This product can’t be used in conjunction with FMINLH26
With the interest of tuning the VAG 1.0 TSI engines growing ever more, Forge Motorsport's R&D department has designed another product to extract extra power. The product in question is our enlarged turbo elbow. The OEM part’s design requirements are a balance between performance, efficiency, and refinement. Here at Forge Motorsport, we have concentrated on the performance aspect of the product, which has been achieved by removing the internal restrictions then enlarging and smoothing out the pathway to the turbo.
Several different designs and material choices were tested until we arrived with the product you see here. The construction of FMTIA13 is manufactured from reinforced multi ply silicone which is more durable than the OEM plastic pipe and it wont suffer from heat soak like a metallic product can. With its enlarged capacity and less restrictive surface area it routes air directly into your turbo charger and allows a greater volume of air to be compressed, this has a positive effect on accelerating your vehicle after long deceleration or in between gear changes due to more air being kept within the inlet tract to the turbo charger.
This is a product which is essential when tuning the 1.0 TSI engine (DLAA, DLA) as it was an area where we saw positive gains when tuning the previous generation VAG 1.0 TSI. On a tuned vehicle we would expect to see consistent gains of 3-5 bhp depending on the vehicles state of tune.
This is a straightforward yet very effective power increasing modification that can be fitted with basic tools and has a typical installation time of around 30 minutes. As with all Forge Motorsport products it includes a full set of comprehensive installation instructions to make fitting as straightforward as possible.
