The aFe Momentum GT Pro 5R cold air intake (part 50-70087R) replaces the factory airbox and intake plumbing on the Audi Q3 2.0L turbocharged inline-four. It pairs the Momentum GT housing and tube with the Pro 5R cotton-gauze filter. Compared with the stock airbox, the Pro 5R is a reusable element that you clean and re-oil rather than replace, which justifies the price over a basic drop-in filter. The gauze is built for airflow and suits street and track driving, but it needs periodic cleaning and careful re-oiling, so it fits buyers who will maintain it. Shoppers searching for an Audi Q3 2.0T cold air intake, a Pro 5R oiled filter for the Q3, or an aFe Momentum GT install guide will find this kit relevant.
Verify fitment before you buy. Model-year coverage for this kit is published inconsistently, and one listing ties the 2.0L to a specific 45 TFSI variant, so confirm your model year, submodel and engine code first. The housing is designed to seat onto the factory mounting grommets and uses the factory air inlet without extra brackets. The kit also includes an optional plug for the front auxiliary inlet. The manufacturer's Momentum GT instructions say that installing the plug limits intake to fender-opening air, while leaving it open draws in the most air available.
The manufacturer's Momentum GT parts list for another kit in the same family shows both a Pro 5R filter and a Pro DRY S dry filter as separate part numbers. Confirm with the manufacturer which element ships with 50-70087R before ordering.
According to the manufacturer's Momentum GT instructions, the plug closes the front auxiliary inlet so the intake draws only from the fender opening. Leaving the plug out lets the intake capture the maximum air available.
This is a bolt-on job for a home mechanic, but it involves several clamps and hose connections. The manufacturer's Momentum GT instructions advise disconnecting the negative battery terminal, working only on a cool engine, and keeping the factory parts for reinstallation. Reconnect the breather hose to the new intake tube and seat the housing fully in its grommets before tightening the clamps. Tool lists differ between kits, so use the manufacturer's sheet for this specific application before starting.
