The ram-air design and performance features translate into big power gains. This intake system performs great with upgraded ECU Software or upgraded turbochargers. Stage 2 software yielded greater than 25 Horsepower with the addition of the IE intake. Below is a dyno chart provided by Iroz Motorsport in a 3rd party test.
DESIGN FEATURES
CARBON FIBER CONSTRUCTION
Carbon Fiber air intakes not only look great but they also have a key performance advantage of being less heat absorbent. By absorbing less heat intake air temperatures remain cooler than other common construction materials such as sheet metal heat shields and aluminum piping.
HIGH-FLOW VELOCITY STACK
Utilizing a velocity stack design like that found in professional Motorsports, this efficiently channels air as quickly as possible to the turbocharger and engine. The velocity stack also functions as a solid mount for the massive air filter keeping it in securely in place.
RAM AIR DESIGN
The ram-air design ensures that as much air is forced into the intake system as possible. The intake achieves this by feeding cold air in from the front of the car. The front scoop of the IE intake system spans the entire width of the grille collecting all available air. While producing an intake of this size is expensive, it results in the highest performing product.
A large diameter 4-inch carbon inlet pipe ensures unrestricted airflow into the turbocharger. This large diameter pipe replaces the substantially smaller factory inlet pipe, allowing the engine to breathe properly.
MASSIVE AIR FILTER
IE engineers incorporated the largest filter possible. In addition to the sheer size, the frontal area of the air filter incorporates a pleated inverted cone which results in more air induction.
VENTED BOTTOM PLATE
For additional flow, the access panel for the air filter features a series of louvres designed to deliver a completely unrestricted supply of air to the intake for any horsepower level. This works in conjunction with the front ram-air design creating a duo of options for unrestricted air supply to ensure you always have full power potential for any turbocharger or ECU tune stage. -Power is in the details!
Vented plate design increases flow by 7.92% (CFM) over a solid plate!
PROTECTIVE HEAT SHIELD
In order to further keep your intake air cooler and protect the high-quality finish of your carbon fiber, a stylish heatshield is included with your intake. This heatshield features bends to wrap it around the inlet and sits between the carbon pipe and turbocharger at their closest and hottest point.
A PERFECT FIT
Installation of your new intake can typically be completed in about an hour using basic tools. Be sure to read the install instructions in entirety before starting the process. As a pro tip, keep in mind that carbon fiber scratches easily (especially if tools are dropped on it). CLICK HERE to view and download the install guide.
EASY INSTALL WITH TURBO INLETS
The intake will fit directly to either your stock turbo or IE inlet pipe with no modifications. For the ultimate combination of intake flow, it is also a direct fit with IE's Cast Turbo Inlet Pipe IEINCQ2 (sold separately).
If you are installing along with a non-IE brand 4" sized turbo inlet pipe, an optional silicone adapter kit IEINCQ1-19 (sold separately) is also available to make your install easy .
2019+ MODEL YEARS
2019 and newer model year engines are equipped with a new style diverter valve housing that is non-compatible with the native intake design. Installing an aftermarket intake on all newer configurations requires the additional IE Diverter Valve Adapter Kit (IEINCQ1-16) for installation (sold separately). If your RS model is year 2019 or newer, make sure to add both the intake and adapter to your cart before ordering.

Excellent monitor, return of first defective one was a breeze.
The first monitor that I received displayed tearing, flickering, and artifacts at 144hz refresh, using an RTX5080 Nvidia graphics card when playing Il2-Sturmovik at highest graphic settings. I thought I would give Crua another chance and requested a replacement. Amazon sent me a new monitor immediately which arrived 2 days later. I simply swapped out the screen and returned the defective monitor in the box the replacement was sent in. It was painless.
I have had the new monitor for a couple of weeks and it has been flawless. Great color, sharp image, no dead pixels, stable at 160hz refresh. I cant vouch for its longevity yet, but I will give an update after 6 months or so.
Otherwise, this is the best monitor for the money that I have found in its class, and has made an impressive improvement to my setup.

