Ramair Foam Performance Intake Kit for the VW Up! GTI
If you want more responsive performance from your VW Up! GTI, upgrading the air intake is one of the most straightforward improvements you can make. This Ramair performance intake kit replaces the restrictive factory airbox and filter with a freer-flowing setup, giving the engine a better supply of fresh air.
The result is improved throttle response – meaning the car reacts more keenly when you press the accelerator – along with a more satisfying induction and turbo sound under load. It is not a night-and-day transformation, but it is a noticeable and rewarding upgrade for everyday driving and spirited use alike.
What is Included
- Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep hot engine bay air away from the intake
- Proram pleated performance filter – designed for high airflow and long service life
- Black powder-coated aluminium intake pipe – a durable, lightweight replacement for the standard plastic pipework
- Full fitting kit with step-by-step instructions
Easy to Fit and Maintain
The kit comes with everything needed for installation and is designed to be fitted at home with basic tools. Clear instructions are included to guide you through the process. When it comes to servicing the filter, Ramair’s dedicated filter maintenance kit (reference CK-003) is available separately and keeps the filter performing at its best over time.
Why Choose a Performance Intake?
The factory air intake is designed with cost and noise reduction in mind, which often means airflow is compromised. A performance intake kit removes those restrictions, allowing the engine and turbocharger to breathe more freely. On a small, turbocharged engine like the one in the Up! GTI, improved airflow can sharpen throttle response and give the intake a more engaging sound – particularly when the turbo spools up.
This kit is designed specifically for the VW Up! GTI. To confirm fitment with your vehicle, please use the vehicle lookup tool on this site or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for full compatibility details.
