ECS Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose 2.0T
(2)
The corrugated turbo inlet hose found in the OEM air intake system was not designed for performance or modifications. It was designed to get the job done, and when adding a performance filter, intake, or tune the stock inlet hose can start to show its weaknesses when suction from the turbocharger is increased.
The ECS Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose for the VW 2018+ Tiguan MQB was designed in-house with a high-quality 4-ply reinforced construction to provide a strong but flexible structure and secure fit. Smooth bends and internal walls with a counterbored outlet provides unimpeded airflow, while the smooth, gloss black exterior adds an appearance upgrade to any engine bay.
PART DESIGN
Designed and engineered in-house to replace the flimsy accordion turbo inlet hose
Made from heavy-duty, 4-ply fiberglass reinforced silicone, which can handle higher temperatures and greater suction than the stock, corrugated plastic hose
Smooth bends and internal walls to reduce turbulent airflow
Counterbored on the turbo inlet hard pipe side for the smoothest transition possible
Gradual taper from the larger diameter of the airbox outlet to the smaller diameter of the turbo inlet hard pipe
Includes smooth-band, German-style stainless steel hose clamps
Designed to resist oil and fuel degradation and tested up to continuous 250° Fahrenheit operating temperature
