Description
VTT is proud to offer the best charge pipe solution for the Audi 8V RS3 and 8S TTRS platforms. This system replaces the restrictive, multi-connection stock charge pipe system with two single 6-ply, heat-resistant, wire-reinforced silicone charge pipes rated at over 200 psi. These pipes are molded for a perfect fit in your engine bay, ensuring optimal flow and size without sacrificing performance.
Features
- Heat Resistant Design: Completely isolates your charge air from additional heat soak from the engine or ambient heat.
- Optimal Flow: Eliminates restrictive aluminum and plastic stock pipes, reducing turbulence and heat transfer.
- Durable Construction: Made from 6-ply silicone, resistant to heat and pressure, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Reduced Connections: Reduces the number of connections from four to two per pipe, minimizing potential leak points and improving reliability.
- Easy Installation: Simple installation process taking about 1-1.5 hours for beginners and 30-45 minutes for experienced users.
Technical Specifications
- Hot Side Pipe: 55mm (2.16") connection to the turbo outlet, expanding to 70mm (2.75") to the intercooler inlet.
- Cold Side Pipe: 70mm (2.75") at the intercooler outlet, expanding to 76mm (3") to the throttle body.
Kit Includes
- VTT Hot Side Silicone Charge Pipe
- VTT Cold Side Silicone Charge Pipe
- Four liner clamps designed to prevent cutting silicone and thin enough to fit behind the beads on the intercooler, ensuring they never blow off.
Benefits
- Improved Performance: By eliminating heat soak and reducing turbulence, the kit lowers intake air temperatures (IATs), resulting in better engine performance.
- Enhanced Reliability: Fewer connection points mean less chance of clamp failure and boost loss.
- Cost-Effective: Provides a comprehensive solution to stock charge pipe issues at a lower cost compared to other options on the market.
Warranty
- 12 Months: Backed by a 12-month warranty, ensuring peace of mind and confidence in your purchase.
Comparison with Competitors
- Other Solutions: Competitors often offer partial fixes such as silicone connectors attached to stock pipes or replacement pipes that retain stock connectors and metal attachments. These solutions fail to address heat soak and do not reduce the number of connections, unlike the VTT kit which solves all these issues comprehensively.
Installation Guide
- Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and secured.
- Remove Stock Pipes: Disconnect and remove the stock charge pipes.
- Install VTT Pipes: Attach the VTT Hot Side and Cold Side Silicone Charge Pipes, securing them with the provided liner clamps.
- Verify: Double-check all connections and fittings to ensure everything is secure.
