POWER. SOUND. STYLE.
Your VW MK8 GTI, Golf R, or Audi S3 factory airbox is a highly restrictive design that suppresses power and engine sound. We have engineered the iE MK8 Air Intake System with true motorsport features to maximize air supply and flow rates, liberating your driving fun with added power and an endless supply of addicting throttle and turbo noises.
Elevate your style with our optional high-gloss carbon fiber lid that spans the entire length of your intake. This simple upgrade completely transforms the look of your engine bay, giving it a high-end, show-stopping appearance.
Deflect performance-killing heat with an intake that sports an aluminum alloy heat shield. Spanning the entire length of the front clip it seals off hot engine bay air. High-pressure outside air is channeled from the front grill directly to an integrated velocity stack and air filter.
Throttle growls, turbo whistles, engine snarls—call it what you want. Our high-velocity bellmouth and free-flow design unmuzzles your engine with unique, satisfying notes and turbo sounds. Switch the radio off and smash the throttle pedal to conduct your own symphony of addictive engine noise.
With this adaptable design, you’re good to go for future turbo upgrades. This is a single-piece turbo inlet, so there’s no need for silicone couplers. That means fewer transitions and less power-robbing turbulence. With the included turbo adapter, you’ll get great flow without buying another inlet to complete your intake system. Install is a snap, just three clamps.
Lifted from the pages of professional race engineering, our built-in velocity stack bellmouth shape is designed to deliver huge gulps of air that flow efficiently from the 5" air filter surface area to the intake piping. This true motorsport design feature is built for maximum airflow with minimal drag and power-robbing turbulence.
Tuning your MK8 2.0T’s with a stock intake can kill horsepower and torque. Stage 1 tuning can give you some good gains with stock hardware. But if you’re thinking of taking your car to Stage 2, you’ll want to replace your intake and intercooler too. Losing those hardware limitations can add up to +35HP and +20ft-lbs of torque over Stage 1 with a stock intake!
Upgrading the intake system removed major restrictions, allowing for higher power potential via tuning. The dyno graph details the max power from the stock intake with 91 octane Stage 1 vs. the iE intake system with 91 octane Stage 2 on a VW Golf R. The results are significant gains of 35 horsepower and 20 ft-lbs of torque.
In flow bench testing of iE’s intake versus the stock intake with small-diameter pipes, our intake took home the trophy (and it wasn’t even close) with consistent airflow gains of up to 40% more than stock!
NOTE: GTI engines have a smaller turbo inlet than larger Golf R/S3 turbos. Testing reflects real-world conditions, and lower GTI results are due to the smaller factory turbo inlet. These results also highlight the iE intake's ability to support higher airflow demands and power goals, even when upgrading turbos.

FROM BLAH TO RAW IN MINUTES
Save your expletives for something else. We’ve made the install a piece of cake. Using 3D scanners, we render a digital model of the engine bay for a dress rehearsal in The Matrix. We can see if everything fits like a factory-installed part but with smarter-looking curves and angles. Then it’s onto real-world rapid prototyping for the finishing touches and snug fit with no snags. You’ll f#$%@ing love it!
There’s some nasty stuff out there, if you find yourself in harsh climates, keep your engine safe and combat dirt, sand and whatever that is. Drive confidently with our optional upgraded 8-pleated filter treated with penetrating filter oil and covered with a pre-filter soc! SOLD SEPARATELY, GET YOURS HERE
Please read before ordering. Eurosport Performance does not carry live inventory on this site. Most products are ordered for you directly from the manufacturer or our suppliers, and we follow their lead times. Placing an order confirms you have read and accepted the availability terms below.
| In stock
Ships within 24 to 48 hours
Products marked in stock are on our shelves in Montreal and leave within one to two business days.
|
Ordered for you
Most orders ship in 5 to 7 business days
Everything else is ordered from the manufacturer or supplier when you order. Delays can occur; if they do, we contact you.
|
|
Supplier lead times apply
If a product is not listed as in stock here and is on backorder at the manufacturer, it will most likely be on backorder for us too. We will tell you as soon as we know.
|
We keep you informed
You receive a confirmation when the order is placed, a notice if a delay comes up, and tracking the moment it ships.
|
Only products explicitly marked in stock are on our shelves. For everything else, the fastest way to know the current lead time is to ask us before you order; we check with the supplier and reply with a date.
