MST Performance VAG 1.5TSI EVO (EA211) Induction Kit

MST Performance VAG 1.5 TSI EVO (EA211) Induction Kit

The MST Performance induction kit is a straightforward upgrade for the 1.5 TSI EVO engine found in a wide range of VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) vehicles, including cars from VW, Audi, SKODA and SEAT. It replaces the standard airbox with a freer-flowing setup, allowing the engine to breathe more easily – which can help improve throttle response and give a more engaging induction sound when you push the accelerator.

It is a direct-fit replacement, meaning it is designed to bolt on using the existing mounting points without the need for complex modifications. Everything you need is included in the kit, along with step-by-step fitting instructions.

Important: This kit will not fit vehicles equipped with a MAF sensor (Mass Airflow Sensor – a component that measures the amount of air entering the engine). Please check your vehicle’s specification before purchasing. Use the Vehicle Fitment tab or the site’s vehicle lookup tool to confirm compatibility.

What Is Included

• Crosslinked roto-moulded polyethylene closed design airbox with clear top cover – a rigid, heat-resistant enclosure that helps keep hot engine air away from the filter
• 76mm (4 inch) reusable high-flow pleated air filter
• Black 4 inch inlet pipe
• Silicone joiner
• Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions

What to Expect

The closed airbox design is a notable feature here. Unlike open cone filters that sit exposed in the engine bay, the enclosed housing shields the filter from warm air rising off the engine. Cooler, denser air entering the engine generally means more consistent performance – particularly useful if the car has already been remapped or tuned.

The 76mm filter inlet is larger than the standard setup, reducing restriction and allowing a higher volume of air to reach the engine. In practical terms, this can translate to a slightly sharper throttle response and a more noticeable induction sound under acceleration – something many drivers find adds to the driving experience.

Whether the car is running on a standard map or has already had engine tuning work done, this kit is a practical upgrade that works well as a standalone improvement or as part of a wider performance build.
