Mishimoto Performance Air Intake Kit - Volkswagen Golf GTI/R (MK7) / Audi A3/S3 (8V)
Mishimoto has built a reputation on engineering intake and cooling components that outperform factory parts without sacrificing reliability. This kit was developed specifically for the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R, using flow bench testing and 3D modelling to extract more airflow from the turbocharged EA888 engine without the heat soak issues that plague cheaper aftermarket intakes.
This listing covers the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R (MK7), along with the Audi A3 and S3 (8V), all fitted with the Gen 3 EA888 turbocharged engine. The kit is a complete bolt-on replacement for the factory airbox and retains provisions for the factory secondary air injection (SAI) system, so no additional modification is required for a proper fit.
Key Features
- Rotationally moulded thermoplastic airbox for reduced heat soak and long term durability
- Reduces intake restriction by 51.7% compared to the factory airbox
- Dyno proven gains of up to 3.93 kW (5.27 HP) and 12.5 Nm (9.23 lb-ft) on a stock tuned MK7 GTI
- High flow oiled air filter with 52% more surface area than the factory panel filter
- Retains factory SAI system provisions
- Complete bolt-on kit, no permanent modifications required
- Backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty
