MST Performance VAG EA211 1.5 TSI EVO Air Intake Kit (MST-VW-MK801)
This air intake kit from MST Performance is designed to replace the standard airbox on VAG group vehicles running the EA211 1.5 TSI EVO engine. The factory airbox is built with cost and noise in mind, not performance – this kit removes that restriction and allows the engine to breathe more freely, delivering a more direct flow of cool air straight to the turbocharger.
The result is improved throttle response (how quickly the engine reacts when you press the accelerator), a more satisfying induction sound, and better overall breathing whether your car is standard or already tuned. It is a worthwhile first modification for anyone looking to get more from their 1.5 TSI engine.
What’s Included
- Black powder-coated heat shield
- Black powder-coated 4″ inlet pipe
- 4″ red dry pleated performance filter
- Silicone joiner
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions
Key Benefits
The dry pleated filter is easy to maintain – unlike oiled filters, it does not require re-oiling after cleaning and is less likely to cause issues with the MAF sensor (the sensor that measures incoming air). The powder-coated heat shield helps keep the filter away from engine heat, ensuring the air entering the turbo stays as cool as possible. Cooler air is denser, which helps the engine run more efficiently.
Fitment covers a range of popular Audi, VW, SEAT, and Skoda models using the EA211 1.5 TSI EVO engine. Use the vehicle lookup tool on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific model and year, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for the full list of compatible vehicles.
