The MST Performance cold air intake for the Audi Q5 (80A) 2.0 TFSI Quattro (2018 on) gives a quiet, capable family SUV a keener edge: aluminium pipework in place of the factory arrangement, a heat-shielded nanofiber dry filter, and a crisper induction feel every time you accelerate onto a slip road. It fits as a direct replacement, so the engine bay stays tidy and serviceable.
Best For
Q5 owners upgrading a daily-driven SUV without moving away from a clean, factory-style install
Drivers pairing intake breathing with a future remap plan for the 2.0 TFSI
Anyone tired of a muted, plasticky engine bay and after a more engaging drive to work

Why Upgrade The Q5's Intake
The intake is one of the few Q5 upgrades you can hear and feel daily without touching the drivetrain. MST builds its systems around smooth aluminium pipe runs and a heat shield that separates the filter from hot engine-bay air, and the range is dyno and road tested before release. The result is a more purposeful induction note and an engine bay that looks the part at the same time.
Fitment And Setup Checks
Confirm your Q5 is the 80A-generation 2.0 TFSI Quattro from 2018 on before ordering
Petrol TFSI only — this kit does not cover the 2.0 TDI Q5
Fitting instructions are included; if you are unsure, use a professional fitter
It fits the Audi Q5 (80A) 2.0 TFSI Quattro from 2018 on. If your car is an earlier 8R-generation Q5 or a diesel, this is not the right kit — check your model year and engine before ordering.
How do I look after the filter?
MST's dry filter is washable and reusable: clean it around every 20,000 km and replace it at around 60,000 km, so there is no repeat cost at every service.
Is everything needed for the install supplied?
Yes — the kit arrives with the aluminium pipework, filter, heat shield, mounting hardware and fitting instructions for a direct swap on the standard intake position.
