do88 LF-290-S Intake System VW Polo GTI AW, Audi A1 40TFSI GB EA888

Product description

The best performance air intake system for VW Polo GTI AW/ Audi A1 Sportback 40 TFSI EA888 on the market!

Filtration, airflow and heat are the key considerations when designing a new intake system for a turbocharged engine. Our do88 intake system has been developed to provide the turbo with good filtration, improved airflow path while also maintaining low inlet temperatures. Our design distinguishes from most aftermarket intake systems, we've taken the additional steps by developing a custom turbo inlet that replaces the OE's restrictive plastic inlet.

Key advantages with do88 performance intake system:

A fully enclosed / sealed design, ensuring only cold air is supplied to keep the IAT´s low.

Our system also replaces the restrictive OE turbo inlet!

Increases airflow by 42% See the graph in product photos.

Large, custom-designed cotton air filter with densely knitted cotton gauze fabric (with filter oil).

Washable air filter for optimum performance and long service life.

We recommend cleaning the air filter every 20.000 km. See maintenance procedure in installation instruction.

Frontal inlet scoop, providing unrestricted airflow to the air filter.

Optimized for tuned engines, hybrid turbos, and big turbo kits.

Reduced pressure drop and less strain on factory components compared to stock.

Improved throttle and boost response.

A fluent design with no sharp or harsh bends or restrictions.

Produces an enhanced induction sound from the turbocharger and diverter valve (DV).

Compatible with most future mods you can think of, i.e. turbo upgrade.

Quick and easy installation using factory airbox mounts.

Comes with a water drainage opening at the bottom of the airbox.

This kit comes in 2 versions:

Including the do88 Turbo inlet hose and 3” Turbo inlet pipe.

The intake system alone. Connects to the OEM plastic Turbo inlet hose.

Tests conducted in our SuperFlow SF1020 flow bench, clearly demonstrates the importance of this optional Turbo inlet hose and pipe. The intake system alone offers a substantial 17 % airflow increase. Combined with the do88 Turbo inlet hose and 3” inlet pipe, the overall airflow increase is a whopping 42%! We strongly recommend this combination.

Our intake system is designed to improve the flow and lower the negative pressure and at the same time only draw cold air. Many aftermarket intake systems draw hot air from the engine compartment, resulting in very high IAT and therefore loss in power and performance. Our system is a true cold air intake.

Always be aware that the EM intake system and air filter was designed for the power level the car was built for originally. A power increase may cause your stock intake system to not perform well enough. If your intake system doesn't have the performance you need it will be too hard for the turbocharger to get the air it needs which will lower engine efficiency and this will make you lose hp. So even on an engine with a software tune, the do88 intake system will give a performance increase over the OEM air box!

do88 performance air intake system comes as a complete package with all parts necessary for installation.
