Description

At CTS Turbo we are proud to announce our new 3″ air intake system for the 1.8TSI and 2.0T Gen1 and Gen3 VW/Audi range of vehicles. This kit includes parts that make it compatible with both generations of TSI engines!

The air scoop works in conjunction with our sealed airbox to seamlessly force cold air into our 3″ air intake system.  Air then flows through our high flow cone air filter, which utilizes an inverted cone design for maximum engine breathing.  Our 3″ CNC mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe allows for smooth entry of cold air into the engine providing peak power gains ranging from 9-15WHP. By using a factory MAF housing (when equipped), you can be sure that fuel trims will remain perfect.

All of the components included in the CTS air intake system work flawlessly together to provide increased horsepower and torque throughout the entire power band and an aggressive race-inspired sound.

This intake kit is designed to be compatible with our TSI Gen1 BOSS kits; intake pipe features 2x 1/8NPT bungs for easy installation of BOSS kits.

Product Details:

  • Full 3″ Mandrel-bent aluminum piping with black powder coating
  • Compatible with CTS BOSS kits, with provisions for easy installation
  • Reusable air filter with inverted cone design
  • 4 Ply silicon connectors with stainless steel clamps
  • Airbox with rubberized trim

  • Gains ranging from 9-15WHP on a stock vehicle, even more, if tuned!
  • No CEL, no fuel trim issues

    So far so good, car sounds great no issues with install (SAI filter was hard to get on but otherwise all good) and the throttle response is noticably improved. Would highly recommend.

  2. Grant Lucician (verified owner)

    Perfect addition to my Mk6 GTI for a reasonable price. Only concern I have is with the acoustics of the intake at medium to high boost. After around 4k rpm’s, a high pitched whistle becomes apparent. Other than that, great increase to performance and sound. Additionally, make sure you receive your SAI Breather Filter if ordered. Did not receive mine first time around, but was easily resolved within a few hours.

    Cool and sounds great. However did not come with a set of paper instructions and the sai cone filter was too large and does not mention it at all in the instructions

    Fast shipping, great fitment, and sounds great. I have a 2016 Jetta 1.8L with mostly CTS parts and I can say they never disappoint.

    The CTS-Turbo intake was one of the best bolt on upgrades I’ve gotten. Build quality is very nice. Overall finish looks really good in the engine bay. Best of all, the noise you get is amazing. Lots of Turbo spool and “blow off” noise. As for performance, I’m sure it flows a lot better than the stock intake. There’s a slight increase in low end spool, but really nothing noticeable.

    Very impressed just by build quality. Fast and easy ordering and shipping got here to Ontario in a week. To bad its winter as I have no garage to install cant wait till spring to install SOOOOO excited.

    Im on my second mk6 gti so far, and CTS has been my #1 trusted brand for my VW. I love their parts, and the quality of their parts.

  9. cameron m. (verified owner)

    great intake, only problem is it is made for multiple different cars. so some parts don’t fit as they should. if there was one specific to each car and would fit correctly it would be 5 stars.
