MST Performance Air Intake Kit – Mini Cooper F55, F56, F57 (2018+)
This air intake kit from MST Performance is a direct upgrade over the standard airbox on the Mini Cooper F55, F56, and F57. Designed to improve airflow into the engine, it helps the turbocharger breathe more freely – which translates to better throttle response and a more engaging drive.
The kit replaces the factory air intake system with a less restrictive setup, allowing cooler, denser air to reach the turbo more efficiently. More air means better combustion, and better combustion means more power. MST Performance’s own dyno testing shows gains of up to 12-14bhp, though real-world results will vary depending on the vehicle’s specification and any existing modifications.
What’s Included
- Black powder-coated heat shield
- Black powder-coated inlet and MAF (Mass Air Flow sensor) housing pipe
- Red dry pleated performance filter
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions
Key Benefits
Improved throttle response – the less restrictive intake allows air to move more freely, so the engine reacts more quickly when you press the accelerator.
Cold air feed to the turbo – the heat shield helps direct cooler air towards the turbocharger, away from the heat generated by the engine. Cooler air is denser, which supports better performance.
Easy maintenance – the dry pleated filter can be cleaned and reused, so there’s no need for regular replacements like an oiled filter would require.
Quality finish – the powder-coated components give a clean, durable look under the bonnet and are built to last.
Installation is straightforward and the kit comes with everything needed to fit it at home with basic tools. Step-by-step instructions are included to guide you through the process.
Important fitment note: This kit is designed for Mini Cooper F55, F56, and F57 models from 2018 onwards and is compatible with engines using a rectangular MAF sensor. Fitment may also extend to other F-series Mini models. Please use the vehicle lookup tool on this page or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
