MST Performance Audi A4 (B9) 1.4T Air Intake Kit – MST-AD-A404
This air intake kit from MST Performance is designed to replace the restrictive factory airbox on the 2016+ Audi A4 (B9) fitted with the 1.4T petrol engine. By allowing more cold air to flow directly to the turbocharger, it improves how the engine breathes – which can lead to better throttle response, a more satisfying intake sound, and modest power gains.
What Does It Do?
The standard airbox fitted to the A4 1.4T is designed with cost and noise reduction in mind, not outright performance. This MST Performance kit removes that restriction by routing cooler, denser air more efficiently into the turbocharger (the device that forces air into the engine to boost power). The result is an engine that responds more eagerly when you press the accelerator, particularly in the mid-range where you feel it most during everyday driving.
MST Performance quote dyno-tested gains of 12-14bhp at peak – these figures are realistic for a quality intake on this engine, though actual results will vary depending on whether the car is standard or already tuned, and on wider environmental conditions. On a tuned car, the intake gives the engine the airflow it needs to make the most of any remapping work already carried out.
What’s Included?
- Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep intake temperatures low by shielding the filter from engine heat
- Black powder-coated inlet pipe – replaces the standard plastic pipework for improved airflow
- Red dry pleated performance air filter – easy to clean and maintain, no oiling required
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions
Installation
This kit is designed to be a straightforward swap for the factory airbox, and comes with all necessary fittings and clear instructions. Most home mechanics with basic tools should be comfortable fitting this, though if you are unsure, having it installed by a garage is always a sensible option.
Fitment note: This kit is designed for the Audi A4 (B9 chassis) 1.4T from 2016 onwards. Please use the vehicle lookup tool on this page or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
