Product Details

10X Entries Into Our F80 M3 Sweepstakes

The ECS Tuning 2018+ Tiguan MQB 2.0T Gen3 "B" Luft-Technik (Air Technology) Intake System is a premium in-house designed engine aspiration product that frees up intake restrictions (+20% CFM gain over stock) in order to maximize intake efficiency, while unleashing intoxicating turbocharger sounds, along with blending automotive engineering into an artistic canvas of underhood beauty. Our system is constructed of premium materials and utilizes the most advanced development methods available to date. Our system is engineered to fit exactly like OEM with simple hand tools and includes all new installation hardware. 

Our ECS Luft-Technik Intake System featurea large heat shield to direct cool, ambient air to our high flow, reusable air filter. Engine bay heat is kept off the air filter with EPDM foam rubber edge trim which seals the heat shield to the underside of the hood liner to maintain repeatable power delivery. Our cotton gauze, reusable air filter features a 3.0" bell mouth inlet to smooth incoming air into the factory mass airflow housing, which is then directed to our included Silicone Intake Hose for a direct, smooth flow path into the factory turbo inlet elbow. 

 

 

PART DESIGN

HEAT SHIELD ASSEMBLY:

  • Precisely engineered to seal off against radiant engine bay heat with our EPDM rubber edge trim  
  • Mounts to the OEM airbox mounting posts with new rubber insulating grommets
  • Utilizes a “floating” tube mount which allows the motor to rock fore and aft without binding the heat shield or intake tube
  • Features a relief cut for maintaining position of the factory coolant expansion tank return hose 
  • Made from aluminum
    • Carefully selected textured matte black finish with OEM-like stippling chosen to match other OEM underhood pieces

 

​HIGH FLOW AIR FILTER:

  • 3.0" conical, cotton gauze, clean-able filter element
  • Features a smooth bell mouth inlet and a conical shape that maximizes filtration surface area
  • An 8-ply cotton gauze construction provides the best balance between airflow and filtration efficiency  

 

ALUMINUM INTAKE TUBE:

  • Made from 3.0" mandrel-bent aluminum tubing, then powdercoated in a wrinkle black finish for long-lasting great looks, our intake tube secures the air filter to the heat shield, while providing a smooth flow path between the air filter and MAF coupler
  • A TIG-welded nipple provides the necessary clean air source to the intake manifold runner flap solenoid to maintain OEM operation 

 

SILICONE INTAKE HOSES:

  • Made from 4-ply fiberglass reinforced silicone to prevent collapsing under high vacuum conditions
  • Designed to handle high engine bay temperatures, and resistant to oil / chemical degradation for long term durability
  • Stainless steel, smooth band "German Style" hose clamps included  
  • MAF coupler connects the intake tube to the factory MAF housing
  • Turbo inlet hose features a smooth transition with a gradual taper from the factory mass airflow housing to the turbo inlet elbow for the least-amount of turbulent airflow

 

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (SAI):

  • Integral design within the heat shield, our SAI kit discreetly mounts below the main air filter to maintain compatibility with the OEM SAI hose 
  • Includes a CNC machined aluminum SAI adapter and a cotton gauze, reusable air filter element
