Performance Intake for 2.0 TDI EA288 EVO

Developed for the latest TDI generation

With the Performance Intake for the 2.0 TDI EA288 EVO engines, we offer a completely re-developed intake system for the current generation of Volkswagen Group diesel engines. The focus is on a bionically developed flow guide designed to make the engine's air supply more efficient and significantly reduce flow-related losses.

The optimized geometry guides the intake air more controllably and evenly to the turbocharger. The result is improved throttle response, optimized power delivery, and a significantly sportier intake sound.

The advantages at a glance

• Up to +12 HP more power*
• Up to +30 Nm additional torque*
• Reduced pressure loss in the intake system
• Optimized airflow to the turbocharger
• Improved airflow through bionic geometry
• Minimization of turbulence and flow separation
• Improved efficiency across the entire speed range
• Potential fuel consumption reduction in daily driving
• Significantly sportier intake sound
• Plug & Play installation without modifications to the vehicle

Bionic flow guidance as the key to performance

The core of the system is the specially developed bionic airflow. Unlike conventional air filter boxes, the entire geometry was developed based on modern flow analyses.

Extensive CFD simulations allowed air ducts, transitions, and flow areas to be specifically optimized. As a result, air is guided through the system with significantly lower losses and reaches the turbocharger more smoothly and efficiently.

This reduces unnecessary pressure losses and ensures improved air supply to the engine – the basis for the demonstrable performance and efficiency benefits of the system.

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. Accordingly, the demands on the engine's air supply are high.

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

Especially during dynamic driving and higher load requirements, the system benefits from optimized airflow 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, air can be used more efficiently.

Optimized airflow supports clean and consistent combustion, which can improve both performance and the overall system's efficiency. Especially in everyday driving with frequent partial load conditions, the potential of a flow-optimized intake system becomes apparent.

Specially developed high-performance filter

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

The geometry of the filter element has been specifically matched to the flow characteristics of the air filter box. This ensures that the air is distributed as evenly as possible over the entire filter surface, and additional flow losses are minimized. This is achieved by the rounded filter geometry.

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

Verifiable improvements

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

Measurements show an improvement in flow characteristics and positive effects on power, torque, and throttle response – all without changes to the series software.

Our aim is to develop products whose advantages are technically verifiable and measurable.

High-quality materials and precise manufacturing

The intake system is made of high-quality polyurethane. The material offers high temperature resistance and excellent resistance to oil, moisture, and the stresses of daily driving.

Modern manufacturing processes create a durable and perfectly fitting product with a high surface quality.

Simple Plug & Play installation

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

Installation is done at the original mounting points of the vehicle and can be completed within a short time.

Sporty intake sound

In addition to the technical advantages, the system also provides a significantly more emotional driving experience acoustically.

Optimized airflow makes intake noises more audible, while the characteristic sounds of the turbocharger become more prominent. The result is a sporty and powerful sound character that perfectly suits the modern TDI generation.

Suitable for the following vehicles
