About Us

Built for the VAG performance crowd. By the people who race them.

Blaze Performance designs and engineers induction systems for Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Škoda performance cars. We exist for one reason: to give your engine more air, cleanly, repeatably, and without compromise — so you get the power gains the platform is capable of, and the reliability you expect from OEM hardware.

Engineered, not adapted

Every Blaze kit is designed around a specific engine and chassis combination. We start from OEM CAD data, prototype in-house in South Africa, and validate on dyno and on the road before a single production unit ships. Filters, pipework, heat shielding, mounting hardware — every component is selected or fabricated to manufacturing standards we’d accept on a factory line. If a part isn’t worth the engineering hours, it doesn’t get our name on it.

20 years of induction work

Our engineering team has spent two decades on the same problem: pulling more clean air into turbocharged VAG engines without disturbing what already works. That experience shows up in fitment that’s right the first time, charge temps that hold under load, and noise characteristics that suit the car instead of fighting it.

What we make

Cold-air and short-ram intake systems, turbo inlet pipes, charge pipes, intercooler upgrades and supporting hardware for:

  • MQB Gen 3 / Gen 4 EVO — EA888 2.0 TSI and 1.8 TSI (Golf MK7, MK7.5, MK8 GTI/R, Audi A3/S3 8V/8Y, Cupra Leon, Octavia VRS/RS)
  • 2.5 TFSI EVO — DAZA/DNWA (Audi RS3 8V & 8Y, TT RS 8S)
  • EA211 / EA111 1.4 TSI — Polo GTI, A1, Ibiza, smaller platforms
  • Pre-MQB EA888 Gen 1 / EA113 — Golf MK6, Scirocco, A3 8P, S3 8P, TT 8J, B7 platforms

If your engine code isn’t above, talk to us — we’re often closer to a fitment than the catalogue suggests.

South African engineering. Global manufacturing and shipping.

Every Blaze product starts in South Africa: design, prototyping, dyno and road validation. Once a kit is signed off, production runs at scale from our manufacturing and fulfilment facility in China, built to the OEM-grade standards set by our SA engineering team. Orders ship worldwide direct from China, with most international deliveries clearing customs within standard timelines. Shipping is calculated at checkout by destination and weight.
