MST Performance Toyota GR Yaris 1.6 Air Intake Kit (MST-TY-GRY01)
The MST Performance air intake kit is a straightforward and effective upgrade for the Toyota GR Yaris 1.6 turbo. It replaces the standard airbox – which is designed with cost and noise reduction in mind rather than performance – with a free-flowing intake system that feeds cooler, denser air directly to the turbocharger. The result is improved throttle response, a more involving induction sound, and real, measurable power gains.
What It Does and Why It Matters
The factory air intake on the GR Yaris is adequate for everyday driving, but it restricts airflow more than necessary, particularly when the engine is working hard. By removing that restriction and routing a larger volume of cold air straight to the turbo, the engine can breathe more freely. More air means more efficient combustion, which translates to better throttle response and more power across the rev range.
Dyno testing has shown gains of up to 14-16bhp over a standard vehicle. It is worth noting that actual gains will vary depending on the individual car, its tune state, and other modifications already fitted – but the improvement is genuine and repeatable.
This kit works well on both standard and already-tuned GR Yaris engines, making it a sensible first modification or a useful addition to an existing setup.
