Audi A4 (B8) 1.8 TFSI EA888 Gen 3 no MAF 2012-2015; A4 (B8) 2.0 TFSI Gen 3 no MAF 2012-2015; A5 (8T) 1.8 TFSI Gen 3 no MAF 2012-2015; A5 (8T) 2.0 TFSI Gen 3 no MAF 2012-2015
Late B8 Audis moved to the EA888 Gen 3 engine and dropped the MAF sensor — which is why this MST Performance cold air intake exists as its own kit. Built for the 2012-2015 A4 (B8) and A5 (8T) 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI without MAF, it swaps the standard setup for aluminium pipework and a heat-shielded washable dry filter, giving the facelift cars the induction response and sound the factory left on the table.
Best For
Facelift B8.5 A4 and A5 owners upgrading the Gen 3 TFSI the correct way
Daily drivers adding an audible, engaging intake without changing the car's usability
Buyers replacing a tired standard airbox with something engineered and reusable

Matched To The Gen 3 Engine
Because the Gen 3 EA888 meters air differently, its intake geometry is not interchangeable with earlier cars — MST engineers this version around the no-MAF layout so everything lines up and runs as intended. Driving a 2008-2012 car with the MAF sensor? That is the Gen 1-2 with-MAF kit instead.

Vehicle Application
Audi A4 (B8) 1.8 TFSI EA888 Gen 3 no MAF 2012-2015; A4 (B8) 2.0 TFSI Gen 3 no MAF 2012-2015; A5 (8T) 1.8 TFSI Gen 3 no MAF 2012-2015; A5 (8T) 2.0 TFSI Gen 3 no MAF 2012-2015
2012 is the changeover year between Gen 2 (with MAF) and Gen 3 (without). Look for the MAF sensor housing in the intake tract, or send us your registration and we will confirm which kit suits your car.
Is the filter a service item?
It is washable and reusable — clean it around every 20,000 km and replace at around 60,000 km rather than binning a paper element each year.
Will it fit my A5 Sportback?
The A5 (8T) 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI with the Gen 3 no-MAF engine from 2012-2015 is a supported application alongside the A4.
