do88 VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen4 (245hp) Inlet Hose

The efficiency of a turbocharged engine is under direct influence of intake air temperature (IAT) and backpressure in the system. A crucial aspect, yet often overlooked, is having sufficient airflow before the compressor to avoid surge, less vacuum and colder air enables the turbo to produce a greater mass of air, which ultimately means more air to the intake, summing up to noticeable power gains.

do88's Performance Turbo Inlet is designed for an easy drop-in fitment on the 245hp variant of the VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen4. Independent testing confirmed airflow of 717 CFM at 0.1 bar/1.45psi pressure drop, versus the OE's 587 CFM, a genuine 22% higher airflow. The kit includes a 3D freeform-designed inlet hose made from the finest silicone, paired with a CNC-machined turbo inlet adapter for a precise fit.

Please select your finish at checkout: black (kit241S) or blue (kit241B), no performance difference between the two, purely a styling choice.