Surprising quality, great for work
Size: 34 Inch, Size: 34 Inch
I know this is advertised as a gaming monitor, but I decided to get a large, wide monitor for long work hours to replace my two 27 inch monitors. It has just enough width that you can easily split the screen and work side-by-side. It is genuinely helped my neck pain since my posture is staying straight. There is no lag in the monitor and it has a pretty good design. Nice and thin, sleek. The amount on the back of it was a little strange, but I figured it out. The only thing I don’t like about this monitor is you cannot adjust the height up and down and it does not tilt but for the price I can live with that. It does give you the option to mount on a wall, which is nice. This might be a me problem, but it didn’t want to register with my thunderbolt docking station. I ended up needing to plug it directly into the laptop, which is an ideal. Haven’t figured out if that’s the monitor operation or if I need to connect it in a different way. Overall, this is a great value for the money.

Very poor delivery and unboxing experience
Size: 34, Size: 34
2/12/26 Shipping was beyond poor. Amazon packaged this in a oversized box with no padding. Monitor box inside was damaged, but product seems ok. I was initially going to return and left a scathing feedback review for amazon delivery being beyond poor, when I requested a call there service kept hanging up on me. Shame on you Amazon, unfortunately I am removing one star for that. Now onto the real review...
Monitor is sharp with no dead pixels, however the protective film is weird. So weird I thought I had received a used product, when I went to peel the film the sticker ripped and I had to carefully inspect to discover there was actually film and not someone pulling one over on amazon on a return. One star removed for that horrible film experience, it was very jarring. There is no height adjustment only tilt, which is fine nothing unexpected there. Stand is actually quality and is a Metal Injection Molding (MIM) material which is impressive for the price, not weighted plastic like some of the higher end brands. I like that there is no horrible blue light signaling the monitor is on, but that can be a turn off for some as the black levels of monitor can confuse someone into thinking it is not working. However if you are a photographer or a gamer this is a huge plus. Kudus to CRUA for doing that.
I will update review upon testing to see if product needs less stars or if amazon wants to chime in on their part in this experience to add stars back. CRUA get on amazon so you can be a solid 4 stars! At this point I would recommend, but beware the film.

CRUA delivers in price and panel quality, but stumbles in build quality
If they could just solve their quality control issues then this might be one of the best monitors I have purchased for the price it is offered at. Major monitor brands should be absolutely ashamed that this comes within striking quality of monitors are 3-6x its price.
My only advice to anyone else looking to buy this is to get an extended warranty for it because CRUA does have serious quality control issues and weak components. But the actual panel, colors, etc are way above the asking price. I am absolutely floored.

This monitor is spectacular for the price. I am very pleased with it.
Size: 27 Inch
It arrived in tact and has zero blemishes or dead pixels. That's saying something when you have this many pixels too.
The Freesync works great, it's fairly bright and the colors are amazing. They need to be detuned quite a lot since the gamut is way higher than most content is created for. Gaming is fantastic.
I do not seem to have the advertised 1080P high FPS mode though. Perhaps they crossed up some of the promotional information for a different model. Still, I am very much enjoying 160Hz at 4k. I am playing through games again just to see them so clearly, and that's going from a 2k monitor of the same size. This display is superior.
I wish the power button that's modeled to look like a joystick actually was one, don't be caught off guard by that. It's just a button. I knew that when I bought it but still. Kinda... iffy to make it look like one.
I mounted the monitor on an arm. It weighs very little so it was easy. I never used the included stand, but it's very sturdy and I love that is flips vertically too. The headphone jack works nicely for my powered speakers and it switches between display port and HDMI correctly. My last monitor had to be restarted each time I went back to Display Port to get audio back.
This monitor at the price I paid is insanely good. I'd been waiting for years for a good 4K panel with high refresh rate at 27". By far my favorite monitor size. I have zero intention of changing or upgrading from this panel until μLED is finally available.
If this panel dies, I will get another until then.
