Racingline High Flow Air Intake Package – MQB Vehicles EA888 2.0TSI Engines

Racingline High Flow Air Intake Package – MQB EA888 2.0 TSI

The Racingline High Flow Air Intake Package is a straightforward, well thought out upgrade for MQB platform vehicles running the EA888 2.0 TSI engine. It tackles the most restrictive parts of the standard intake system, allowing your engine to breathe more freely for better throttle response and more usable power.

As an authorised Racingline retailer, we supply this package as a genuine, factory backed solution for owners wanting reliable gains without moving to a full enclosed intake system.

What the Package Does

The standard VAG intake is built to a budget and features several restrictions that hold back airflow into the turbocharger. This package replaces the key bottlenecks with higher flowing components, helping more cool, clean air reach the engine. The result is sharper throttle response, a more eager mid range, and a system that supports the demands of remapped (stage 1) software.

What’s Included

• High Flow Panel Filter – a direct fit replacement for the restrictive OEM filter, offering improved airflow with no loss of filtration.
• Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose – replaces the soft factory rubber hose that can deform under boost, improving airflow consistency between the airbox and turbo.
• Turbo 90 Inlet Elbow – replaces the heavily restrictive plastic elbow at the turbo inlet, smoothing the path of air into the compressor.
• Genuine OE Blanking Plate – required for correct installation on certain setups.

Why It Makes a Difference

The EA888 engine responds well to improved airflow, particularly at the turbo inlet where the factory elbow is known to be a significant restriction. By smoothing and enlarging this path, the turbo can draw air more efficiently, reducing pumping losses and helping the engine produce power more cleanly. Owners typically notice crisper throttle pickup and a stronger feel under load, especially when paired with a stage 1 remap.

Expect real, measurable gains, but not miracles. This is an honest, supporting modification that gets the most from your existing setup and lays solid foundations for further tuning.

Ideal For

This package suits stock vehicles wanting a sensible first upgrade, and stage 1 tuned cars looking to make sure airflow isn’t the limiting factor. If you are planning stage 2 tuning or beyond, we recommend stepping up to the Racingline R600 Enclosed Intake System, which is designed to support significantly higher power levels.
