Unitronic Cold Air Intake & SAI Breather - Looks Great & Sounds Amazing!
The install of the Unitronic 2.0L TSI Cold Air Intake (CAI) on my 2013 Turbo Beetle was a breeze. Other than the dang PCV hose connector on the back of the engine, and the bottom hose clamp on the OEM Turbo Inlet Pipe. Those were a real pain in the whaaaaaat. ; )
Unfortunately, I can't offer any feedback on the CAI's performance yet. I'm still working-through some challenges with my initial Unitronic Stage 1+ ECU and DSG Stage 1 TCU tunes. I have no idea how much horsepower and torque we will gain with the new Unitronic CAI and Performance Tunes. Looking forward to feeling how much faster this car is, once everything is ironed-out. Giddy Up! : )

Unitronic CAI
Definitely worth to buy this product. There was a noticeable increase of torque down low and horsepower up the higher rpm range. I did notice a little bit of a fitment issue with the heat shield, but I was still able to mount it.

Unitronic Intake
Awesome sound easy installation!
-
Love the sound
Awesome being able to hear my turbo now. After installing it however my car lags a bit in drive until about 2000/2500 rpm but in sport mode the car runs amazingly from the moment I press the gas. Install was super easy, took about half an hour.
-
Super easy to install, DEFINATELY WORTH EVERY PENNY. You can hear every sound of your turbo, the spool, the blow off, and everyones favorite stututu sounds!
-
Pleased
Great fitment, aside from the neck down into the turbo,sits tight against the vacuum lines, and the metal heatshield was a little bent during during shipping, but not unmanageable, wont deduct stars for the little issues I encountered, as they were negligible. install was straight forward looks great! Extremely satisfied, would buy again!

Unitronic intake
Thing is awsome. Too bad its not staying in my car. Met too much resistance with outside sources & people that are very intent on not wanting me to modify my car. Oh well. Back to boring stock i go
-
This intake is amazing the only problems I had were the rubber elbow was a little to long had to cut that and take the Pcv of the stock intake( was on there pretty good) but I ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT I can hear the turbo much more and in 4 gear pull I can hear the turbo flutter and every body loves turbo noises plus I can see and feel improved throttle response I have the dv relocation kit coming but I’m runing A forge bov so hopefully it gets louder being under the hood will have a review of that this weekend when I install it, last thing, I got these products whithin 3 days AMAZING SHIPPING SPEED!!!!!!

Passat 2.0t
Awesome intake. Instructions weren’t the best but I figured it out. Some of the oem clamps were tough getting off. Overall great product and sounds amazing and definitely feel the gainz!
-
Unitronic cold air filter
I really loved this purchase, worth the amount that is asked for. Not only does it make your engine bay look nicer ( especially for the GTI) but the sound and performance is better.
-
Great product
Easy DIY makes great sound and idle sounded better after installed
-
Great product. Packaged well and quickly delivered. Installed on GTI MK6 2010.

UNITRONIC INTAKE WORTH EVERY PENNY
This is the best CAI I had purchased for any of the water-cooled VWs I owed over the years. The difference in sound and performance worth each penny. I highly recommend it to any serious enthusiast looking to improve power on your VW. Perfect fit and easy to install. Thanks to Modded Euro for a great business.
-
Love it!
Uni's intake was just what I needed to give my car that extra "oomph"! Pair it up with their Stage 1+ ECU and Stage 1 TCU (if you drive DSG) tune to get some serious gains! Super easy to install, not at all disappointed!
-
Love unitronics
This intake added style to my engine bay performance for my car and a wonderful sound that goes well with my forge blow off valve loving every min of driving with this new intake and install was soo easy thank you modded euros
-
Great Intake!!
I installed this intake on my VW Mk6 GTI. I have to say, the sound is MUCH louder. No upgrade to the diverter valve (BOV) was needed. Installation was a breeze for the most part, youtube videos are readily available for this model specifically! Well worth the money.

'Unitronic 2.0L TSI Cold Air Intake (A3, TT, GTI, Jetta, CC, Passat)' - 2017 Tiguan Fit
From what I've been told, there is not a Unitronic intake designed for a 2017 Tiguan but I knew the connections were close from the images so I bought this product hoping it would fit.
The MAF sensor reached it's connection point but not much slack. I had to make a simple offset bracket at work for the far right connection to line up.
The connection at the firewall requires a longer self-tapping screw and that's about it. I can definitely hear the airflow now and I'm much better off replacing the restrictive factory intake that consumes more than it's share of the engine compartment. -
2013 VW GLI Full Stage 2
I have the unitronic cold air intake in combination with the awe tuning track edition catback exhaust along with a 3" down-pipe and a Stage 2 unitronics tune. I had just finished putting all of this on the car today only to find that my P3 gauge is telling me that at full throttle doing a pull I am only receiving 13-13.5 psi of boost, when the tune is "calling" for 20psi....HELP

Unitronic intake
Very good product, with excellent quality. Sound is amazing and better than I expected. Only problems I had was the front part of the heat shield wouldn't mount to the front bumper on my b6 Passat. It's slightly off so it won't line up with the hole. Might be because this product is made for multiple TSI applications? Not sure. Also it seems to come very close to rubbing some lines next to the engine cover. This might be due to my own installation. I've seen some other people online have the same issue and others don't. Even with these small issues it's solid and doesn't move around and I've had no problems with rubbing and I've put 1k miles on it so far. I give it 4/5 stars due to fitment, but still highly recommend this product!

Unitronic 2.0 TSI Intake
Fitment is perfect and looks great in the engine bay. The videos for do the sound justice; there is so much more intake noise and blowoff noise. The exhaust note seems to be a bit nicer too. Great product
