IE Turbo Inlet Pipe for VW and Audi 1.8T & 2.0T Engines

If you own a 2015+ Audi A3, S3, TT, or a VW Golf, Golf R, GTI, or Passat, you might have noticed that the factory-installed plastic turbo inlet on your Gen 3 1.8T or 2.0T TSI engine is just fine for stock setups. However, as soon as you start adding performance upgrades like cold air intakes, intercoolers, or downpipes, that necked-down design quickly becomes a bottleneck, limiting airflow and power potential. Enter the IE Turbo Inlet Pipe.

This aftermarket upgrade is designed specifically to optimize the performance of your IS38 or IS20 turbo. By eliminating the factory flow restrictions, the IE Turbo Inlet Pipe enhances the air delivery to your turbo, allowing for greater efficiency and power output.
