The ECS Tuning Luft-Technik (Air Technology) Induction System is a premium in-house designed engine aspiration product for your VW MK8 Golf R that not only delivers remarkable power gains, but also blends automotive engineering into an artistic canvas of underhood beauty. Our system is constructed of premium materials and utilizes the most advanced development methods available to date. Our system is engineered to follow the OEM flow path, keeping installation simple with basic hand tools and includes all new installation hardware.
Throughout years of in-house development, performance-driven design changes and strict product testing, our design has resulted in a highly effective air induction system. Our induction system not only looks good but is real world tested with performance that is second to none. If you expect nothing but the best, like we do, this is the only system for you!
PART DESIGN
Designed and engineered in-house using state of the art 3D laser scanning and CAD technology for precision fitment
HEAT SHIELD & INLET SCOOP - The massive aluminum dual air inlet duct and aluminum heat shield assembly are designed to feed massive amounts of outside air to the air filter element and to shield against radiant engine bay heat so lots of cool, ambient air is drawn in! The dual air inlet duct takes advantage of the MK8's dual-opening grille assembly and channels air from both sides of the engine bay for maximum available airflow. The main heat shield assembly is perfectly designed to seal the EPDM foam rubber edge trim against the hood liner pad to further stave off engine bay heat and to maintain repeatable power delivery.
INTAKE TUBE - Mandrel bent 6061 aluminum 88.9mm (3.5") Wrinkle Black Powdercoated Aluminum Induction Tube provides smooth, direct airflow into the turbo inlet hose.
BIG BORE TURBO INLET PIPE:
89mm opening - 23mm larger than the stock 66mm inlet!
Inlet Elbow is made from cast aluminum for maximum airflow capacity, durability and is designed to work in perfect harmony with the ECS Tuning intake system
Increased induction and turbo noise!
Compressor Inlet Flange is machined after casting to create a bellmouth inlet design for smooth air entry into the compressor housing. The CNC inlet flange also features OEM mounting holes, it also utilizes a sealing O-ring for perfect fit and seal for precision fitment within the compressor housing.
Cast mounting tabs retain compatibility with the OEM locating fastener and its mounting location.
COOLANT RE-ROUTE HOSE - Designed to take the less obtrusive hose routing underneath your intake system for a more pleasing underhood-look. Our silicone coolant hose connects the upper radiator hose bypass fitting to the expansion tank metal return line and is secured underneath the main heat shield with a mounting clip. Made from heavy duty, 3-ply silicone designed to handle 250° Fahrenheit continuously and tested up to 44.1psi for long lasting, dependable operation
AIR FILTER - 5" conical, cotton gauze, clean-able filter element. Features smooth bell mouth inlet and a conical shape that maximizes filtration surface area. An 8-ply cotton gauze construction provides the best balance between airflow and filtration efficiency.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Flow bench tested on our in-house Superflow SF-750 Flowbench we observed a 20% gain over the stock intake system
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our ECS Luft-Technik Intake was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.
Performance data metrics are collected utilizing our in-house Superflow SF-750 Flowbench.
INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT
Looking for installation tips? Look no further, we put together a full installation tutorial from start to finish including how to remove your OEM parts in detail! See our Installation PDF under the INSTALLATION Tab for more information.
** Pneumatic Hood Strut Conversion Kit is required as the OEM hood prop will not clear the heat shield**

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.
