Upgrade Intake Manifold for 1.8 / 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen.3 MQB – Motorsport Performance in Aluminum
The Upgrade Intake Manifold for 1.8 / 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen.3 MQB engines is the ideal solution for anyone looking for more performance, greater durability, and a visual highlight in the engine bay. It replaces the factory plastic intake manifold, which quickly reaches its limits under high boost pressures. Made from robust cast aluminum with an enlarged plenum volume and optimized flow geometry, this manifold is perfect for tuned vehicles, big turbo and hybrid turbo setups.
Why Upgrade to Aluminum?
- Maximum stability: Cast aluminum remains stable even under extreme boost pressures – no warping, no cracks, no leaks.
- 40% larger volume: The enlarged plenum provides more air reserve and improved cylinder filling across the entire rpm range.
- Improved airflow: Tapered runners with Venturi effect increase air velocity and improve balance between cylinders.
- Thermal resistance: Aluminum does not deform under heat, preventing power loss from leaks.
- Upgradeable: Provisions for larger throttle bodies, 4-port methanol injection systems, and larger intake piping.
- Billet fuel rail included: Precision CNC-machined, larger internal diameter and threaded fittings for increased fuel flow.
- Colors: Available in Silver or Black powder-coated.
