Clean up your engine bay and unlock the 5-cylinder growl. The Tough Luck Motorsports (TLM) "MAF" 07K Intake Kit is the streamlined induction solution for 2009+ Volkswagen 2.5L engines (which use MAP sensors) or earlier models running MAF-less tunes. This kit eliminates the bulky factory airbox and provides a smooth, uninterrupted 3-inch airflow path for maximum throttle response and sound.
Engineered and manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, this system is 3D-printed from Zyltech Glass Fiber-Reinforced ASA, ensuring your intake stays cool and rigid when the competition melts.
The "Glass Fiber ASA" Advantage: Defeat Heat Soak
Metal intakes get hot—fast. Our intake pipe is made from advanced Glass Fiber ASA, which acts as a thermal insulator rather than a conductor. This keeps your intake air temperatures (IATs) significantly lower than aluminum or steel alternatives, preventing power loss from heat soak in traffic or on the track.
Heat Deflection: Rated for 97–99°C (206–210°F), this material withstands extreme engine bay temperatures without softening or warping.
Structural Rigidity: Reinforced with 15% Glass Fiber, the pipe is incredibly stiff (Young's Modulus: 2540–2890 MPa), ensuring it won't collapse under the high vacuum of a wide-open throttle pull.
Chemical Resistant: Impervious to oil, gas, and UV radiation, ensuring a long service life under the hood.
Key Features
"No MAF" Design: Features a continuous 3-inch smooth-bore pipe with no Mass Air Flow sensor mount. Perfect for 2009+ MAP-based engines or 2006–2008 cars with MAF-less software.
Integrated Heat Shield: Includes a custom-designed Glass Fiber ASA heat shield that blocks radiant heat from the engine block and headers.
Factory-Plus Finish: The matte black, textured surface provides a high-end, OEM-style appearance that blends perfectly with your engine bay plastics.
Plug-and-Play Ports: Integrated connectors for your factory SAI (Secondary Air Injection) and PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) lines—no zip ties or sketchy adapters needed.
