Blaze Performance

Hello Maylasia

Stage 1 - AToM Race RS for 8V / 8Y RS3 and 8S TTRS.

This is the first unit on a 8Y RS3 which along with the customers other forged carbon details has really hit the mark. He also added the black pipe clamps which rounds out the look, keeping things looking neat and flowing.

Available for pre-order in Forged carbon, Matt and Gloss twill Carbon.

Riaz and team Stealth getting some incredible results with ecutek and a 2.0L engine. Nice work fellas.

Fellow South Africans in New Zealand doing their thing.

The two fastest MQB EA888.3 cars at Singapore's Sepang Circuit run Blaze Performance AToM RACE V2.

Chatting to Ben Lowe and Julian P**n gives great insight into the difference the AToM Race V2 has made to their track weapons.

The proof is on the road.... and track.... BLAZE PERFORMANCE ATOM RACE V2

.tsi is in Italy with a limited edition Cupra (just 799 made). His car runs an APR DTR6054 and he has upgraded his Racingline R600 with the Blaze Performance 4inch upgrade with our APR specific fl**ge that eliminates the restrictive elbow that comes with the DTR6054.

Gigi was over the moon with his extra throttle response and increased power across the RPM. This kit allows for that OEM look that the Racingline R600 is known for, without the restriction of the smaller filter.

Thanks for sharing .tsi.

Grabbed these pics off the MTR Page and had to share. Because I am a TTS owner and Blaze Performance how can I not be proud of this achievement by all involved.

Damn that TT looks amazing.

The best part? Watching you all get your goals with our intakes in support. Honored and humbled.

10.1 on a stock block, come on! Check out that 60ft.

getting a bump up the timing sheets.

I appreciate the support man. 🙏

NOOOO, I am not now Audi Biased, it's just that Darth Vader, Batman , Dark Night looking Audi is something else to behold.

For 2024 onwards KZN folks will be able to get their Dragy timing gear directly from Blaze Performance HQ... So you can see exactly the performance gain unleashed by the AToM Race.

CROXX MOTORSPORT in HK have got you covered with your Blaze Performance intakes.

Loving the new creases, adds character to the flat surfaces.

The matt carbon version with matt silicone hose for that understated look, this pre-production model without logos adding to the understatement.

For me, the gloss just pops way more, and shows the lines a lot better. The white logos also help break up the carbon.

But this is about what you want!?

Finally, AToM Race Carbon.

This is the final product, save a few tweeks on the branding.

The AToM Race Carbon will be available in gloss and matt carbon and the first units will be available end February.

The case will be sold on its own, initially as a pre-order only, as we ramp up production.

Pricing will be announced in the coming week.

A little about the base we starting with,

Model: Audi TTS
Year: 2016, Mileage: 68800kms.

The TTS is essentially a Golf 7R in a TT body, it has the EA888.3, DQ 250, along with an IS3, and a drive train that is in line with the Golf 7R and 8V S3. I am lead to believe that it is lighter but have not found the data to back it up.

This car came with a downpipe, and MRC Stage 2 software (don't worry it wasn't driven in anger at any stage thus far). The car hasn't been dynoed or logged and this is where we start putting the plan together.

The car will get an intake and an intercooler among its first mods followed by fueling and ethanol mods to Max out this IS38.
Naturally we will do before and after dyno runs, as each component is added and data logging to validate further.

I would love your input as well, if there anything we need to add to testing and as belt and braces to give us the most reliable IS38 power.

Thoughts about: Plugs, coils, suspension, chassis bracing, brakes, engine mounts, etc etc.

What's the most practical IS38 recipe? Feel free to pitch in.

My Mod Life Crisis

You will know, thus far, I have lived vicariously  through you all.  Watching, supporting, marveling and reveling in the cars you pour your energy and heart into.  My passion for your cars and individualism, has not been something I have been shy about, happily shouting from the roof when the need hits. 

