G7,G8 Performance Foam Induction Kit - 2.0 TSI (GTi)

Upgrade your EA888 2.0 TSI/TFSI engine with this 80mm Ramair Performance Intake Kit, designed specifically for high-output MQB Evo applications including the Golf Mk8 GTI and Golf R.

Featuring an enlarged 80mm intake diameter, high-flow foam filter and smooth black silicone intake pipe, this system delivers improved airflow, sharper throttle response and a far more aggressive induction tone compared to the restrictive factory airbox.

What This Intake Kit Does

The factory intake system is engineered primarily for refinement and emissions compliance. On performance models such as the GTI and R, this can limit airflow — particularly under heavy load or on tuned vehicles.

This Ramair system improves performance by:

• Increasing intake diameter to 80mm
• Replacing the restrictive OE airbox with a high-surface-area foam filter
• Using smooth-bore black silicone pipework to reduce turbulence
• Improving airflow consistency into the turbocharger

The result is:

• Sharper throttle response

• Faster turbo spool

• Improved mid-range pull

• Stronger high-RPM breathing

• Enhanced induction and turbo sound

Ideal for standard, Stage 1 and Stage 2 tuned vehicles.

How It Works

The EA888 turbocharged engine relies on efficient airflow to generate boost. Restriction before the turbo inlet reduces responsiveness.

By upgrading to an 80mm intake system:

1. A greater volume of air reaches the turbo inlet.

2. Pressure drop before the compressor is reduced.

3. Boost builds more efficiently.

4. Throttle response becomes more immediate and consistent.

The included black powder-coated heatshield helps shield the filter from engine bay heat, supporting stable intake temperatures during performance driving.

The Ramair foam filter is fully reusable and can be cleaned using CK-003 filter maintenance kit, ensuring long-term durability.
