The ECS Tuning MK6 Golf R Luft-Technik (Air Technology) Induction System, is a premium in-house designed engine aspiration product that not only delivers remarkable power gains, but also blends automotive engineering into an artistic canvas of underhood beauty. Our system is constructed of premium materials and utilizes the most advanced development methods available to date. Our system is engineered to fit exactly like OEM with simple hand tools and includes all new installation hardware.
Starting at the front, the powdercoated heat shield assembly is designed to feed massive amounts of outside air directly to the air filter element and to shield against radiant engine bay heat, so only cool, ambient air is drawn in. The main heat shield is perfectly designed to seal the pre-installed EPDM foam rubber edge trim against the hood liner pad to further stave off engine bay heat and to maintain repeatable power delivery.
Inlet air is filtered by our custom-spec'd high flow, reusable cotton gauze air filter element. Featuring a 3.0" bell mouth inlet that smooths incoming air, a conical shape that maximizes filtration surface area and an 8-ply cotton gauze construction to provide the best balance between airflow and filtration efficiency.
After the air is filtered, it is then directed through the massive 3.0" aluminum induction tubing which features an integrated CNC MAF housing to maintain correct MAF scaling. All inductions tubes are adjoined through 4-ply silicone couplers and include smooth band, stainless hose clamps for long lasting, durable operation. A secondary heat shield is included to keep heat soak away from the upper intake tube directly over the hot exhaust manifold and turbocharger.
Throughout years of in-house development, performance-driven design changes and strict product testing, our design has resulted in a highly effective air induction system. Our induction system not only looks good but is real world tested with performance that is second to none. If you expect nothing but the best, like we do, this is the only system for you!
