Tiguan MST Performance Induction Kit - 2.0 TSI (Tiguan R)

Upgrade the airflow and responsiveness of your Tiguan R with this MST Performance induction kit, specifically designed for EA888 Gen 4 EVO 2.0 TSI engines. This intake system replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow performance intake that allows the turbocharger to draw air more efficiently.

By combining a large high-flow nanofibre filter with a powder-coated intake pipe and heat shield, this system helps reduce airflow restriction before the turbocharger. The result is improved throttle response, enhanced turbo induction sound and increased airflow capacity for tuned engines.

This version is designed specifically for right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles, ensuring correct fitment within the engine bay layout.

What This Kit Does & How It Works

The factory intake system is designed primarily to reduce engine noise and meet emissions requirements. This often results in restrictive airflow before it reaches the turbocharger.

This MST performance induction kit improves airflow by replacing the factory intake with:

• A large high-flow red pleated nanofibre filter

• A black powder-coated intake pipe for improved airflow

• A heat shield assembly designed to protect the filter from engine bay heat

The heat shield helps direct cooler air into the intake while isolating the filter from hot engine air, allowing the turbocharger to operate more efficiently.

Performance Benefits

• Improved airflow to the turbocharger

• Sharper throttle response

• Increased turbo and induction sound

• Reduced intake restriction compared to the factory airbox

• Supports improved airflow for tuned engines

Suitable for both standard and modified vehicles.

What’s Included

• Black powder-coated heat shield

• Black powder-coated intake pipe

• Red pleated nanofibre performance filter

• Silicone joiner

• Full fitting kit with step-by-step installation instructions

The dry pleated nanofibre filter is easy to maintain while providing excellent airflow and filtration.

Vehicle Fitment – EA888 Gen 4 EVO (RHD Models Only)

Volkswagen Tiguan R (AD/BW)

2.0 TSI

This induction kit is currently available only for right-hand drive vehicles due to differences in engine bay layout between RHD and LHD models.

Engine Summary

Engine Family: EA888 Gen 4 EVO
Engine Size: 2.0 TSI
Fuel Type: Turbocharged petrol
Platform: MQB EVO

Why Upgrade the Tiguan R Intake System?

Turbocharged engines benefit significantly from improved intake airflow. The factory airbox can restrict airflow, limiting turbocharger efficiency and responsiveness.

By installing a high-flow performance intake, the turbocharger can draw air more efficiently, improving engine response and producing a stronger induction sound.

Ideal for:

• Remapped vehicles

• Drivers wanting stronger induction sound

• Performance builds requiring improved airflow

A straightforward bolt-on upgrade that enhances both engine responsiveness and driving enjoyment.
