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 Volkswagen MK6 Jetta 1.4T 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 and sacrificing quality materials in favor of cheap?molded plastic material. With the ECS Big Bore Turbo Inlet Pipe, the factory inlet pipe?is removed and replaced with our straight-through, high flow cast aluminum inlet.?This increases available airflow by +22 CFM (+11% over stock)?and turbocharger working sound by creating a larger, smoother transition between the turbo inlet hose and compressor housing inlet.?

PART DESIGN
Cast aluminum material with post-machined mating surfaces for leak free seals ?
Included silicone hose?replaces the?OEM hard thermoplastic hose while?retaining the OEM Venturi check valve
Maximized cross sectional area for a seamless transition into the compressor housing (At the turbo: 12.56 sq. cm vs OEM 9.61 sq. cm)
Designed with the smoothest transition possible from the?intake hose mating surface to the turbo
Gradual taper from the intake hose to the turbo (61mm ID to 40mm ID)
Replaces?the OEM radial mounted O-ring in favor of an axial mounted O-ring sealing off on the flat, machined face of the compressor housing
Utilizes pre-installed captive, OEM grade, torx hardware
