Aluminum Turbo Inlet and Outlet Upgrade Pipes for VW Golf MK7 and Audi A3 EA888
Upgrade the airpath of your VW Golf MK7 R or Audi A3 EA888 with the Aluminum Turbo Inlet and Outlet Upgrade Pipes. This Racingline Performance Turbo Inlet Elbow replaces the restrictive factory plastic inlet with a high-flow aluminum billet elbow, unlocking more air to your turbo and sharpening throttle response. Whether you’re chasing track-ready performance or smoother daily driving, this bolt-on upgrade helps your intake system breathe easier and perform more consistently.
Engineered for maximum airflow, the elbow features a total inner diameter of approximately 65 mm and an input turbo diameter of about 53 mm, delivering less resistance and more accurate air delivery to the turbocharger. By reducing turbulence and bottlenecks, you’ll notice quicker spool and more responsive acceleration, especially when paired with a high-flow intake. The component is CNC machined from billet aluminum and finished in black for durability and a clean, performance-oriented look. It’s designed to fit IS12, IS20, and IS38 IHI turbochargers and is compatible with a wide range of MQB-based vehicles, including Golf MK7 GTI 1.8T / 2.0T, Golf MK7/R, Audi S3 8V Quattro 2.0T, A3 8V 1.8T / 2.0T, TT/TTS MK3 2.0T (2014+), as well as related Seat and Skoda models.
Plug & Play installation means a straightforward swap with no complex fabrication. Replace the factory elbow, secure with standard clamps, and you’re ready to unleash more air and faster response from your turbocharged engine.
