Ramair Proram Performance Induction Kit for VW 1.9/2.0 TSI EA888.3 – PRK-147-BK
If you want more responsive performance and a better induction sound from your VW or Audi TSI engine, this Ramair Proram induction kit is a straightforward and effective upgrade over the standard airbox setup. Designed specifically for the EA888 Gen 3 engine family fitted with an 80mm MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor – a device that measures the amount of air entering the engine – this kit replaces the factory air intake with a freer-flowing system that lets the engine breathe more efficiently.
The standard intake system is designed with cost and noise reduction in mind, which means it can restrict airflow to some degree. Swapping it for this Ramair kit removes that restriction, helping the turbocharger spool up more freely and improving throttle response – meaning the engine feels more alert and immediate when you press the accelerator.
What’s Included
- Ramair Proram pleated performance air filter
- Black silicone intake pipe (80mm diameter)
- Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep hot engine bay air away from the filter
- Full fitting kit with step-by-step instructions
Key Benefits
The Proram pleated filter is the centrepiece of this kit. Pleated filters use a folded filter media design that offers a larger filtration surface area compared to a standard panel filter, allowing more air to flow through while still filtering out dirt and debris effectively. The result is improved airflow into the engine without compromising protection.
The black powder-coated heat shield helps isolate the filter from warm air generated by the engine, which is important because cooler, denser air contains more oxygen and burns more efficiently. Combined with the larger 80mm bore silicone intake pipe, the whole system is designed to deliver a smoother, less obstructed path for air to travel from outside the engine bay into the turbo and engine.
You’ll also notice an improvement in induction and turbo sound – the characteristic whoosh and spool of the turbocharger becomes more audible, which many drivers enjoy as part of a sportier driving experience.
Fitment
This kit is designed for VW Group vehicles fitted with the 1.9 or 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3 engine with an 80mm MAF sensor. Compatible vehicles include models from the MK5 platform (2004-2011) and Gen 3 versions of the Scirocco and Jetta fitted with the 2.0T EA888 engine. Always confirm compatibility before purchasing – use the vehicle lookup tool on this site or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for the full list of compatible makes, models, and engine variants.
Installation is designed to be straightforward using the included hardware and instructions, making it a practical choice whether you’re fitting it yourself or having it done by a workshop.
