Revived My MK5 GTI’s Throttle Response—Simple, Effective Cold Air Intake
Swapping in this cold air intake kit on my 2008 VW MK5 GTI 2.0T FSI (EA113) was one of the best bolt-on mods I’ve tackled. The powder-coated aluminum pipe fits the stock mounting points flawlessly, and the high-flow conical filter slides onto the MAF housing without any adapters—installation took me about 45 minutes with common hand tools.Once I fired up the engine, the difference was immediate: throttle response feels crisper off idle, and the turbo spools just a hair quicker thanks to the cooler, denser air charge. There’s a subtle whoosh under boost that adds a sporty soundtrack without ever feeling droney during highway cruising. I monitored intake air temps on my VCDS scan and saw a consistent 15–20 °F drop compared to the factory setup.The reusable filter is easy to service—just rinse and oil every 10,000 miles—and the sealed airbox design keeps debris out while still drawing from a relatively cool source near the fender. No check-engine lights, no hiccups, and I even noticed a slight bump in fuel economy on long trips. For any MK5 GTI owner looking to sharpen throttle feel and add a bit of induction noise, this intake delivers pro-level gains and reliability at a street-friendly price. Highly recommend!

Doesn't fit but seems to be good quality
Got this for my car and unfortunately it doesn't fit. Seems to be just a wee bit too short, and the filter size on it is a little bit off. Tried to squeeze it in there, but no luck. Although it doesn't fit, it seems like it's made well. The hose seems solid, and it does come with the necessary screws and clamps. Make sure to check measurements before purchasing.
