The MQB Gen3 engine is a fantastic platform with a hearty power output from the factory, but it still suffers from those sandbags and decisions to favor comfort over performance.

The Genuine European VW block-off plate helps direct cold air and reduce intake temperatures for better performance and a sleek OE+ look.
