Description
Upgrade the factory intake system of your VW Golf MK8 GTI with the Blue Ramair Silicone Intake Hose, specifically designed for the 245bhp 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 4 engine used in the MQB Evo platform. This high-quality performance intake hose replaces the original OEM plastic induction pipe with a smoother, reinforced silicone alternative designed to optimize airflow through the initial stage of the intake tract.
The hose features a constant-radius design that helps reduce restriction and provides a smoother, more consistent airflow path between the factory airbox and turbocharger. As a direct replacement for the OEM pipework, it offers an effective intake upgrade while maintaining compatibility with the standard intake configuration.
Constructed from high-quality multi-ply silicone with fabric mesh reinforcement, the Ramair intake hose provides excellent strength, flexibility, and durability for demanding engine-bay conditions. The reinforced construction is designed to withstand heat and repeated use while maintaining its shape under normal operating conditions.
For a secure and reliable installation, the hose is supplied with two high-quality stainless-steel W2 hose clamps. These replace the difficult-to-use OEM spring clamps, making installation and removal more convenient while providing a secure connection between the intake components.
The hose can be used with the standard factory airbox or with compatible aftermarket induction kits that retain the standard airbox mounting position. This allows the intake hose to be incorporated into a range of intake configurations without requiring a complete replacement of the factory airbox.
With an 80mm internal diameter at the airbox end and a 70mm internal diameter at the turbo adapter, the hose is designed specifically around the applicable 245bhp 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 4 intake configuration.