Now, after 7 years in the car wilderness, I find myself in the drivers seat of a car that excites my senses, for the potential it holds and promise I get to make to myself, and to you about where we will go with this. 

Meet the AToM Racer, an ode to the product that has given me so much and a dedication to chipping in from my side whatever I can in the way of pushing the envelope and providing information and assistance to any and everyone who needs it. 

I plan to sink myself deep into this Audi TTS, figuring out the nuances, finding ways to make things the best that they can be while remaining practical and viable for the masses. 

We will build together, test together, race together, learn and succeed together.   I will mess up, you will call me out on it, I will succeed you will rejoice with me, I will not quit, you will hold me accountable, together this is going to be epic and fun. 

So thank you for the 700hp builds, for the 0.1sec time shaving efforts, for the track times, for the drag times, for the finely height adjusted coil overs, for the perfectly aligned carbon hoods, for the clean engine bays, for the hood exits, for the flame throwers, the burbles, the roars through the tunnels, for the bigger manifolds and even bigger turbos, for the engine on engine hoists, for the cars on roll backs, for your verve, for your dedication, for your tenacity and imagination and for your never say die attitude.  

I have watched, been inspired and now I am with you.   Let's do this!

Lest you forget, we made our intakes compatible with almost every variation of turbo on the market, why?

Cos you asked us to!

The Blaze Performance AToM RACE V2 turbo inlet pipe is a single piece that runs from intake to turbo, bypassing the smaller turbo elbows that shipped with you upgraded turbo.

We make a direct connection from intake to turbo face and we ensure it's a perfect match for the perfect flow.

On turbos without fl**ges, eg. EQT Typhoon, TTV5, we offer a direct coupling silicone hose that Clamps onto the turbo inlet.

You asked, we covered you.

Known turbo compatibilities:

IS12/20/38
IS 38 HYBRID
EQT turbo range
APR DTR6054
RAC turbo range
Garret Powermax range
Cpi turbo range
Stallion turbo range
Mabo Turbos
TTV5
Turbo Systems

More 8R news, the Racingline R600 upgrade has been sorted with a test fit to this reaction unit car being the final proof of concept.

With the kind of power these cars are making with a tune, a 4inch upgrade will be a much needed thing.

That AToM R8CE just few weeks away from launch.

What's everyones thoughts on Matt Silicone? With the Carbon Option imminent, we are playing around with ideas to complete the look.

Congratulations to who got great traction, cutting a 1.51 60ft and teetering to close to that 9. With his analytical mind and understanding the gaps, you have to think 9s are on the cards soon.

The AToM Race V2 has been included in many a fast car this past year. This TT by UGP has been an inspiration for what this platform, even in it's bargain basement form, can achieve.

Bryce Jordan Productions great video as always my man, thank you for the feedback. Picosito GTI, thanks for being a good friend and convincing him to do the right thing. 🤣

Thank you TPH - Built , we appreciate the support and patience while getting these parts ready for you.

Fun fact, the AToM was conceived and then evolved on the Mk 6 GTi more than a decade ago (2010) while trying to extract more pace at National Drags.

After being stuck at a 13.0 for a few events, we ran a time of 12.66 over the 1/4 mile with the intake being the major contributing factor.

These pics have been sitting since the evening before departing to the USA for SEMA.

The first Mk8R with an AToM R8CE. The kit on this car features the same intake cowl and housing as the AToM Race V2 from the MK7 but with a retooled intake pipe and turbo inlet fl**ge.

Since this fitment I have made further adjustments to the intake cowl, tweaked the inlet hose and will be including a bonnet shock as part of the kit. I expect to be able to have these available for sale in the next three weeks internationally with sales in South Africa starting mid to end January 24.

As for the car, the Mk8R is just stunning and like I found at SEMA, you cannot capture the beauty of a car on camera, or at least I cannot.

This thing in the metal is just something to behold and the fact that this one was bagged with just the right amount of add-ons made it really stand out.

thank you for the referral sir.
