The RacingLine Trifoam® High Flow Panel Filter is an ideal upgrade for MQB 2.0 TSI, 2.0 TDI, and 1.8 TSI engines. This filter utilizes the same high-quality filter material found in full intake systems, providing a straightforward drop-in replacement for the factory paper filter. It enhances engine efficiency, making it a perfect match for both stock engines and those with Stage 1 calibrations.
This warranty-friendly upgrade allows your engine to breathe better and operate more efficiently. The High-Flow Panel Air Filter is compatible with all 'MQB' 2.0 & 1.8 TSI vehicles equipped with the EA888.3 engine, including models like the Golf 7 R, Golf 7 GTI, and Audi S3 8V, as well as various 2.0 TDI models. It replaces the restrictive factory paper filters with a reusable, high-flow, triple-layer Trifoam® filter, making it the best panel air filter available.
Designed to meet OEM standards, this filter is hand-made in the UK, ensuring a perfect fit and durability. It features a stainless steel open mesh and a poured polyurethane moulded seal, providing an airtight fit against the standard airbox.
By eliminating the restrictions of the standard paper filter, the RacingLine Panel Filter allows for a small yet significant increase in airflow to the turbo. This improved airflow contributes to enhanced engine performance, power, and fuel economy. The Trifoam® material offers exceptional filtration, utilizing technology similar to that found in F1 engines. Testing has shown that it can provide an additional 15NM of torque on a standard 2.0 TSI engine, delivering a worthwhile performance boost.
