What’s so special?
The RacingLine VWR Cold-Air Intake System is simply the most complete induction package available for the 1.0 TSI. Our package combines two components together – the Air Intake itself plus the Turbo Inlet Elbow. Without these two elements flowing in harmony you’d be wasting a lot of your hard-won power gains.
- Together these upgrades allow greatly increased airflow from your intake into the turbo for lightning fast turbo response and a worthwhile power gain.
- Our High-Flow TriFoam™ triple-layer construction is simply the best filtration material on the market, and is the key to the power gains achieved.
- Each Trifoam® filter is carefully handmade in the UK.
Breathe free.1.0 TSI Air Intake.
The highest-performing, race-bred cold air intake for the 1.0 TSI (EA211).
And it’s not just an intake. The new RacingLine 1.0 TSI Intake includes our Turbo Inlet Elbow to guarantee the best possible performance from your intake system.
Now available for the later ‘WLTP’ tested cars – with the first, and only, properly engineered solution on the market for these cars.

Our secret for fitment on the later ‘WLTP’ 2020+ cars? We have commissioned the production of our very own version of the complex one-way venturi valve that is moulded into your original Turbo Inlet.
Only by recreating this part to the OEM standard can your WLTP car continue to run properly, with no engine warning lights.
Sometimes, you just need to do the job properly!
GIANT TRIFOAM® FILTER
Our unique Trifoam® filter construction is hand-made in the UK for the perfect filtration and minimum restriction.
SOUND QUALITY
Hear the rich induction noise from this race-bred intake as soon as you accelerate hard, allowing you to enjoy the engine’s true turbocharged sounds at last.
POWER GAINS
Replacing the standard plastic pipework and opening up the highly restrictive airflow path through to the turbo gives a worthwhile power gain, especially when remapped.
Confirmed applications.

How do I know if my car is post-WLTP?
Dependant on your model and country, Volkswagen Group made changes to the 1.0 TSI engine to comply with the new emissions standards imposed by the WLTP testing regime from 2019/2020.
If you’re not sure, it’s easy to check.
Take a look under your bonnet. You are looking for the small pipe (circled in the image). If your car has this pipe, then your car is the later post-WLTP engine.
