Overview

It aims to eliminate bottlenecks and weak points for increased flow and improved reliability. The kit is intended to enhance throttle response and reduce turbo lag.
Show original supplier description
The CTS Turbo charge pipe is an aluminum upgrade kit designed to replace the factory plastic pipe that connects the intercooler to the throttle body on B9 Audi SQ5 3.0T TFSI models. This upgrade eliminates factory bottlenecks and weak plastic materials, offering increased flow and enhanced reliability. By upgrading to this 2.5" aluminum charge pipe, you can expect noticeable improvements in throttle response and a reduction in turbo lag. The kit features 2.5" mandrel-bent aluminum piping, a billet throttle body inlet adapter, and a precision CNC machined MAP sensor flange. It also includes a robust black powder-coated finish, a 4-ply silicon connector, stainless steel clamps, and two 1/8" NPT water-methanol bungs with plugs for easy installation of an injection nozzle. This charge pipe is compatible with factory and CTS Turbo intercoolers, and may also be compatible with other aftermarket intercoolers. This part is specifically designed to fit the B9/B9.5 2018-2023 SQ5 3.0T models, including the Quattro variants of both the standard and Sportback body styles. As noted by ECS Tuning, the fitment applications are written by them, and all warranties, product applications, and performance are their responsibility.
