The UrQ intake "boot" is actually an aluminum piece.  The whole
air flow metering unit is actually installed "backwards" compared
to the NA cars.  As for why it is so, my guess is because that was
the first (and only) production Audi with a turbocharged I5 in the
type 85 chassis, and that's the way Audi made everything fit.
