TDI & TSI EA888 Gen.3 MQB upgrade Air duct with TÜV

Our developed air duct for all vehicles on MQB platform replaces the original air collector in direct exchange and provides a more direct flow to the air filter box. With the OEM air collector, the intake air must flow through two pointless 90 degree bends to reach the air filter box. This increases the pressure loss enormously. Therefore we decided to develop a direct air duct to get more performance out of your vehicles. Feature Reduction of pressure loss Minimization of turbulence Improved throttle response Increases air mass in the intake area Delivers more cold air Streamlined geometry Increase in power and torque Relief of the axial bearing of the turbocharger More homogeneous flow to the turbocharger Minimization of stalls and turbulences Change in intake noise (turbo whistle becomes clearly audible) The guide is CFD flow-optimized and its cross-section has been enlarged by approx. 60 %. A performance measurement on an already optimized Golf 7 R showed a faster torque build-up and from approx. 4000 rpm up to 5 HP more power. We recommend to remove the snow guard below the air filter element. Our air duct is replaced in exchange for the original air collector, plug and play.
