Description
Transform the driving dynamics of your VW MK8 Golf R or Audi 8Y S3 with the iE Air Intake System — engineered with race-proven design principles and built to unleash the true potential of your 2.0T EA888.4 engine. The factory airbox is restrictive by design, stifling performance and muting sound. The iE Intake replaces it with a performance-first solution that maximizes airflow, improves throttle response, and delivers the aggressive engine acoustics that enthusiasts crave.
Whether you're daily driving or preparing for Stage 2 tuning, this high-performance intake is your ticket to enhanced horsepower, torque, and a more connected driving experience.

Ram Air Efficiency
The intake features a large-format scoop that spans the full width of the front grille. This design not only shields incoming air from heat soak but also ensures a high-pressure supply of fresh, cool air is delivered directly to the turbocharger—dramatically enhancing performance under all driving conditions.
Race-Bred Sound Design
From the moment you step on the throttle, the iE intake system delivers a thrilling auditory experience. Turbo whistle, wastegate flutter, and intake growl combine to create the dynamic soundtrack your Golf R or S3 was meant to have.
Performance-Oriented Architecture
The integrated, single-piece turbo inlet and velocity stack reduce flow disruptions, turbulence, and pressure drops. Whether stock or modified, this system is designed to scale with your build and work in perfect harmony with turbo upgrades and intercoolers.
Precision Fitment and Installation
Engineered using advanced 3D scanning and CAD modeling, the iE intake fits perfectly with factory mounts and surrounding components. No cutting, trimming, or guesswork is required. The result is a bolt-on system that installs in just 30–45 minutes with basic tools.
