Milltek Catted Front Section with Turbo Outlet Elbow for Audi RS3 8V Pre-Facelift | SSXAU587

Looking to free up the 2.5 TFSI and get it ready for proper software? This Milltek catted front section with integrated turbo outlet elbow is a proven upgrade for the RS3 8V pre-facelift. Expect quicker spool, stronger mid-range pull and a richer, more engaging tone when paired with the correct calibration.
