Racingline Turbo Inlet Hose / MQB / EA888.3 1.8 & 2.0 TSI

RacingLine Performance High-Flow Turbo Inlet Hose is designed for all MQB 1.8 and 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen.3 vehicles and is a key upgrade for improved airflow to the turbocharger.

The reinforced silicone inlet hose is the perfect addition to both the R600 Cold Air Intake and the original airbox system.

🔧 What does it replace?

This hose completely replaces the factory rear plastic pipe between:
➡️ the airbox
➡️ the turbocharger inlet

The OEM pipe is:
❌ narrow
❌ ribbed
❌ severely restricts airflow

⚙️ Better flow, without compromise

The RacingLine Turbo Inlet Hose is:

• 💨 with a larger inner diameter

• 🔄 with a smooth inner surface for minimal turbulence

• 🧵 reinforced silicone, which allows for normal engine movement

• 🛡️ flexible enough so as not to stress the intake system

📊 Real-world measured results

Flow bench tests show:
📈 significantly higher airflow compared to the factory pipe

This makes the hose:
✅ an ideal addition to the R600 Intake
✅ a mandatory upgrade with an already installed high-flow intake
