Description
Unlock greater performance and airflow with the USP Motorsports Tear-Duct Direct Flow Intake System, a fully enclosed cold air intake solution specifically engineered for Volkswagen’s 1.8T and 2.0T Gen 3 EA888 engines. Designed to enhance both horsepower and engine responsiveness, this system transforms the intake pathway into a direct, high-velocity air channel, drawing cool, dense air straight from the front grille to your turbocharger.
This intake system begins with a robust 3” aluminum turbo inlet pipe, replacing the OEM plastic hose to improve airflow smoothness and structural integrity. It then feeds into a sealed carbon fiber air filter canister—an elegant yet functional component that provides exceptional airflow filtration while elevating the look under the hood.
At the heart of the system is USP’s patent-pending Tear-Duct air scoop, an advanced aerodynamic intake duct that captures and compresses ambient air using a "tear-drop" shape to increase intake pressure and velocity. The result is improved turbo efficiency, lower intake air temperatures, and a deeper induction sound—all while maintaining a clean, OEM-style aesthetic.
Dyno-proven gains of 8–16 WHP and 10–16 lb-ft of torque are achievable on stock vehicles, with even more significant improvements on modified setups. Whether you’re enhancing drivability or optimizing airflow for tuned performance, this system offers a smart and stylish upgrade.
