Description
Unlock enhanced performance and throttle response with the Forge Motorsport Induction Kit designed specifically for the EA888 Gen 3 and Gen 4 2.0L turbocharged engines. Developed and rigorously tested on the VW Golf Mk8 R EA888 Gen 4 platform, this kit delivers measurable power and torque gains, superior filtration, and an aggressive engine sound for a truly engaging driving experience.
Performance Gains
When paired with the appropriate Forge turbo inlet adaptor (FMTIA5, FMTIA6, FMTIA9, or FMINLMK7), this induction kit achieves up to 13 BHP power increase and 17 Nm additional torque, noticeable throughout the mid to high RPM range. Even without the turbo inlet adaptor, a gain of approximately 3.5 BHP is realized, all on a stock ECU tune.
High-Quality Filter Options
Choose between a Forge Motorsport Ram Air synthetic nanofiber pleated filter or a Pipercross foam filter. Both are oversized relative to OEM and competitor alternatives, offering enhanced airflow and superior filtration for optimal engine breathing.
Engineered for Efficiency
The intake pipe diameter is carefully tuned to maintain consistent airflow and minimize low-end torque loss. The mandrel-bent pipework feeds the turbocharger smoothly to maximize response and reduce turbulence. The system also improves induction sound, adding a sporty tone on acceleration and boost.
Heat Shield & Temperature Management
Utilizing SolidWorks CAD, the custom heat shield is precisely designed to fit the engine bay contours and coated with proprietary thermal barriers. It effectively protects the intake from radiant heat while guiding cool air from the OEM cold air duct. The shield’s open design near the headlight helps reduce inlet air temperatures (IATs), which supports engine reliability and power, especially for tuned vehicles running Stage 2 or Stage 3+ setups.
Installation & Fitment
The kit comes complete with all necessary hardware and full-color installation instructions. It installs in approximately one hour without requiring ECU modifications. A P-clip and tab secure the OEM accordion inlet hose to the heat shield, preventing damage or rattles often found with competing kits.
Extensive Compatibility
Designed for a broad range of MQB-platform vehicles using the EA888 Gen 3 & Gen 4 2.0T engine, including many VW, Audi, SEAT, and Skoda models. Compatibility covers multiple trims and model years, making this a versatile and highly researched upgrade.
