Integrated Engineering MQB 1.8T/2.0T Gen 3 Cold Air Intake

The Integrated Engineering IE Cold Air Intake Kit V2 (IEINCI11) is engineered for enhanced performance in VW MK7 and Audi 8V 1.8T/2.0T (gen 3) engines. It is designed to deliver an impressive boost of up to 15 horsepower and 13 ft-lbs of torque, particularly when coupled with a turbo inlet upgrade, yielding a remarkable 67% increase in airflow. Constructed with genuine motorsport features, this intake system includes 3.5" black powder-coated aluminum piping, a full-width heat shield for efficient heat dissipation, a high-flow velocity stack, and a large 5" filter. The modular design allows for the addition of an optional carbon fiber or poly lid, enhancing both the appearance and thermal insulation of the engine bay. The intake utilizes factory airbox mounts for a perfect fitment and includes a stealth coolant line at no extra cost. Stainless-steel hardware ensures durability. Installation is designed to be straightforward, with IE engineers utilizing advanced 3D scanning and software to ensure precise fitment that mimics factory-installed units. The kit is fully inclusive, meaning no additional parts or trips to the hardware store are necessary. It is compatible with or without Secondary Air Injection (SAI), with a plug included for models that do not have SAI. The intake also adds an aggressive motorsport turbo and engine sound. Important fitment notes include: The system does not fit Audi A3 engines equipped with a MAF sensor, commonly found in FWD models. VW Arteon models are not compatible with the optional Carbon Fiber lid without washer filler neck relocation, and they require the IE Turbo Inlet Pipe upgrade, which is sold separately. Intakes purchased before April 5th, 2021, are not CARB compliant and do not legally qualify for a CARB sticker.
