Product Information
Full details
The MST Performance Induction Kit is designed for automotive enthusiasts looking to improve their vehicle's throttle response and engine performance through optimized airflow. It replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow cone filter and custom piping, delivering increased horsepower and a more aggressive intake sound. While it offers significant performance gains, users should note that the increased intake volume will result in more audible engine noise compared to the stock setup.

FAQs
Do I need a custom ECU tune after installing this intake?
While the kit is designed to work with the factory ECU, a custom tune can often extract further performance gains and optimize fuel maps.
How often should I clean the air filter?
It is recommended to inspect the filter every 5,000 miles, cleaning it more frequently if you drive in dusty or debris-heavy environments.
Will this intake system void my vehicle's warranty?
Warranty policies vary by manufacturer and dealer. It is recommended to check with your local service center regarding aftermarket intake modifications.
Is this kit compatible with other engine modifications?
Yes, this induction kit is designed to complement other performance upgrades like exhaust systems or intercooler upgrades by providing better airflow.
Can I wash the dry synthetic filter with water?
It is best to stick to dry cleaning methods like compressed air. If water is used, ensure the filter is 100% dry before reinstalling.
Troubleshooting
Check Engine Light (CEL) appears after installation
Verify that all mass airflow (MAF) sensors are connected properly and that all intake hoses are tightly clamped with no air leaks.
Engine feels sluggish or has a rough idle
Double-check for any loose connections or air leaks downstream of the MAF sensor, as unmetered air can cause poor engine performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the MST-VW-MK704 is designed to be a direct-fit process, utilizing existing mounting points in the engine bay. It is recommended to have basic automotive tools on hand, such as screwdrivers, pliers, and a socket set. Before starting, ensure the engine is cool to the touch to avoid burns.
- Remove the factory airbox and intake plumbing carefully.
- Install the provided heatshield according to the included mounting points.
- Secure the custom piping and attach the high-flow cone filter.
- Ensure all clamps are tightened firmly to prevent vacuum leaks.
To maintain the system, inspect the filter element every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Since it is a dry synthetic filter, it should be cleaned using compressed air or a gentle vacuuming motion from the inside out. Avoid using oil-based cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic material.
