This silicone turbo inlet Pipe (TIP) is an upgrade for 1.8T engines and replaces the OEM inlet pipe, which often cracks or warps under pressure. Thanks to its 4-layer reinforced construction, this TIP provides a more stable airflow and greater reliability, particularly at higher boost pressures.
The hose is resistant to high temperatures and pressure, ensuring consistent performance and a longer service life.
