Show original supplier description

The CTS Turbo MQB Gen3 High-Flow Turbo Inlet Pipe is engineered to maximize airflow to your turbocharger by replacing the restrictive factory inlet. This component features a large inside diameter, crafted from cast aluminum with CNC machined flanges for superior flow and durability compared to the original plastic part. It is designed to directly replace OE part 5QM129635. This high-flow inlet pipe is compatible with any MQB vehicle, irrespective of engine size or factory turbocharger, and works seamlessly with both stock and aftermarket intake systems. The installation process is straightforward, typically taking around 10 minutes with common hand tools. Key benefits include faster turbo spool, increased overall airflow, and a more pronounced turbo sound. The CTS Turbo High Flow Turbo Inlet Pipe is specifically designed for MQB platform vehicles equipped with 1.8T and 2.0T engines. Fitment includes a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen models such as the 2015-2020 Audi A3/S3/TT/TT-S, 2018+ Audi SQ2, 2015-2020 VW Golf, Sportwagen, Alltrack, GTI, Golf R, GTI Clubsport, GTI Rabbit Edition, ED40, 2019+ VW Jetta GLI 2.0T, 2018+ VW Tiguan, 2018-2020 VW Arteon, and 2018+ Atlas 2.0T.
