It combines OEM-standard build and fit with a noticeable increase in airflow, giving more power on tuned cars, faster response and a richer induction sound.<\/p>\n<h3>Choose the right version<\/h3>\n<p>The product is available in <strong>four versions<\/strong> choose the vehicle platform and filter type:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>MQB EA888.3 platform<\/strong> (VW Golf 7 \/ 7.5 R, GTI, Clubsport, 1.8 TSI; Audi S3 8V, A3 40 TFSI, TT 40 TFSI; SEAT Leon III Cupra 5F, Ateca 2.0 TSI; \u0160koda Octavia RS 5E; Audi Q2\/Q3 40 TFSI) \u2013 SKU <strong>VWR12G7R600<\/strong> (Trifoam) oz. <strong>VWR12G7R601<\/strong> (Cotton)<\/li>\n<li><strong>MQB EVO EA888.4 platform<\/strong> (VW Golf 8 \/ 8.5 R, GTI, GTI Clubsport; Audi S3 8Y; VW Arteon R 320 hp, Arteon 2.0 TSI, Passat B8 2.0 TSI, T-Roc 2.0 TSI, Tiguan II 2.0 TSI) \u2013 SKU <strong>VWR1200R600E<\/strong> (Trifoam) oz. <strong>VWR1200R601E<\/strong> (Cotton)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not sure which platform you have?

They differ in character:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Trifoam\u00ae (foam)<\/strong> \u201cfaster, for longer\u201d. Three-layer foam (coarse \/ medium \/ fine) has the highest airflow of any filter type and the greatest capacity for dust, so it keeps its power even as the filter gets dirty. Like any high-performance part it needs maintenance: cleaning and re-oiling every ~16.000 km (RacingLine Filter Maintenance Kit).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cotton (pleated cotton)<\/strong> \u201cfit and forget\u201d. Extremely robust, long-lasting and maintenance-free, with excellent flow when new and a large, attractive look. It has a smaller capacity for dust than foam, so flow drops faster as it gets dirty. An optional foam Oversock (VWR12G7R600OS, not included) can protect it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Main benefits<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dual front air intake<\/strong> across the full width of the car, optimised with CFD simulation (the same software as in F1) \u2013 drawing genuinely cold air from in front of the car.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Polyurethane (PU) airbox<\/strong>, designed in the UK in an OEM material with excellent thermal insulation \u2013 keeping intake air temperature low.<\/li>\n<li><strong>OEM+ installation<\/strong> uses all factory mounting points, no cutting or modification; retains the connection for the factory breather pipe and SAI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sized for 600+ hp<\/strong> suitable for stock cars and Stage 1\u20133 projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Richer induction sound<\/strong> at full throttle, discreet when cruising.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Kit contents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>RacingLine R600 airbox (closed system) with dual air intake<\/li>\n<li>Filter element of your choice \u2013 Trifoam or Cotton<\/li>\n<li>All necessary connections, seals and mounting parts<\/li>\n<li>Instructions for installation (fitting guide)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Recommended additions<\/h3>\n<p>For maximum effect RacingLine recommends combining it with the Turbo Inlet system (Turbo Inlet Pipe \/ Turbo Inlet Elbow), Turbo Muffler Delete and R600 Coolant Underhose (relocates the coolant hose under the airbox).
