EDDYSTAR Carbon Fiber Intake Box for GWM Tank 300 2.0T 2021-Present Vortex Air Intake System
Product Details
Carbon Fiber Intake Box GWM Tank 300
,Vortex Air Intake System 2.0T
,Carbon Fiber Air Intake CF-R
The EDDYSTAR Vortex Carbon Fiber Intake Box (CF-R Series) is engineered specifically for the GWM Tank 300 2.0T (2021–Present). The factory intake system on the Tank 300 is tuned for daily driving, but under high-load conditions—steep off-road climbs, sustained high-RPM driving, or hot-climate operation—it can become a bottleneck, causing a noticeable lag in power delivery. The EDDYSTAR carbon fiber intake replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a sealed prepreg carbon fiber enclosure and a high-flow mushroom filter, directly addressing this limitation.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Carbon Fiber Airbox (CF-R) | Sealed prepreg carbon fiber construction; effectively insulates engine bay heat, keeping intake air cooler and denser. |
| High-Flow Mushroom Filter | Washable and reusable; increases airflow while maintaining filtration. |
| Third-Generation Vortex Design | Smooth-bore internal path reduces resistance and increases intake volume. |
| Bolt-On / Lossless Installation | Direct fit to factory mounting points; no cutting, drilling, or modification to the core body structure. |
| Good Heat Resistance | Carbon fiber shell plus integrated thermal barrier. |
- Airflow: Significantly increased intake volume versus the factory panel filter (OE 1109103XKM01A, approx. 308 × 220 × 50–60 mm), allowing the 2.0T engine to breathe more smoothly under load.
- Throttle response: Quicker power delivery from standstill and during off-road climbing—the stock intake’s high-load lag is noticeably reduced.
- Heat management: Carbon fiber enclosure keeps intake air temperature lower, contributing to more consistent power output during extended off-road sessions.
- ECU compatibility: No tuning required for installation; works with factory ECU programming. Buyers planning further power upgrades will benefit from the additional airflow headroom.

OE reference for original filter element: 1109103XKM01A. Cross-reference: MANN C31042 / C37013, MAHLE LX5827, WESTGUARD MA5527, RAF Filter AF214, BIG Filter GB-95169.
This is a complete intake system (airbox + filter + hardware), not a replacement panel filter. The OE number is listed only as a reference for the original filter element.
Fitment confirmation: Designed for Tank 300 2.0T gasoline (2021–). Not for Tank 300 3.0T V6, Tank 500, or diesel variants—these use different intake layouts. Please provide VIN if unsure.
Yes. It is designed specifically for the VW Golf VI (5K1) with the 1.6L EA111 engine (2010–2012). It fits the 1.6L petrol and BiFuel (LPG) variants. Direct bolt-on fit with factory mounting points.
No. It works with the factory ECU. No remapping of ECU or DME is required. A custom tune can maximize gains but is not necessary.
EDDYSTAR CF-R series carbon fiber intake systems have been independently tested to deliver up to 12% horsepower gain over the stock airbox, with improved air density and fuel efficiency. On a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, this translates to a noticeable improvement in throttle response and top-end pull. Gains vary by fuel quality, altitude, and supporting mods.
Yes. It also fits VW Golf 6 Variant (AJ5) 1.6L, VW Jetta 1.6L, and other PQ35 platform models with the EA111 1.6L engine. Some models may require minor modification.
No, if installed correctly. The MAF sensor housing is designed to factory specifications. Always reconnect the sensor properly.
Use a cold air intake cleaning kit. The filter is a washable, reusable high-flow design. DNA Filters’ equivalent for this platform offers 98–99% filtration efficiency. Clean every 30,000–50,000 km depending on driving conditions.
It is a direct bolt-on job using factory mounting locations. Basic hand tools are enough. Installation takes about 60–90 minutes. Professional installation is recommended.
Yes. The carbon fiber intake system delivers a more pronounced induction note, especially at higher RPM. The sealed airbox design keeps the sound refined and reduces unwanted intake drone at highway speeds. The carbon fiber construction also acts as a thermal barrier, keeping intake air cooler and denser.
The main air filter OE number is 1K0 129 620 D (or 1K0129620D). Also compatible with 1K0 129 620 E, 1K0 129 620 L, 1K0 129 620 ZC, 1K0 129 620 C, and 5C0 129 620. This helps confirm fitment.
Limited 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Does not cover improper installation or racing use.
