Cold Air Intake for Audi A3 / S3 TSI EA888 Evo4 (2009-2013) 2.0L Engine

Performance Cold Air Intake System for Audi & Volkswagen (2007–2018) 2.0L TSI – Power & Sound

Unlock the full potential of your Audi or Volkswagen’s induction system with this precision-engineered Performance Cold Air Intake Kit. Specifically developed for the 2.0L TSI turbocharged engine family, this system replaces the restrictive factory air box with a mandrel-bent 6063 aluminum intake tube and a dedicated heat shield. This optimization results in sharper throttle response and stronger acceleration, while unlocking a deeper, more aggressive turbo intake sound that you can hear and feel.

This intake is designed for drivers seeking a functional performance upgrade that maintains the refined drivability and mechanical reliability of the TSI platform. The system utilizes a large, high-flow washable filtration media and a durable black powder-coated aluminum tube to ensure the engine receives a consistent supply of cooler, oxygen-rich air. By isolating the filter from engine bay heat and reducing intake restriction, this kit allows the turbocharger to spool faster and improves mid-range power delivery.
