G7 MST Performance Air Filter - 2.0 TSI

Upgrade your intake performance with this MST Performance replacement air filter, designed as a direct replacement for the standard foam filter used in the R600 intake system fitted to many EA888-powered VAG vehicles.

This high-flow dry pleated nanofibre filter provides improved airflow compared with the standard foam filter, helping the turbocharger draw air more efficiently. The result is improved throttle response, enhanced induction sound and better airflow into the turbo system.

The filter is designed as a direct-fit replacement, allowing it to be installed quickly without modification to the intake system.

What This Filter Upgrade Does

Standard foam filters can restrict airflow as engine demand increases, especially on tuned vehicles.

This MST replacement filter improves performance by providing:

• High-flow dry pleated filter media with increased airflow capacity

• Improved filtration surface area for efficient airflow and filtration

• Reusable design that is easy to maintain and clean

When installed in an R600 intake system, the filter helps increase airflow to the turbocharger while maintaining excellent filtration performance.

Dyno testing has shown potential gains of around 5–7bhp, depending on the vehicle and supporting modifications.

Performance Benefits

• Increased airflow compared with standard foam filters

• Improved throttle response

• Enhanced turbo and induction sound

• Potential 5–7bhp gains depending on vehicle setup

• Reusable and easy to maintain dry filter design

• Direct replacement for R600 intake systems

What’s Included

• Red dry pleated performance air filter

• Black powder-coated inlet pipe

• Full fitting kit with installation instructions
