The K&N Performance Intake Kit for the VW Beetle 1.8L 20V Turbo L4 150BHP is part of the 57i Series induction kits designed to enhance engine airflow by eliminating the restrictions imposed by the factory air box. This kit features an open-air filter with increased surface area, allowing for greater airflow at lower restriction compared to standard K&N O/E replacement filters. Constructed with high-quality materials such as steel, aluminum, silicon, and reinforced nylon, the kit ensures durability and long service life. The filter captures more dirt and extends cleaning intervals up to 100,000 miles, delivering consistent power gains across the entire RPM range.
This intake kit is specifically engineered for the VW Beetle equipped with the 1.8L 20V Turbo inline-four engine producing 150BHP. It installs as a bolt-on solution, either directly attaching to the throttle body or via a tube assembly, depending on the vehicle’s under-hood configuration. Designed for street and daily driving applications, the kit improves throttle response and overall engine efficiency. Note that the 57i Series intakes are not legal for use in California or other states adopting California emission standards. The kit includes all necessary adapters and components for a straightforward installation.
