With the success of turbo inlet adaptors for a number of platforms and engine configurations, Forge Motorsport took the opportunity to further their product range for the VW MK8 GTI and looked to see if they could improve on the air flow to the turbo charger. Upon their investigation, they could see that the OEM turbo adaptor was restrictive and was an area in need for improvement. Therefore, Forge Motorsport's highly skilled development team got to work designing a solution to maximize the capacity by utilizing their CAD system and physical prototypes.
The OEM plastic turbo inlet includes a ribbed hose that also disturbs the air flow within the inlet tract, this OEM part has a detrimental effect to the engines performance especially when tuned. For the best possible gains, we have included a smooth silicone inlet hose that is included in the kit and meets the forge turbo elbow seamlessly, this product not only enhances the look of your vehicles engine bay, the TIA6 inlet elbow and hose will also increase the volume and air flow significantly. This ensures the transition is as smooth as possible from the inlet tract to the turbo.
During independent testing on a stock vehicle, Forge Motorsport found the throttle response to be increased with a gain of 12NM torque between 2000RPM and 2400RPM while holding noticeable smoother torque figure to just over 3300RPM along with a slight increase of BHP at 5300RPM, These figures can be expected to increase the more the vehicle is tuned and will typically produce a gain of around 7 BHP on stage 1 tuned vehicles. This is because at the entry point to the inlet elbow the surface area has been increased by 30%.
When combined with an upgraded turbo muffler delete, the turbo charger works more freely and should certainly be considered as one of the first two modifications to carry out on the new 2.0T TSI EA888 GEN4 engine. Replaces the OEM part number 5WA.129.635
- The Forge silicone hose in this kit has been designed to include an expensive inner liner of modified silicone known as Fluorosilicone.
- This means the hose is suitable to be used with either modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology coolants (O.A.T.) or air containing oil mist.
- The construction of the hose has been engineered to exceed that of the OEM fitments, and will enhance any engine bay both technically and aesthetically
- Increased capacity
- No check engine lights (CEL)
- Increased air flow
- Lifetime warranty*
Fitment/Applications:
- 2022+ VW Mk8 GTI 2.0T (with engine code DNP)
