160001001.ZLS - Wagner Tuning Short Intake Manifold (with Auxiliary Air Valve) - Audi S2 / RS2 5 Cylinder 20V

Dramatically improve the filling of your 5-cylinder inline engine with the Wagner Tuning short intake manifold (Part Number: 160001001.ZLS). Specially developed for high performance and motorsport, this cast aluminum intake pipe is the essential centerpiece for unlocking the full potential of large turbochargers on the Audi 2.2 20V Turbo engine blocks.

German Engineering: Maximum Flow and Instant Response

The original Audi S2/RS2 intake tract design quickly shows its limits during a serious engine build. The plenum and runner bends of this Wagner Tuning short intake manifold were fully modeled to ensure perfectly even air distribution across all 5 cylinders. By drastically reducing the internal volume compared to the stock part, this intake shortens the path of the compressed air, thereby eliminating response lag for instant throttle response.

This specific model includes a mounting location for the auxiliary air valve (ISV), preserving stable idle control and everyday comfort, whether on the street or on the track. Made from high-quality cast aluminum, it withstands extreme boost pressures without any deformation, making it the go-to choice for projects aiming for large power gains (builds from 400 to over 700 hp).

Technical Specifications and Key Benefits:

• Optimized Short Architecture: Maximized gas flow and minimized turbo response time.
• Balanced Distribution: Internal runners designed to feed each cylinder in a strictly identical manner.
• ISV Valve Location: Designed to accommodate the idle control valve (auxiliary air valve).
• High-Strength Material: Premium cast aluminum, precision CNC machined.
• Performance Fitment: Ideal for simplifying the routing of intercooler hoses in a large-volume setup (front mount intercooler).
• Racing Look: Clean finish that brings a distinctly premium touch to the engine bay.

Precise Vehicle Compatibility (5-Cylinder 20V Turbo Engines)

This automotive performance component by Wagner Tuning is compatible with the following iconic Audi models equipped with 2.220V Turbo engine blocks:

• Audi S2 Coupe / Sedan / Avant: 2.2 20V Turbo (Engine codes: 3B / ABY) - 1990 to 1995
• Audi RS2 Avant: 2.2 20V Turbo (Engine code: ADU) - 1994 to 1996
• Audi Ur-Quattro: Versions converted to 20V block (3B/RR)

Important technical note: This short intake manifold moves the throttle body position toward the front of the engine. Custom adaptation of the boost circuit (intercooler piping) and throttle cable is required during installation.

Kit contents: 1 aluminum short intake manifold with integrated auxiliary air passage (screws and gaskets sold separately).

The tuner's advice: To optimize the performance of this plenum, we suggest pairing it with a Wagner Tuning large-volume front mount intercooler kit designed for the Audi S2. Airflow will then be completely unrestricted from the turbo all the way to your intake valves!
