Golf R turbo inlet, for EA888.3 2.0TFSI engines found in e.g. Golf R, Audi A3 / S3, Seat Cupra and various Skoda models. These engines come with a competitive performance and great potential for further tuning. EA888.3 platform is known to benefit exceptionally well from air intake modifications, which makes an upgraded intake the first step on your journey with your Golf R, Audi S3 or whichever of the models you’ve went with.
Let’s not forget the feeling, these vehicles are bought for pleasure. With upgraded intake you’ll be able to hear your air intake and turbo spool with new aggressive note. Spool up!
This item is typically used to complete the main IE air intake kit, but can be used separately as well.
Compatible with various other 2.0T powered MQB platform vehicles such as Audi A3, VW GTI, Seat Leon, Skoda Superb. Don’t hesitate to ask for advice.
EA888.3 intake can be pictured in few different sections combined together:
- Air scoop behind your front grill. Collects fresh air mass and leads it to your air filter box.
- Air filter box and air filter element
- Intake hose between air filter box and turbo inlet
- Turbo inlet elbow, a 90-degree piece that leads airflow to your IS38 turbo compressor.
While all of these are beneficial upgrades, the most critical ones are the filter box and the turbo inlet. With these the gains can be up to 10 to 20hp compared to stock intake, depending on your setup.
So, how much of a difference?
Let’s bring in the numbers. As we can see, while the intake itself is important, the turbo inlet is very much needed to release all the potential. Air can only flow as much as the bottleneck in it’s route allows.
