The Revo open cone Air Intake System for the 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen2 engine improves performance and offers an aggressive intake sound. Ensuring your engine can get access to enough air is paramount when increasing power; more air means more power throughout the rev-range.
Only Revo Air Intake Systems are specifically designed to work in harmony with your vehicle and Revo ECU Software. Engineered to directly replace the stock airbox, pipework and filter, this kit comes complete with 2 front silicone hoses, aluminium pipe, heat shield, filter, turbo inlet silicone and fitting kit.
OEM vs Revo
When you begin to enhance performance, the restrictive OEM intake struggles to flow enough air, robbing the engine of power. The Revo Air Intake System removes these restrictive elements promoting smoother airflow. Open Cone systems replace the OEM air box to make space for the heat shield, filter and pipework which joins directly to the turbo. Revo Flush Fit silicone hoses avoid unwanted turbulence at joins and increase the rate at which air can flow ensuring maximum performance at any level of tuning.
The Revo engineering team knew that to create the most effective kit, every component had to be considered to maximise and smooth airspeed. The system is designed with an aluminium cross over pipe to help with the rigidity of the whole system. The direct routing and increased diameter pipe offer superior flow and deliver more air to the turbocharger.
Silicone Hoses
The plastic hoses on the stock system are designed with a corrugated style to flex with the engine movement, while this has its place it also causes a large amount of turbulence as the airflow doesn’t have a smooth direct path to the turbo. We designed the silicone hoses with stepped internals to ensure a flush fit and to minimise turbulence while still allowing for engine movement. The turbo inlet hose has an increased inner diameter that gradually tapers from the hard pipe to turbo to optimise airflow.
An intake system is only as good as the filter. This kit comes complete with a custom Revo foam filter, supported by galvanised epoxy-coated mesh for strength under load. Revo three-stage foam filters work very differently from conventional paper or cotton-gauze alternatives designed to trap particles on the outer layer. Revo filters trap debris and particles within the foam layers, allowing air to still navigate through. The spun base of the filter offers a smooth radius aluminium bell mouth, specifically designed for optimum airflow from the filter to pipe-work.
Heatshield
Ensuring the engine has access to cold air is vital for performance. The Revo heat shield channels cold air from the front intake duct while partitioning the filter from the heat of the engine bay. The Revo Heatshield uses the stock mounting points to provide an easy and secure installation.
The Revo Mk6 2.0TSI Open Cone Intake was designed with a carefully placed take-off to allow the OEM PCV vacuum hose to connect to the system in an almost identical location/orientation as the OEM intake system. Whilst increasing the overall volume of the pipework, the Revo kit still utilises the OEM MAF housing and sensor to ensure proper airflow volume measurements and engine functionality.
All Revo products are designed in-house and are rigorously tested utilising an in-house 3D printer & scanners, the latest CAD and CFD programs, hub dyno and Revo data acquisition software. The Revo intake allows the turbo to run more efficiently, intake a larger volume of air and minimise turbulence to increase both power and torque, as highlighted during controlled dyno testing.
The Revo EA888 Gen2 open cone air intake system was tested in-house to compare the performance against that of the OEM intake. First tested on a vehicle running the OEM intake with Revo Stage 1 software, and no other modifications, the Revo intake was then installed and tested in the same controlled environment to highlight the benefits of enhanced airflow.
Performance Data
The results show improvement throughout the whole rev range, but especially towards the top end of the rev range. The Revo intake offers an average gain of +4WHP, and +6NM torque over the stock part. Increased airflow also delivers impressive peak performance gains of +10WHP @5900-6300rpm and +12NM @5900-6000RPM over the stock intake system.
