MST Performance Air Intake Kit – Toyota C-HR 1.2T (2020)
The MST Performance air intake kit is a straightforward bolt-on upgrade for the Toyota C-HR 1.2T, designed to improve airflow into the engine and free up a little extra performance in the process. Replacing the factory airbox – which is built to balance noise, cost, and emissions rather than outright performance – this kit allows the turbocharger (the forced induction unit that boosts engine power) to breathe more freely.
The result is improved throttle response, a more direct intake sound, and measurable power gains on an otherwise standard or already modified C-HR.
What Are the Performance Gains?
Dyno testing (rolling road testing used to measure power output) has shown peak gains of 12-14bhp over a standard setup. It is worth noting that real-world results can vary depending on the condition of your vehicle, any existing modifications, and how the car is driven. On a standard C-HR, this kit represents a solid first step in performance tuning.
What Makes This Kit Different?
MST Performance have put thought into both function and finish. The heat shield and inlet pipe are black powder-coated for durability and a clean under-bonnet appearance. The shield helps to isolate the filter from warm engine bay air, encouraging cooler, denser air into the turbo – cooler air contains more oxygen, which helps the engine produce more power.
The dry pleated filter (a filter that requires no oil to function, making servicing simpler) is easy to clean and maintain over time, keeping ongoing costs low.
What’s Included in the Kit
- Black powder-coated heat shield

- 4″ red pleated dry air filter

- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step installation instructions
Installation is designed to be straightforward, with no specialist tools required for most home mechanics. The included instructions walk you through the process clearly.
