Tiguan MST Performance Induction Air Intake System Kit - 2.0 TSI (Tiguan R)

Upgrade the airflow and induction performance of your turbocharged engine with this MST Performance roto-molded induction kit, designed specifically for EA888 Gen 4 EVO engines fitted to right-hand drive vehicles.

This intake system is the cross-linked roto-molded polyethylene version of the MST-VW-MK803, developed to replace the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow intake design that improves airflow into the turbocharger.

The system combines a high-flow dry pleated air filter, silicone intake pipe and cold-air scoop, helping deliver improved throttle response and a stronger induction sound. Dyno testing has shown potential gains of around 12–14bhp, depending on the vehicle and supporting modifications.

What This Intake System Does

Factory intake systems are designed to prioritise noise reduction and emissions compliance, which can restrict airflow before the turbocharger.

This MST intake improves airflow by replacing restrictive components with:

• Roto-molded intake housing that helps reduce heat soak

• High-flow silicone intake pipe for smoother airflow

• Red dry pleated nanofibre air filter with increased filtration surface area

• Cold-air intake scoop to guide cooler external air into the intake system

Together these components create a smoother airflow path into the turbocharger, improving engine response and producing a more aggressive induction sound.

Performance Benefits

• Increased airflow to the turbocharger

• Improved throttle response

• Enhanced turbo and induction sound

• Potential 12–14bhp gains depending on vehicle setup

• Reduced intake restriction compared with the factory airbox

• Suitable for both standard and tuned vehicles

What’s Included

• Black roto-molded heat shield / intake housing

• Black silicone intake pipe

• Red dry pleated performance air filter

• Black cold-air intake scoop

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

Why Upgrade the Intake System?

Turbocharged engines rely on a steady supply of cool, unrestricted air to maintain performance. The factory intake system can limit airflow before the turbocharger, particularly on higher-output engines.

This MST induction kit increases airflow using a larger intake path and high-flow filter, helping the turbocharger operate more efficiently while improving throttle response and induction sound.

Ideal for:

• Tiguan R performance upgrades

• Stage 1 and Stage 2 tuned vehicles

• Drivers seeking improved turbo response

• Enthusiasts wanting stronger induction sound
