High Flow Silicone Turbo Inlet Pipe

The Racingline High Flow Turbo Inlet Pipe is engineered to significantly increase airflow from the airbox to the turbocharger on MQB EA888.3 1.8T and 2.0T engines. It directly replaces the restrictive, turbulent factory plastic 'bellows' pipe, which often hinders performance. Constructed from reinforced, high-gloss silicone, this hose offers a smooth, maximum-diameter channel for air, promoting laminar flow. Crucially, the hose is designed with enough compliance to accommodate natural engine movement under load, preventing damage that can occur with rigid aftermarket pipes. It also features reinforced silicone elements to maintain rigidity and prevent deformation under pressure and heat. This upgrade is designed as a perfect complement to Racingline's R600 Cold Air Intake but also works seamlessly with the OEM airbox or other aftermarket intake systems. Back-to-back flow bench tests show an impressive improvement in airflow compared to the stock pipe, translating to a worthwhile power gain. Installation is straightforward, typically taking around 10 minutes with basic hand tools, and it can easily be returned to stock configuration if needed. Fitment includes a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi models with the MQB EA888.3 1.8T and 2.0T engines. Specifically, it is compatible with the 2015-2018 VW Mk7/Mk7.5 Golf 1.8T, 2015-2021 VW Mk7/Mk7.5 GTI 2.0T, 2015-2021 VW Mk7/Mk7.5 Golf R 2.0T, 2015-2020 Audi 8V A3 1.8T and 2.0T, 2015+ Audi 8S TT and TTS 2.0T, and 2015-2020 Audi 8V S3 2.0T.
