Too often factory components sacrifice performance in an effort to appeal to a wide variety of customers. A performance enthusiast typically will want better boost response and more power, all while hearing the turbocharger breathe, a non-enthusiast may give up these characteristics for a quieter ride. Give your 1.8T/2.0T MQB Gen3 equipped VW MK7 7.5 Golf, Alltrack, GTI, Golf R, Skoda RS, Tiguan or Audi 8v A3/S3, MK3 TT the performance it deserves and engage with your car for a more enjoyable driving experience!
In the case of the factory turbo inlet pipe, mounted between the compressor housing and air intake hose, its purpose is to channel air from the inlet hose into the turbocharger inlet, all while reducing engine bay acoustics and sacrificing quality materials in favor of cheap molded plastic material. With the FKN Performance Enlarged Inlet Pipe, the factory inlet pipe is removed and replaced with our straight-through, high flow 6061-T6 aluminum inlet. This increases available airflow and turbocharger working sound by creating a larger, smoother transition between the turbo inlet hose and compressor housing inlet.
