At CTS Turbo we are proud to announce our new 3″ air intake system for the 1.8TSI and 2.0T Gen1 and Gen3 VW/Audi range of vehicles. This kit includes parts that make it compatible with both generations of TSI engines!
The air scoop works in conjunction with our sealed airbox to seamlessly force cold air into our 3″ air intake system. Air then flows through our high flow cone air filter, which utilizes an inverted cone design for maximum engine breathing. Our 3″ CNC mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe allows for smooth entry of cold air into the engine providing peak power gains ranging from 9-15WHP. By using a factory MAF housing (when equipped), you can be sure that fuel trims will remain perfect.
All of the components included in the CTS air intake system work flawlessly together to provide increased horsepower and torque throughout the entire power band and an aggressive race-inspired sound.
This intake kit is designed to be compatible with our TSI Gen1 BOSS kits; intake pipe features 2x 1/8NPT bungs for easy installation of BOSS kits.
Product Details:
GEN1 Fitment (EA888.1)
GEN3 Fitment (EA888.3 non-MQB)
Not for B-cycle engines, check your vehicle before ordering.
Does not fit Tiguan or Q3 or late MK6 models with Gen3 B-cycle aka Miller cycle engine.
Please confirm if your car requires a breather filter for the secondary injection system: look for the hose connected to the airbox behind the headlight.

So far so good, car sounds great no issues with install (SAI filter was hard to get on but otherwise all good) and the throttle response is noticably improved. Would highly recommend.

Perfect addition to my Mk6 GTI for a reasonable price. Only concern I have is with the acoustics of the intake at medium to high boost. After around 4k rpm’s, a high pitched whistle becomes apparent. Other than that, great increase to performance and sound. Additionally, make sure you receive your SAI Breather Filter if ordered. Did not receive mine first time around, but was easily resolved within a few hours.

Cool and sounds great. However did not come with a set of paper instructions and the sai cone filter was too large and does not mention it at all in the instructions

Fast shipping, great fitment, and sounds great. I have a 2016 Jetta 1.8L with mostly CTS parts and I can say they never disappoint.

The CTS-Turbo intake was one of the best bolt on upgrades I’ve gotten. Build quality is very nice. Overall finish looks really good in the engine bay. Best of all, the noise you get is amazing. Lots of Turbo spool and “blow off” noise. As for performance, I’m sure it flows a lot better than the stock intake. There’s a slight increase in low end spool, but really nothing noticeable.

Im on my second mk6 gti so far, and CTS has been my #1 trusted brand for my VW. I love their parts, and the quality of their parts.

great intake, only problem is it is made for multiple different cars. so some parts don’t fit as they should. if there was one specific to each car and would fit correctly it would be 5 stars.

The looks the sounds and the feel to it are amazing! Fits perfectly too (Skoda Superb 1.8 TSI EA888.1). The long pipe was a little bent on both ends but took only a minute to fix. Thank You CTS!

Sounds good and car pulls a little better. Only 4 stars because shield for air filter bracket didn’t line up with car front mounting point properly

Absolutely amazing intake, car pulls a little noticeably harder and the sounds make me and anyone who sits in the car giggle like a child. Had one issue with the add on sai adapter filter click in style which didn’t quite fit still looking for a solution. Installed on a ea888 6.5 gli.

easy install; taking out the stock intake was the hard part, turbo spool and “blow-off” sounds really nice, and pulls slightly harder, definitely will make you giggle when your punching it, 5 stars

I was told to purchase the SAI piece but received no clamp to put it on. And no description of how to install it.
sr71 (store manager) –
Hello, no clamp is required as the SAI filter clips onto the factory connection. Installation guide is available on our website, under the “install guides” tab. I hope this help!
