IE Air Intake System
You VW MK8 GTI factory airbox is a highly restrictive design that suppresses power and engine sound.

STYLE POINTS
Elevate your style with iE's optional high-gloss carbon fiber lid that spans the entire length of your intake. This simple upgrade completely transforms the look of your engine bay, giving it a high-end, show-stopping appearance.
The iE Carbon Fiber Lid is sold separately!
RAM AIR
The massive inlet spans the entire length of the front clip, serving two important functions. The length shields the fresh air supply from power-robbing radiant heat, while the massive scoop channels high-pressure ambient air from the entire front grill. This full-width design ensures an endless and efficient supply of low-temperature airflow to your turbocharger.
CALL OF THE WILD
Throttle growls, turbo whistles, engine snarls—call it what you want. Our high-velocity bellmouth and free-flow design unmuzzles your engine with unique, satisfying notes and turbo sounds. Switch the radio off and smash the throttle pedal to conduct your own symphony of addictive engine noise.
UNIFIED FLOW
With this adaptable design, you’re good to go for future turbo upgrades. Because this is a single-piece turbo inlet, there’s no need for silicone couplers. That means fewer transitions and less power-robbing turbulence. With the included turbo adapter, you’ll get great flow without buying another inlet to complete your intake system. Install is a snap, just three clamps.
HIGH VELOCITY
Lifted from the pages of professional race engineering, iE's built-in velocity stack bellmouth shape is designed to deliver huge gulps of air that flow efficiently from the 5" air filter surface area to the intake piping. This true motorsport design feature is built for maximum airflow with minimal drag and power-robbing turbulence.
DYNO TESTING
The restrictive stock intake limits the maximum potential horsepower and torque when tuning your MK8 2.0T engine. While large gains can be delivered on stock hardware with iE Stage 1 tuning, upgrading the intake and intercooler removes the hardware limitations for Stage 2 tuning, adding up to an impressive +17HP and +15ft-lbs of torque over Stage 1!
FLOW TESTING
In flow bench testing of iE’s intake versus the stock intake with small-diameter pipes, our intake took home the trophy (and it wasn’t even close) with consistent airflow gains of up to 22% more than stock!
HASSLE-FREE
i.e., has made the installation a piece of cake. Using 3D scanners to render a digital model of the engine bay, iE engineers ensure everything fits like a factory-installed part but with smarter-looking curves and angles. Then it’s onto real-world rapid prototyping for the finishing touches and snug fit with no snags. You’ll love it!
INSTALLATION
With factory-style mounting and an ultra-precise fitment, this intake pops into place without any guesswork or permanent modifications. It's easy breezy for any level of DIYer; you will need a few basic tools and your favorite garage playlist.
AVERAGE INSTALL TIME: 30-45 MINUTES
