Developed for the latest TDI generation

With the Performance Intake for the 2.0 TDI EA288 EVO engines, we offer a completely newly developed intake system for the current generation of Volkswagen Group diesel engines. At its core is a bionically developed flow design, which was engineered to make the engine's air supply more efficient and significantly reduce flow-related losses.

Thanks to the optimized geometry, the intake air is guided to the turbocharger in a more controlled and uniform manner. The result is improved throttle response, optimized power delivery, and a significantly sportier intake sound.

The benefits at a glance

• Up to +12 hp power increase*
• Up to +30 Nm additional torque*
• Reduced pressure loss in the intake system
• Optimized airflow to the turbocharger
• Improved air routing through bionic geometry
• Minimization of turbulence and flow separation
• Improved efficiency across the entire RPM range
• Potential fuel consumption reduction in daily operation
• Significantly sportier intake noise
• Plug-&-play installation without modifications to the vehicle

Bionic flow design as the key to performance

The centerpiece of the system is the specially developed bionic air routing. Unlike conventional air filter boxes, the entire geometry was developed based on modern flow analysis.

Through extensive CFD simulations, air ducts, transitions, and flow zones were specifically optimized. As a result, air is guided through the system with significantly lower losses and reaches the turbocharger more uniformly and efficiently.

This reduces unnecessary pressure losses and ensures an improved air supply to the engine – the basis for the system's demonstrable performance and efficiency advantages.

Optimized for the requirements of the EA288 EVO

The EA288 EVO engine generation was developed with a focus on efficiency, emission reduction, and modern combustion technologies. The requirements for the engine's air supply are correspondingly high.

Our Performance Intake has been specifically tuned for this engine generation. The flow-optimized design supports a more uniform air supply and improves the operating conditions of the turbocharger.

Especially during dynamic driving and higher load requirements, the system benefits from the optimized air routing and reduced intake resistance.

More efficient air supply for modern diesel technology

Every unnecessary resistance in the intake tract costs energy. By specifically reducing turbulence and pressure losses, the air can be used more efficiently.

The optimized air routing supports cleaner and more uniform combustion, which can improve the efficiency of the overall system in addition to performance. The potential of a flow-optimized intake is particularly evident in daily driving with frequent partial-load states.

Specially developed high-performance filter

An essential component of the system is the specifically developed performance air filter.

The geometry of the filter element was specifically adapted to the flow characteristics of the air filter box. As a result, air is distributed as evenly as possible over the entire filter surface, and additional flow losses are minimized. This is achieved through the rounded filter geometry.

The result is an optimal complement to the bionic air routing of the entire system.

Demonstrable improvements

Our development is not based solely on theoretical calculations. The system has been tested under real-world conditions and analyzed on dynamometers.

The measurements show an improvement in flow properties as well as positive effects on power, torque, and throttle response – all without any changes to the stock software.

Our goal is to develop products whose advantages are technically comprehensible and measurable.

High-quality materials and precise manufacturing

The intake system is manufactured from high-quality polyurethane. The material offers high temperature resistance as well as excellent durability against oil, moisture, and the stresses of daily driving.

Modern manufacturing processes result in a durable, precision-fit product with high surface quality.

Simple plug-&-play installation

The Performance Intake replaces the stock air filter box completely and can be installed without additional adjustments.

Installation is carried out using the vehicle's original mounting points and can be completed in a short amount of time.

Sportier intake sound

In addition to the technical benefits, the system also ensures a much more emotional driving experience in terms of acoustics.

Due to the optimized air routing, intake noises become more audible, while the characteristic sounds of the turbocharger are brought to the foreground. The result is a sporty and powerful sound profile that perfectly complements the modern TDI generation.
