The following chart demonstrates an impressive gain in flow over the factory air box. With the Sound Door installed, gains of up to 15% are achieved. With the Sound Door not installed the air flow gains exceed 16%.
CARBON TURBO INLET PIPE KIT
The IE carbon fiber inlet pipe puts the finishing touches on your engine bay, taking the same carbon fiber look of the intake all the way to the turbo. This carbon pipe completely replaces the factory plastic pipe resulting in a show-ready finished look. The IE Turbo Inlet Pipe connects to IE Carbon Fiber Intake System with a custom-designed silicone hump hose allowing engine movement under load without adding any stress to the intake components.
DESIGN DETAILS
Our engineers set out to develop the best performing Carbon Fiber Intake System for MQB, MK7, & 8V vehicles. The latest in computer design software and engineering tools ensure maximum performance and perfect fitment.
INCREASED AIR FLOW
Our engineers spared no expense developing this intake system to ensure it is never outperformed by others on the market. The large internal volume, velocity stack, wide inlet, and 45-degree angle of the filter result in the highest flowing closed element intake system tested on the market.
OPTIONAL SOUND DOOR
The Sound Door included in the intake kit allows for adjustment of intake sounds to suit your personal taste. Leave the plate in for a highway cruiser or remove it to unleash the growl of your engine!
MOTORSPORT DESIGN
Substantial gains are achieved by the large airbox internal volume and velocity stack which accelerates the rate that air enters the intake system. Your driving experience is improved with additional horsepower and torque, enhanced throttle response, and a sporty sound to top it off.
PERFORMANCE AIR FILTER
A large 5 inch IE cone air filter is designed for use with the carbon velocity stack. This long-life filter reduces the amount of air restriction found with smaller cone-shaped or panel filters.

DO YOU NEED AN SAI KIT?
Your VW/Audi Gen 3 2.0T or 1.8T engine may have come factory equipped with a secondary air injection (SAI) pump. Engines with SAI require an IE SAI Filter Adapter Kit for this SAI line when installing an aftermarket intake. Engines not equipped with this SAI pump do not require this filter kit. Identify if your engine requires an SAI filter kit using the photos below and add it to your cart above if needed when ordering your intake.

EASY INSTALLATION
Install can typically be completed in about an hour using basic tools. Be sure to read the install instructions in entirety before starting the process. As a pro tip, keep in mind that carbon fiber scratches easily (especially if tools are dropped on it).
