Racingline Intake System VW EOS (1F) 1.4 TSI / Golf Mk5 1.4 TSI (170PS) / Golf Mk6 1.4 TSI (170PS) / Scirocco (13) 1.4 TSI (170PS) – VWR12G614

Racingline Intake System – VW 1.4 TSI (170PS) Models – VWR12G614

Give your 1.4 TSI engine a proper breath of fresh air with the Racingline Intake System. This cold-air intake replaces the restrictive factory airbox, feeding cooler, denser air to your engine for a measurable improvement in throttle response, power delivery and induction sound.

The standard intake on these 1.4 TSI engines is a known bottleneck, particularly once the engine has been remapped or fitted with supporting modifications. Racingline’s solution uses a large-diameter, smooth-flowing intake pipe that draws air directly from outside the engine bay, helping to reduce intake air temperatures and allowing the engine to work more efficiently.

TriFoam® Filtration at the Core

At the heart of the system is Racingline’s TriFoam® filter, a triple-layer laminate of open-cell polyurethane foam. It’s the same style of filter media used in some Formula One engines, striking a careful balance between excellent filtration and minimal air restriction. Each filter is hand-made in the UK and built to last.

The filter is fully washable and reusable, only needing cleaning and re-oiling roughly every 20,000 miles (30,000 km) under normal road use, making it a true lifetime component.

What You Can Expect

• Improved airflow for sharper throttle response and a small but genuine gain in power and torque
• Cooler intake temperatures thanks to a sealed airbox design and cold-air feed
• A richer, more purposeful induction sound under hard acceleration, without becoming intrusive in everyday driving
• A reusable TriFoam® filter that removes the need for regular paper element replacements

Because the airbox is fully enclosed, the induction note is well-controlled. You get the satisfying intake sound when you’re on the throttle, but cruising and town driving remain comfortable.
