All too often OEM components sacrifice performance in an effort to appeal to a wide variety of customers. While an enthusiast typically wants better boost response and more power, all while hearing the turbocharger breathe, a non-enthusiast may give up these characteristics for a quieter ride. Give your 8Y RS3 the performance it deserves and engage with your car for a more enjoyable driving experience!
In the case of the factory turbo inlet pipe, mounted between the compressor housing and air intake hose, its purpose is to channel air from the inlet hose into the turbocharger inlet, all while reducing engine bay acoustics. With the ECS 8Y RS3 Big Bore Turbo Inlet Pipe, the factory inlet pipe is removed and replaced with our straight-through, cast aluminium inlet.
PART DESIGN
-
Inlet Elbow is made from cast aluminium for maximum airflow capacity, durability and is designed to work in combination with ECS intakes.
-
Compressor Inlet Flange is machined after casting to create a bellmouth inlet design for smooth air entry into the compressor housing. The CNC inlet flange also features OEM mounting holes, it also utilizes a sealing O-ring for perfect fit and seal for precision fitment within the compressor housing.
-
Retains OEM PCV port for a direct bolt on fit
-
Cast mounting tabs retain compatibility with the OEM locating fastener and its mounting location.
-
Designed to work in perfect harmony with ECS Tuning Intake Systems
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
