Racingline R600 Intake System

The Intake That Redefined OEM-Plus Performance

Among enthusiasts, the RacingLine R600 is more than just an intake—it's the go-to upgrade for anyone driving a Volkswagen or Audi MQB/MQB-Evo platform. Developed directly from RacingLine’s motorsport programs, the R600 was engineered with a clear goal: deliver the airflow and cooling benefits of a true performance intake while maintaining the refinement, reliability, and fitment expected from an OE part.

It’s no surprise the R600 has become the most trusted intake solution for the EA888 engine family.

Why Airflow Matters on MQB Engines

Turbocharged engines are extremely sensitive to airflow restrictions. The factory airbox, while adequate for stock power levels, becomes a bottleneck once boost increases or temperatures rise. Higher airflow means:

• 
  Faster throttle response
  
• 
  Smoother, more consistent turbo spool
  
• 
  Reduced strain on the turbocharger
  
• 
  Improved performance at both low and high RPM
  

The R600 is built to give the EA888 the air it’s been missing.

Engineering at the Motorsport Level

The R600’s design mirrors the standards RacingLine applied to factory-backed race programs.

Oversized Airbox

A massive airbox—twice the volume of the factory unit—allows significantly more airflow without turbulence or heat soak.

Choice of Filter Options

Foam or pleated filters provide different airflow characteristics depending on driving needs. Both options outperform the restrictive stock filter.

Sealed System for Cooler IATs

Because it seals directly to the factory ducting, the R600 avoids heat bleed from the engine bay—something open-element intakes struggle with.

Perfect OEM Fitment

From mounting points to lid profile, every dimension aligns with factory tolerances. No trimming, no forcing, no compromises.

Real-World Performance You Can Feel

On the road, the difference is immediate. The EA888 breathes easier, turbo spool is smoother, and power delivery feels more effortless. Drivers report:

• 
  Noticeably sharper throttle response
  
• 
  Lower intake temperatures in stop-and-go and repeated pulls
  
• 
  Consistent performance in warm climates
  
• 
  More stable airflow for tuned vehicles
  

Whether your car is stock or running a hybrid turbo, the R600 adapts and delivers.

Why Enthusiasts Choose RacingLine

Unlike universal aftermarket intakes, RacingLine designs specifically for Volkswagen and Audi platforms. The R600 was built for the MQB architecture—not retrofitted to it. That’s why installation feels OEM, airflow scales with tuning, and performance gains are consistent and repeatable.

If your build starts with one upgrade, the R600 is the foundation that transforms the way your VW or Audi drives.
