Description
Upgrade the turbocharger intake system of your EA888-powered MQB vehicle with the Black Oversized Turbo Intake Elbow. Designed for compatible 1.8 TFSI and 2.0 TFSI/TSI EA888 engines equipped with IHI turbochargers, this performance-focused turbo inlet elbow replaces the standard OEM component with a larger-flowing design intended to improve airflow potential to the turbocharger.
The oversized inlet elbow is a direct replacement for the factory turbo inlet elbow and is designed to work with the OEM intake hose and factory airbox. This makes it an ideal upgrade for drivers looking to improve the turbocharger's intake path without replacing the complete factory intake system.
By increasing the potential airflow capacity of the turbo inlet, the upgraded elbow can help reduce restriction in the intake tract and may provide a slightly more pronounced induction sound. It is particularly well suited to performance-oriented EA888 builds where improved intake flow is desired.
The turbo inlet elbow is manufactured from lightweight aluminum tubing and features CNC-machined connections for precise fitment. A laser-cut mounting bracket provides additional support, while the assembly is fully TIG welded for strength and durability.
The exterior is finished with a textured black powder coating, providing an understated OEM-style appearance while adding a durable protective finish to the component.
Installation is designed to be straightforward, with the kit supplied with all required fittings and clear, step-by-step photographic installation instructions. A replacement O-ring is also included, allowing the factory seal to be replaced if the original O-ring is worn, damaged, or perished.
