Upgrade your MK7 1.4T restrictive factory plastic intake tract with the premium ECS Big Bore Turbo Inlet Pipe.

The ECS Big Bore Turbo Inlet Pipe eliminates these choke points with an oversized, smooth-walled cast aluminum construction that flows an impressive 44.6 CFM more than stock a massive 31.3% increase in total airflow. Whether you are running a stock setup or pushing more boost with supporting modifications, this inlet gives your turbocharger the extra breathing room it needs to maximize power potential.
