Product Details
The factory charge pipes and rubber couplers on your MK8 GTI's 2.0T evo4 engine were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels much beyond stock. When combined with power-robbing abrupt and sharp bends, inferior rubber material, and small diameter tubing, it's easy to see why your intercooler pipes and couplers should be replaced, even on stock engines.
Our in-house designed and engineered High Flow Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit features mandrel bent, bead rolled, powdercoated aluminum plumbing from the outlet of the turbo muffler delete pipe directly to the throttle body, along with smoother flowing silicone couplers, stainless steel T-Bolt clamps and all new installation hardware for an easy, direct bolt on installation.
PART DESIGN
TURBO OUTLET PIPE KIT
Turbo Muffler Delete Pipe - creates a smooth connection from the compressor outlet, directly to our silicone outlet elbow. In addition to smoother airflow it increases turbocharger working sound for glorious turbo noises!
Tubing - 2 3/8" (60mm) OD CNC-mandrel bent aluminum with bead rolled ends and Tig-welded factory-location mounting bracketry. Finished in a durable black powdercoat for long lasting great looks.
Couplers - Fiberglass-reinforced silicone hoses provide the necessary connections while optimizing airflow. Rated to withstand up to 250° F. and 45psi of boost pressure.
Hose Clamps - T-bolt hose clamps provide a strong, secure connection to prevent hose couplers from blowing off.
