Racingline VW Up! GTI/1.0TSI Air Intake System – VWR12UPGT
Unlock the full potential of your VW Up! GTI or 1.0 TSI with the Racingline Air Intake System—the highest-performing, race-bred cold-air induction system available for this platform. This is more than just a filter; it’s a complete induction package designed to deliver significant power gains and an exhilarating driving experience.
The factory intake system on these cars is a known restriction, limiting the airflow needed for optimal performance. The Racingline system is engineered to solve this problem by providing a large-diameter, free-flowing path that draws a huge volume of cold, dense air from outside the engine bay directly to your engine.
A Complete Induction Package
The Racingline Air Intake System is unique because it combines two critical components that are essential for maximizing airflow:
- The Intake Itself: A fully-enclosed, satin midnight black aluminum spinning houses a high-flow, triple-layer cone filter. This design acts as a ram-air style intake, drawing cold air from the front of the car while shielding it from the hot air of the engine bay.
- The Turbo Inlet Elbow: The system includes a matched Turbo Inlet Elbow, which is crucial for maximizing airflow. Without this component, a large portion of your hard-won power gains would be lost. Together, these upgrades allow for greatly increased airflow from the intake into the turbo, resulting in lightning-fast turbo response and a worthwhile power gain, especially when paired with a remap.
The Heart of the System: Trifoam® Filtration
At the core of this intake is Racingline’s unique TriFoam™ filter, a triple-layer laminate of open-cell polyurethane foam. This is simply the best filtration material on the market, providing the perfect balance of exceptional filtration and minimal air restriction. Each filter is carefully handmade in the UK, ensuring the highest quality and durability for a lifetime of use.
A Sound to Match the Performance
You’ll be treated to a rich, race-bred induction noise as soon as you accelerate hard, allowing you to finally enjoy the engine’s true turbocharged sounds. The fully-enclosed design ensures that volume levels are well-contained, providing a satisfying aural experience without being overly intrusive.
Upgrade your VW Up! GTI or 1.0 TSI with the Racingline Air Intake System and experience the perfect combination of breathtaking performance, superior quality, and a thrilling induction sound.
