Evolution Racewerks VW-INT001B-MAF3 Turbo Inlet Pipe for Volkswagen Passat 1.8T (1998-2005)
If you're a Volkswagen Passat 1.8T owner looking to maximize your turbo's performance, the Evolution Racewerks Turbo Inlet Pipe (TIP) is a must-have upgrade. Designed specifically for the 1998-2005 Passat with a 3" MAF, this part addresses a crucial issue that many enthusiasts face: the factory turbo inlet hose's tendency to collapse under boost pressure.
Why Upgrade Your Turbo Inlet Hose?
As your turbo spools up and builds boost, it creates a vacuum pressure that can cause the factory rubber inlet hose to collapse. This results in a reduced airflow to your turbo, negatively impacting throttle response, spool time, and overall power delivery. The more boost you run—especially after chip or turbo upgrades—the more pronounced this issue becomes. In extreme cases, a completely collapsed hose can suffocate your turbo, leading to rich running conditions and engine stalls.
Unmatched Performance with Evolution Racewerks
The Evolution Racewerks TIP is crafted from high-grade 6061 aluminum, ensuring that the diameter remains consistent regardless of vacuum pressures. This means your turbo gets the airflow it needs, especially when it's working hardest at peak boost levels. The benefits are clear:
- Faster spool times
- Improved throttle response
- Higher sustained power levels
Key Features
- Constructed from durable 6061 aluminum piping
- 100% TIG welded for superior strength
- Type III Hard Black Anodized finish for a stealthy look
- Compatible with all factory components
- Includes all necessary hardware for installation
- Limited Lifetime Warranty for peace of mind
Fitment
- Volkswagen Passat 1.8T Turbo with 3" MAF (1998-2005)
