The factory plastic turbo inlet on your Gen 3 1.8T or 2.0T TSI is fine for a stock car. Add an intake, intercooler, downpipe, or tune and its necked-down design becomes the biggest restriction in front of your turbo. The iE cast aluminum Turbo Inlet Pipe removes it with a constant, high-flow inner diameter that outflows stock by 110 CFM and lets your IS20 or IS38 pull the air your upgrades need.
Long-life cast aluminum alloy with a constant-diameter elbow, so airflow never squeezes down between the intake and the compressor. Every inlet is CNC machined in house for a perfect fit to the turbo, then finished with a no-leak o-ring seal. No modifications. No guesswork. All hardware included.
Flow bench and dyno results, iE vs. stock.
Flow bench tested at 28 inches of H2O. The stock inlet tops out at 330 CFM. The iE inlet flows 440 CFM through the same path.
Tested on a 2019 GTI with Stage 2 hardware and software on 93 octane. The inlet pipe adds horsepower and torque across the top of the rev range where the stock inlet runs out of air.
The turbo side is machined for a true o-ring seal against the compressor housing, with a bolt-on support bracket that keeps the inlet locked in place. The intake side gets a 3-ply silicone coupler and clamp. It seals like a factory part and flows like a race part.
Because the inlet is larger than stock, it must be installed with an aftermarket cold air intake. It is a direct install with the iE MK7/8V Air Intake System (IEINCI11). Together they flow up to 67% more than stock. A universal silicone adapter is supplied for most 3 inch intakes, though direct fit is not guaranteed with non-iE kits.
This turbo inlet pipe and the matching iE intake system are CARB certified under EO Number D-838-1. Install the included CARB EO sticker and pass emissions testing in all 50 states. Turbo inlets purchased on or after April 5, 2021 are eligible for a replacement sticker from our support team with proof of purchase.
