MST Performance Induction Kit – Volvo V60 / S60 Polestar (2018+)
This induction kit from MST Performance is a straightforward bolt-on upgrade designed to improve airflow into the engine on the 2018+ Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar. By replacing the restrictive standard airbox with a less obstructed intake path, the engine can breathe more freely – which typically results in better throttle response and a noticeable improvement in performance.
MST report dyno-tested gains of 12-14bhp with this kit fitted. Real-world results will vary depending on the vehicle’s current state of tune and condition, but gains in this range are realistic for a quality induction kit on a turbocharged engine.
What This Kit Includes
- Black powder-coated heat shield
- Black powder-coated 4″ inlet pipe
- 4″ red dry pleated performance filter
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions
Why Upgrade the Intake?
The standard airbox fitted from the factory is designed with cost and packaging in mind, not outright performance. It can restrict the volume and speed of air reaching the turbocharger (the device that compresses air into the engine to boost power). By replacing it with a larger, less restrictive intake pipe and a high-flow filter, more air reaches the turbo more efficiently.
The result is improved throttle response – meaning the engine reacts more quickly and cleanly when you press the accelerator – along with a more pronounced induction sound under load. The dry pleated filter used here requires no oiling, making it easy to clean and maintain over time.
The powder-coated heat shield helps separate the filter from heat generated in the engine bay, ensuring the incoming air stays as cool as possible. Cooler, denser air contains more oxygen, which helps the engine and turbo work more effectively.
This kit is suitable whether your Polestar is running standard mapping or has already been remapped – the improved airflow will complement both setups.
