MST Performance BMW 2.0 Turbo (N20) Air Intake Kit – MST-BW-N2001
This air intake kit from MST Performance is a straightforward upgrade for BMW models fitted with the 2.0 turbo N20 engine. It replaces the standard airbox with a freer-flowing intake setup, giving the engine a better supply of cool, fresh air – which is exactly what a turbocharged engine needs to perform at its best.
The result is improved throttle response (the engine reacts more quickly when you press the accelerator), a more satisfying induction sound, and real, measurable power gains. MST quote dyno-tested (rolling road) peak gains of 12-14bhp, though results will vary depending on the state of tune and condition of your vehicle.
What’s Included
- Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep hot engine bay air away from the intake
- Black powder-coated aluminium inlet pipe
- Red dry pleated performance air filter – easy to clean and re-use
- Silicone joiner
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions
Why Upgrade the Air Intake?
The factory airbox is designed with cost and noise regulations in mind, not outright performance. It restricts how much air can flow to the turbocharger. By replacing it with this kit, air moves more freely into the engine, allowing the turbo to work more efficiently. On a standard car this can sharpen up the driving feel noticeably. On a car that has already been tuned (for example, with an ECU remap – a software adjustment to the engine’s control unit), this upgrade supports those existing modifications and can help unlock further gains.
The dry pleated filter requires no oiling, which makes servicing simple. It can be cleaned and reused rather than replaced, keeping long-term maintenance costs low.
Vehicle Fitment
This kit is designed for BMW models fitted with the N20 2.0 turbo petrol engine, including the 125i, 228i, 320i, 328i and 428i across the F22, F30 and F32 body styles from 2012 onwards. Please use the vehicle lookup tool on this page or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm compatibility with your specific model and year before purchasing.
