Your VW MK8 GTI factory airbox is a highly restrictive design that suppresses power and engine sound. iE has engineered the perfect MK8 Air Intake System with true motorsport features to maximize air supply and flow rates. Liberate your driving fun with added power and an endless supply of addicting throttle and turbo noises.
Elevate your style with our 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.
(iE Carbon Fiber Lid is sold separately).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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

We update our catalog daily to provide the most accurate fitment information possible. When shopping for parts, please use the “select your vehicle” car selector on the home page. Once you've selected your car, you can filter parts specific to it.
Additionally, on each product page, we have a tab for fitment information. By clicking on "Fitment", you can scroll and verify the part you are about to add to your cart indeed fits.
Furthermore, if you have a vehicle added to our vehicle selector and you are viewing a product page, you'll see fitment information below the "add to cart" button. If an item fits your car it will display "This Part Fits Your: Selected Vehicule". If an item does not fit your vehicle a message will display "This Part Does Not Fit".
A “Core Charge” is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have Core Charges that work the same way as a soda can deposit. The most common car parts that include a core charge are alternators, calipers, steering racks, and fuel injectors.
"MAP" pricing, or Minimum Advertised Pricing, means that the vendor set a minimum retail price that we're not allowed to violate. MAP items cannot be discounted because the decrease in price would violate that threshold.
