Product Details
MK8 GTI Luft-Technik Intake System - With Aluminum Heat Shield:
The ECS Tuning Luft-Technik (Air Technology) Induction System is a premium in-house designed engine aspiration product for your VW MK8 Golf GTI 2.0T that not only delivers remarkable power gains, but also blends 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 follow the OEM flow path, keeping installation simple with basic hand tools and includes all new installation hardware.
Throughout years of in-house development, performance-driven design changes and strict product testing, our design has resulted in a highly effective air induction system. Our induction system not only looks good but is real world tested with performance that is second to none. If you expect nothing but the best, like we do, this is the only system for you!
PART DESIGN
Designed and engineered in-house using state of the art 3D laser scanning and CAD technology for precision fitment
HEAT SHIELD & INLET SCOOP - The massive aluminum dual air inlet duct and aluminum heat shield assembly are designed to feed massive amounts of outside air to the air filter element and to shield against radiant engine bay heat so lots of cool, ambient air is drawn in! The dual air inlet duct takes advantage of the MK8's dual-opening grille assembly and channels air from both sides of the engine bay for maximum available airflow. The main heat shield assembly is perfectly designed to seal the EPDM foam rubber edge trim against the hood liner pad to further stave off engine bay heat and to maintain repeatable power delivery.
INTAKE TUBE - Mandrel bent 6061 aluminum 88.9mm (3.5") Wrinkle Black Powdercoated Aluminum Induction Tube provides smooth, direct airflow into the turbo inlet hose.
BIG BORE TURBO INLET PIPE:
89mm opening - 23mm larger than the stock 66mm inlet!
Inlet Elbow is made from cast aluminum for maximum airflow capacity, durability and is designed to work in perfect harmony with the ECS Tuning intake system
Compressor Inlet Flange is machined after casting to create a bellmouth inlet design for smooth air entry into the compressor housing. The CNC inlet flange also features OEM mounting holes, it also utilizes a sealing O-ring for perfect fit and seal for precision fitment within the compressor housing.
Cast mounting tabs retain compatibility with the OEM locating fastener and its mounting location.
COOLANT RE-ROUTE HOSE - Designed to take the less obtrusive hose routing underneath your intake system for a more pleasing underhood-look. Our silicone coolant hose connects the upper radiator hose bypass fitting to the expansion tank metal return line and is secured underneath the main heat shield with a mounting clip. Made from heavy duty, 3-ply silicone designed to handle 250° Fahrenheit continuously and tested up to 44.1psi for long lasting, dependable operation
AIR FILTER - 5" conical, cotton gauze, clean-able filter element. Features 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.
- SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (optional) - Our system is fully compatible with the OEM SAI emissions system. The included cotton gauze SAI breather filter provides a fresh air source to the SAI pump using our custom CNC-machined 6061 aluminum SAI adapter to the OEM SAI hose.

Performance data metrics are collected utilizing our in-house Superflow SF-750 Flowbench.
INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT
** Pneumatic Hood Strut Conversion Kit is required as the OEM hood prop will not clear the heat shield**
MK8 GTI Big Bore Turbo Inlet Pipe:
All too often OEM components sacrifice performance in an effort to appeal to a wide variety of customers. While an enthusiast typically wants better boost response and more power, all while hearing the turbocharger breathe, a non-enthusiast may give up these characteristics for a quieter ride. Give your MK8 GTI the performance it deserves and engage with your car for a more enjoyable driving experience!
In the case of the factory turbo inlet pipe, mounted between the compressor housing and air intake hose, its purpose is to channel air from the inlet hose into the turbocharger inlet, all while reducing engine bay acoustics and sacrificing quality materials in favor of cheap molded plastic material. With the ECS MK8 GTI Cast Turbo Inlet Pipe, the factory inlet pipe is removed and replaced with our straight-through, cast aluminum inlet. This eliminates the cheap plastic unit that was installed from the factory that can deform or even crack over time due to engine bay temps and heat cycles.
