Ramair Air Intake Kit – VW Transporter T5 & T6 2.0 / 2.5 TDI (Foam Filter)
This Ramair induction kit is a straightforward upgrade for the Volkswagen Transporter T5 and T6, replacing the restrictive standard air intake with a free-flowing setup designed to improve airflow into the turbocharger. The result is a more responsive engine, a noticeable improvement in intake sound, and – particularly on remapped or tuned vehicles – real performance gains.
The kit uses Ramair’s synthetic nanofibre foam filter, which is engineered to flow more air than a standard paper element while still filtering effectively. Alongside the filter, a twin-tangential velocity stack helps direct air into the intake in a way that optimises flow and reduces turbulence, helping the turbo breathe more freely.
What the Kit Includes
- Ramair synthetic nanofibre foam air filter
- Twin-tangential velocity stack for optimised airflow
- Black heat shield – creates a barrier between the filter and engine heat, helping to maintain cooler intake temperatures
- All fitting hardware including nuts, bolts, hose clamps, and high-quality silicone hose connectors
- Step-by-step fitting instructions with photographs
Why a Heat Shield Matters
Hot air is less dense than cold air, which means your engine gets less oxygen per intake stroke. The included heat shield physically separates the air filter from the warmth of the engine bay, helping the intake draw in cooler, denser air. This is especially useful in the tight engine bay of a Transporter, where heat soak can otherwise offset the benefits of an open-element filter.
Tuned Vehicles
While this kit offers a noticeable improvement on a standard vehicle, the gains are more significant on remapped or otherwise tuned Transporters. A remap increases the demand for airflow, and the standard intake can become a limiting factor – this kit helps remove that restriction.
Important fitment notice: This kit is NOT compatible with the 204 bhp CXEB engine or the 199 bhp CXEC engine. Please confirm your engine code before purchasing.
This kit is designed to fit the VW Transporter T5 and T6 with 2.0 TDI and 2.5 TDI engines (excluding the engine codes noted above). Use the vehicle lookup tool on this site or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm compatibility with your specific model and engine variant before ordering.
