MST Performance VAG MQB EVO 2.0TSI EA888.4 Garrett Turbo Induction Kit

MST Performance VAG MQB EVO 2.0TSI EA888.4 Garrett Turbo Induction Kit

This induction kit from MST Performance is designed to replace the restrictive standard airbox on the latest EA888 Gen 4 (EVO4) engines found in a range of VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) vehicles. By allowing more cold air to flow directly to the turbocharger, the kit helps the engine breathe more freely – which in turn can improve throttle response and release a little extra performance.

This is the crosslinked Roto-Moulded Polyethylene version of the MST intake range (model reference MST-VW-MK888), offering a durable and lightweight alternative to a standard plastic or rubber airbox setup. The material is tough, heat-resistant, and shaped to make the most of the available space in the engine bay.

What Does It Do?

The standard airbox on most modern turbocharged cars is designed with packaging and noise reduction in mind, not maximum airflow. Swapping it for a performance induction kit like this one removes that restriction, allowing the turbocharger to draw in more air more easily. The result is typically a sharper throttle response – meaning the car feels more immediate and responsive when you press the accelerator – along with a noticeable induction sound under acceleration.

Whether your car is completely standard or already running an ECU remap (a software tune to the engine’s control unit), this kit is a worthwhile addition. On tuned vehicles in particular, the standard airbox can become a bottleneck, and a freer-flowing intake can help make the most of any tune already applied.

Performance and Features

• Improved throttle response for a more engaging driving experience
• Dyno-tested gains of up to 12-14bhp (results will vary depending on the vehicle and its state of tune)
• Easy-to-maintain dry pleated performance filter – no oiling required
• Delivers cold air directly to the turbocharger for maximum efficiency
• Roto-Moulded crosslinked Polyethylene construction – durable, heat-resistant and lightweight

The dry pleated filter is worth noting for day-to-day ownership. Unlike some performance filters that require oil to work properly, this one is dry – making it cleaner and simpler to service or replace when needed.

Fitment

This kit is designed for VAG MQB platform vehicles fitted with the 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 4 (EVO4) engine and Garrett turbocharger. This covers a wide range of popular models across the Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, and Skoda ranges – including Golf, Leon, Octavia and more from the relevant model years.
