Summary

If your 2008-2012 Audi A4 (B8) or A5 (8T) runs the EA888 1.8 or 2.0 TFSI with a MAF sensor, this is the MST Performance intake built for it. The kit replaces the factory arrangement with aluminium pipework and a heat-shielded washable dry filter, waking up an engine that Audi tuned for quietness — and because EA888 generations differ, MST splits its kits by sensor setup so the airflow reading stays accurate.

Best For

  • Early-B8 owners keeping a 1.8 or 2.0 TFSI sharp as the miles climb
  • A5 coupe and Sportback drivers adding induction character to a cruiser
  • Anyone matching intake hardware correctly to a Gen 1 or Gen 2 EA888 rather than guessing

Why The MAF Sensor Decides Your Kit

EA888 engines up to 2012 meter air with a MAF sensor; the Gen 3 that followed does not. Fitting the wrong intake risks poor running, so MST builds a dedicated version for each. This kit is the with-MAF one. Got a 2012-2015 car without the MAF sensor? You need the Gen 3 no-MAF version instead.

Fitment And Setup Checks

  • Confirm your engine is EA888 Gen 1 or Gen 2 with a MAF sensor — 2012 build years exist on both sides of the changeover
  • Applications: A4 (B8) 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI, A5 (8T) 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI, all 2008-2012
  • If you cannot identify the sensor setup, send us your registration before ordering

Questions before you order

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my car has the MAF sensor?

Broadly, EA888 Gen 1 and Gen 2 engines (2008-2012) use one and Gen 3 (2012-2015) does not, but 2012 is a crossover year. Check the intake tract for the sensor housing or ask us to confirm from your registration.

Does it fit the A5 as well as the A4?

Yes — the A5 (8T) 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI with MAF sensor from 2008-2012 uses the same kit as the B8 A4.

What is involved in fitting?

It is a direct swap for the standard intake with mounting hardware and instructions in the box. If you are unsure, have a professional fitter do it.