Confirmed means we have placed the order with the manufacturer or supplier on your behalf. Shipping follows once the part reaches us or ships directly to you, usually within 5 to 7 business days for products that are available at the source.
We tell you as soon as the supplier confirms it, with the expected date when they give one. You can keep the order open, switch to an alternative we suggest, or cancel for a full refund before the part ships.
Yes. Any order that has not shipped can be cancelled by contacting us, and the refund goes back to your original payment method. Please contact us rather than opening a dispute with your bank: a cancellation takes us minutes, a chargeback takes weeks and freezes the refund in the meantime.
Sometimes. Larger or special-order items can ship to you directly from the supplier to save days in transit. You still receive tracking from us either way.
Orders ship from Montreal or directly from our suppliers. For Canadian addresses the price you pay is the price, with no import or duty fees added on delivery. See our shipping policy for details.
You get an email with the tracking number the moment the label is created, and you can follow the order in your account on the site or in the SPECD app.
Want a lead time before you order? Email us or use the contact page with the product name and your vehicle, and we will confirm availability with the supplier.
Products are warrantied by their manufacturer. Eurosport Performance is an authorized reseller: every part we sell is covered by the manufacturer's own warranty, with its own terms and duration. Claims go through us, so you deal with Eurosport Performance rather than a form on the brand's site, but whether a claim is accepted is the manufacturer's decision.
|
Manufacturer terms apply
Duration and coverage are set by the brand and differ from one to the next: some cover one year, some a lifetime, some only the original purchaser. The brand's warranty page is the reference; ask us if you cannot find it.
|
We file the claim for you
Contact us with your order number, photos and a description of the issue. We open the claim with the manufacturer, follow it up, and arrange the repair, replacement or credit they approve. The manufacturer decides whether the claim is accepted.
|
|
Fitment guarantee: North America only
We guarantee fitment for vehicles sold in the North American market. Vehicles from other markets are out of scope; specifications differ, and it is the customer's responsibility to confirm compatibility before ordering.
|
No warranty on tuning files
ECU and TCU tunes and other software files are sold without warranty and are not returnable once delivered or flashed. Tuning can affect your vehicle's factory warranty; please read the brand's terms before purchasing.
|
|
Proof of purchase
Your Eurosport Performance order is the proof of purchase every manufacturer asks for. Keep the order confirmation; it is also in your account on the site and in the SPECD app.
|
What is usually not covered
Damage from improper installation, modification, abuse, racing or an incorrect application for the vehicle, and normal wear items such as pads, clutch discs and filters. Shipping and labour are covered only when the manufacturer's terms say so.
|
It is the manufacturer's warranty for that product. Where the brand publishes it, we note it in the description; otherwise contact us before ordering and we will confirm the exact terms with them.
Stop using it if it is a safety-related part, then contact us with your order number, clear photos, and when and how the issue appeared. Do not return anything until we confirm the claim; manufacturers often require an inspection or an authorization number first.
The manufacturer. We prepare and submit the claim, provide the proof of purchase and push for a fair outcome, but acceptance, replacement or credit is their call under their terms. We pass their decision on to you as soon as we have it.
It depends on the manufacturer. Simple cases are approved in days; claims that need the part inspected can take a few weeks. We keep you updated at each step and push when it drags.
No. Tuning files are software; once delivered or flashed they cannot be returned, and they carry no warranty from Eurosport Performance or, in most cases, from the tuner. Support for the tune itself (revisions, flashing questions) comes from the tuning brand under its own terms.
No. Our fitment guarantee covers vehicles sold in the North American market only. European, Japanese and other market vehicles can differ in engines, electronics and dimensions, and a part listed for the North American model is not guaranteed to fit. If you order for one of these vehicles, confirming compatibility is your responsibility, and fitment issues on such vehicles are not covered by returns or warranty.
Labour is not covered unless the manufacturer's terms specifically include it. Having the part installed by a qualified shop protects your claim: improper installation is the most common reason a manufacturer declines.
No. Returns cover unused parts you no longer want, under our refund policy. Warranty covers a part that fails in use, under the manufacturer's terms. If you are unsure which applies, contact us and we will point you to the right one; please do not open a bank dispute, as it pauses both processes.
Questions about coverage before you buy? Email us with the product and your vehicle and we will confirm the manufacturer's terms.
