The factory charge pipes and rubber couplers on your 2.0T FSI 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 Throttle Body Pipe Kit features mandrel bent, bead rolled, powdercoated aluminum plumbing from the outlet of the intercooler directly to the throttle body, along with smoother flowing silicone couplers, stainless steel T-Bolt clamps and all new installation accessories for an easy, direct bolt on installation.
PART DESIGN
- Tubing - 2.50" OD CNC-mandrel bent aluminum with bead rolled ends and Tig-welded factory-location MAP sensor flange and noise pipe connection. Finished in a durable black powdercoat for long last great looks. Tested to 44psi at 0% leakdown to ensure there are no leaks.
-
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.
-
Intercooler Adapter - Precision CNC-machined aluminum intercooler adapter provides the connection from the OEM intercooler "quick-clip" fitting to our silicone coupler.
