Under high boost, this dense media induces significant intake depression, forcing twin turbochargers to work harder to pull air volume. Over time, surface particulate blinding further restricts mass air flow, elevating intake air temperatures and reducing mass flow efficiency across the mid-to-high RPM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to racing tolerances, the \u003cstrong\u003eFB01080\u003c\/strong\u003e filter utilizes low-viscosity oiled multi-layer cotton gauze media sandwiched between epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This architecture allows a substantially higher volume of laminar airflow compared to stock paper, capturing particulates down to 7 microns without choking induction velocity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is constructed using BMC's proprietary \"Full Moulding\" process—a single-shot polyurethane mold without glued seams—preventing structural deformation, vacuum collapse, and perimeter unfiltered bypass under high manifold depression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilters per kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e675mm x 126mm panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBMC FB01080\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; OEM Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits the following vehicles (BMC fitment data):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Continental 4.0 V8 GT (549 HP) | 2019-2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Continental 6.0 W12 GT (635 HP) | 2018-2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Continental 6.0 W12 GT Speed (659 HP) | 2021-2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Flying Spur 2.9 Hybrid (544 HP) | 2021-2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Flying Spur 6.0 W12 (635 HP) | 2019-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Flying Spur 6.0 W12 Speed (635 HP) | 2022-2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Continental 4.0 V8 GT Speed (782 HP) | 2024+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Flying Spur 4.0 V8 (550 HP) | 2020-2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Flying Spur 4.0 V8 Speed (782 HP) | 2024+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Continental 4.0 V8 GT Azure \/ S Hybrid (680 HP) | 2025+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBentley Flying Spur 4.0 V8 Azure \/ S Hybrid (671 HP) | 2025+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference (BMC):\u003c\/strong\u003e BENTLEY 3SA129620A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the 3S Continental GT and ZG2 Flying Spur?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eEA825\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.0T V8 and 6.0T W12 powertrains.
