The twin turbocharged S58 engine is capable of producing impressive power, but like any high performance engine, it benefits from a less restrictive intake system. The factory airbox is designed to satisfy noise regulations and production requirements, leaving room for improvement in airflow and induction sound.
The Mishimoto Air Intake is developed to maximize the engine's breathing efficiency while maintaining factory quality fitment. By replacing the restrictive OEM intake components with a high flow system, it allows the turbochargers to draw air more efficiently across the entire RPM range.
What Makes This Intake Different?
Rather than simply increasing filter size, Mishimoto engineered the entire intake path to improve airflow from the air filters to the turbo inlets. Every component is designed to reduce turbulence and optimize air velocity, helping the turbochargers respond more quickly to throttle inputs.
The result is a more responsive driving experience, improved turbo acoustics, and an intake system that is ready to support future performance upgrades.

Built for Every Stage of Modification
One of the biggest advantages of the Mishimoto Performance Air Intake is its versatility. It performs equally well on factory vehicles and cars equipped with ECU tuning or additional bolt on upgrades.
If your build includes upgraded downpipes, charge pipes, intercoolers, or plans for increased boost pressure, a higher flowing intake becomes an important supporting modification. The system provides the airflow capacity needed to help the S58 engine perform efficiently without introducing unnecessary restrictions.
More Than a Performance Upgrade
Installing a Mishimoto Cold Air Intake changes more than airflow numbers on paper. It transforms the overall driving experience by making the turbochargers more audible during acceleration while maintaining refined behavior during normal driving.
Because the filters are washable and reusable, routine maintenance is straightforward and replacement costs are reduced over the life of the vehicle. This makes the intake a practical long term investment as well as a performance upgrade.
