We present our inlet pipe for Gen3 1.8-2.0 TSI MQB motors.
The inlet pipe has smooth shapes and a proportionally narrowing inlet to the turbine.
Made of heat-resistant plastic
Smooth inner surface with proper geometry and high throughput.
A clear difference between the shape of the R1 inlet and the OEM

- The difference from aluminum injection and welded
- A 3D shape that cannot be repeated on welded Internet
- The absence of steps, rough transitions and welds, as well as injection sinks
- The use of OEM sealing ring, high reliability and tightness.Lower thermal conductivity compared to aluminum and stainless steel
- Smooth transition, without a barrel (some aluminum tickets have the usual entrance diameter, then expansion, then narrowing again.
- Our inlet is made aerodynamically correct.
