Unlock enhanced airflow, sharper throttle response, and an aggressive induction sound with this Open Air Intake System — designed specifically for MQB platform vehicles including the Volkswagen MK7, MK7.5, MK8 GTI and Audi 8V A3/S3.
Engineered to replace the restrictive factory airbox, this intake system maximises airflow directly into the turbocharger, allowing your EA888 engine to breathe more efficiently and perform at its full potential. The open design not only improves performance but also delivers a deep, pronounced intake sound under acceleration — transforming the driving experience.
Built using high-quality materials and precision-fit components, this system ensures reliable performance, clean fitment, and long-term durability whether you are running a stock vehicle or a tuned setup.
Key Features
Open Air Intake Design
The exposed filter and open housing design allow for unrestricted airflow, significantly improving intake efficiency compared to the factory airbox.
Enhanced Induction Sound
Produces a louder, more aggressive turbo intake noise, delivering noticeable spool, suction, and diverter valve sounds under load.
Improved Airflow & Performance
Increases the volume of air entering the turbocharger, supporting gains in throttle response and overall engine efficiency — especially beneficial for tuned vehicles.
High-Quality Air Filter
Features a performance air filter designed for optimal filtration and airflow balance, ensuring engine protection while maximising performance.
Precision Fitment
Designed specifically for MQB platforms, ensuring a straightforward installation with OEM-like fitment and compatibility.
Performance Benefits
Upgrading to an open air intake allows your turbocharger to operate more efficiently by reducing airflow restriction. This results in quicker turbo spool, improved throttle response, and a more engaging driving experience.
While power gains on a stock vehicle are modest, the intake becomes significantly more effective when paired with supporting modifications such as a turbo inlet, downpipe, and ECU tune.
