Ramair Performance Air Intake Kit – VAG 1.4 TSI EA211 (2015+) | Foam Filter
This Ramair intake kit is a straightforward performance upgrade for cars fitted with the VAG EA211 1.4 TSI engine. It replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a free-flowing intake pipe and foam filter, giving the engine an easier route to pull in fresh, cool air. The result is improved throttle response and a more engaging induction sound – particularly noticeable under acceleration when the turbocharger (the forced-induction system that pressurises air into the engine) is working hard.
The kit is built around a 70mm diameter intake pipe, which is larger than the standard fitment and helps reduce the restriction on airflow into the engine. The aluminium pipe is finished in a black powder coat, and a matching black powder-coated heat shield is included to help keep hot engine bay air away from the filter – warmer air is less dense and can slightly reduce performance, so shielding the filter makes a practical difference.
Ramair’s foam filter element is a reusable, oiled foam design. Unlike a standard paper filter that gets thrown away, this can be cleaned and re-oiled over time, making it a longer-term investment.
What’s Included
- Black powder-coated aluminium intake pipe (70mm diameter)
- Ramair foam air filter
- Black powder-coated heat shield
- PVC intake ducting
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions
What to Expect
This type of intake kit is well suited to enthusiasts who want improved throttle response and a sportier induction note without major engine modifications. Power gains from an intake upgrade alone are typically modest – this kit works best as part of a broader setup or as a first step in improving engine breathing. On a turbocharged engine like the 1.4 TSI, the intake sound improvement tends to be one of the more noticeable changes in everyday driving.

This kit is designed for VAG Group vehicles fitted with the EA211 1.4 TSI engine (2015 onwards), covering models across the Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, and Skoda ranges – including the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, SEAT Leon, and equivalent Skoda and Audi variants with this engine.
