping the ECU reading correctly throughout.

Description

AWE Tuning 2.0T Quattro Carbon AirGate Intake for B9 Audi A4 / A5

AWE AirGate intake for A4 and A5 owners: a system designed, engineered, and tested in-house at AWE, built from genuine 2×2 carbon fiber and fitted with the durable, washable AWE S-FLO high-flow filter for long-term serviceability. The system mounts to the stock locations without modification and integrates directly with the OEM inlet ducting through a smooth transition from the airbox inlet to the turbo inlet, so installation is clean and straightforward. With the lid off, the turbo spool under boost comes through clearly in the cabin; bolt the lid back on, and the setup stays quiet and discreet. On stock software, the B9 A4 and A5 pick up peak gains of 12hp and 9ft-lb of torque at the wheels.

The AirGate Carbon Intake

The AirGate Carbon Intake gives you a straightforward choice over how much intake noise reaches the cabin under boost; pull the lid off for a more open, pronounced turbo induction sound, or drop it back on and tighten two hex screws for a cleaner, more subdued setup. Built from genuine 2×2 carbon fiber with UV-stabilized resin and clear coat, the airbox mounts directly to the stock location and connects to the factory ducting through the Air Gate’s floating airbox inlet without any modification required.

The S-FLO Filter

The included AWE S-FLO Filter is purpose-built for this airbox, keeping serviceability straightforward while pushing airflow to its maximum potential. That improvement in airflow unlocks peak gains of 12hp and 9ft-lb of torque at the wheels, and when the carbon fiber airbox and S-FLO Filter work together, the intake note gets sharper, and the turbo spool comes through in a way that makes every pull more satisfying.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
