RacingLine Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose for Audi VW Seat MQB EA888.3 1.8 2.0 TSI Grey

An essential element for airflow between the intake and the turbo is the RacingLine high-flow intake hose. Replace the restrictive factory plastic tube with this free-flowing, ultra-smooth, reinforced silicone hose. Compatible with all MQB EA888.3 1.8T and 2.0T vehicles. This hose comes in a sleek gloss grey.

The RacingLine high-flow intake hose is compatible with all MQB 2.0 and 1.8 TSI vehicles with the third-generation EA888 engine. The reinforced intake hose has been designed to increase airflow to the turbocharger, making it the perfect complement to the RacingLine R600 intake, the original airbox, or any other aftermarket intake.

Its maximum diameter, ultra-smooth glossy silicone, and smooth transitions promote laminar airflow. By eliminating the restrictive and turbulent airflow path created by the standard plastic bellows tube between the intake and the turbocharger, the high-flow turbo inlet hose provides a notable power gain.

Installation is simple: it completely replaces the restrictive factory rear plastic bellows tube between the air filter box and the turbocharger inlet, channeling airflow smoothly from the intake to the turbo inlet. Installation is very straightforward. The hose can be installed in about 10 minutes using hand tools. And the original can be easily reinstalled if desired.

It is crucial to highlight that it has been carefully designed to allow for the necessary flexibility for proper engine movement under load without damaging the intake.

Equally important, the RacingLine hose offers high rigidity to prevent any deformation under pressure or heat. This is achieved through the inclusion of reinforced silicone elements in critical areas to prevent compression under load.

Direct comparisons with the factory intake tube on the RacingLine test bench reveal an impressive improvement in airflow, making this hose an excellent complement to the R600 intake. In short, if you keep this standard intake tube, you will be wasting many of the hard-won gains from your high-flow intake system.
