AMS Performance 80mm Air Intakes – 2016-2024 Infiniti Q50 / 2017-2022 Infiniti Q60 | VR30DDTT

Feed your VR30DDTT’s twin turbos with the unrestricted airflow they demand with the AMS Performance 80mm Air Intakes — a direct upgrade over the factory 70mm intake tubes for the 2016–2024 Infiniti Q50 and 2017–2022 Infiniti Q60. AMS Performance’s 80mm intake tubes increase the internal diameter of the intake path from the factory 70mm to 80mm, reducing intake restriction and improving airflow volume to both turbos. A foundational upgrade for any VR30DDTT build — from a bolt-on Stage 1 setup to a full built-motor high-boost application.

Key Features:

• 80mm intake tubes — increased from the factory 70mm diameter for reduced restriction and improved airflow volume to the VR30DDTT’s twin turbos
• Q50 and Q60 compatible — fits the 2016–2024 Infiniti Q50 and 2017–2022 Infiniti Q60 VR30DDTT applications
• Direct replacement — replaces the factory intake tubes for a clean, integrated installation
• AMS Performance engineering — designed and developed by one of the most respected names in VR30DDTT performance
• Foundational upgrade — a critical component for any VR30DDTT build seeking improved airflow and power output

Performance Benefits:

• Reduced Intake Restriction: The factory VR30DDTT intake tubes measure 70mm in internal diameter — a restriction that becomes increasingly significant as boost pressure and airflow demands increase with power upgrades. AMS’s 80mm tubes increase the cross-sectional area of the intake path by approximately 31%, reducing restriction and allowing the turbos to draw air more freely
• Improved Turbo Response: Reduced intake restriction allows the turbos to spool more freely, improving turbo response and reducing the pressure differential across the intake system that can limit peak boost and power output
• Increased Airflow Capacity: The larger 80mm diameter provides greater airflow capacity for high-boost and high-power VR30DDTT builds where the factory 70mm tubes become a meaningful restriction — supporting higher power levels without the intake system becoming a bottleneck
• Complementary to Other Upgrades: 80mm intake tubes work in conjunction with upgraded turbos, intercoolers, downpipes, and tune to maximize the VR30DDTT’s power potential — a foundational upgrade that supports the rest of the build

Specifications:

• Brand: AMS Performance
• Part Number: ALP.28.08.0003-1
• Intake Tube Diameter: 80mm (factory: 70mm)
• Application: 2016–2024 Infiniti Q50 / 2017–2022 Infiniti Q60 — VR30DDTT engine
• Fitment: Direct replacement for factory intake tubes

Fitment Information:

• 2016–2024 Infiniti Q50 — VR30DDTT 3.0T twin-turbo V6 (300hp and 400hp variants)
• 2017–2022 Infiniti Q60 — VR30DDTT 3.0T twin-turbo V6 (300hp and 400hp variants)
• Note: Verify your specific model year and engine variant before ordering. Confirm compatibility with your existing intake and turbo inlet configuration.
• Installation: Professional installation recommended
• Tune: A tune is recommended to maximize the benefit of the 80mm intake upgrade, particularly on modified VR30DDTT builds

What’s Included:

• AMS Performance 80mm air intake tubes — complete set (both sides, left and right)
• Mounting hardware and clamps
• Installation instructions

Installation Notes:

• Professional installation recommended
• Verify all connections are secure and clamps are properly tightened before starting the engine
• Check for boost leaks after installation — any loose connection between the intake and turbo inlet will cause boost loss and potential lean conditions
• A tune is recommended to maximize the benefit of the upgrade, particularly on modified builds

Why 80mm Intakes for the VR30DDTT?

The factory Infiniti VR30DDTT intake system uses 70mm diameter intake tubes to feed air to each of the twin turbos. At stock power levels, the 70mm tubes are adequate — but as boost pressure increases and airflow demands grow with power upgrades (larger turbos, upgraded intercoolers, aggressive tunes), the factory 70mm tubes become an increasingly significant restriction. The cross-sectional area of an 80mm tube is approximately 31% larger than a 70mm tube — a meaningful increase in airflow capacity that reduces the pressure differential across the intake system and allows the turbos to draw air more freely. For any VR30DDTT build targeting meaningful power increases beyond the factory output, 80mm intake tubes are a foundational upgrade that supports the rest of the build’s airflow requirements.

The VR30DDTT Platform:

The Infiniti VR30DDTT is a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine used in the Q50 and Q60, producing 300hp in standard trim and 400hp in the Red Sport 400 variant. The VR30DDTT has become one of the most popular platforms for performance tuning in the luxury sport sedan and coupe segment — with a strong aftermarket ecosystem of turbo upgrades, intercoolers, intakes, downpipes, and supporting modifications. AMS Performance is one of the most respected names in VR30DDTT development, with a comprehensive lineup of performance components developed through extensive dyno and track testing on the platform.

Why AMS Performance?

AMS Performance has been producing high-performance turbo and engine components since 1998, with a strong focus on turbocharged import platforms. Their VR30DDTT product lineup is one of the most comprehensive in the market — developed through extensive testing and real-world performance validation. AMS’s 80mm intake tubes are engineered specifically for the Q50/Q60 VR30DDTT application, ensuring correct fitment, proper sealing, and compatibility with the rest of the AMS VR30DDTT performance ecosystem.

Perfect For:

• 2016–2024 Infiniti Q50 and 2017–2022 Q60 VR30DDTT owners building beyond stock power levels
• VR30DDTT Stage 2+ builds running upgraded turbos, intercoolers, and aggressive tunes where intake airflow is a limiting factor
• Q50/Q60 builds seeking a foundational intake upgrade that supports higher power levels and complements other performance modifications
• Red Sport 400 builds maximizing the VR30DDTT’s twin-turbo potential with a complete AMS Performance intake system
• Anyone building a serious VR30DDTT who wants AMS Performance’s proven 80mm intake engineering

Pro Tip: Pair with AMS Performance turbo inlet pipes for a complete, matched intake system upgrade. The intake tubes and turbo inlets work together as a system — upgrading both eliminates all factory intake restrictions between the air filter and the turbo compressor inlet for maximum airflow improvement.

Note: A tune is recommended after installation, particularly on modified builds. Verify all intake connections are secure and check for boost leaks before driving.
