KyostarTurbo Inlet Elbow Silicone Air Intake Hose Pipe For VW MK7 Golf GTI R S3 A3 EA888 (a set)

This kit would have got 5 stars except the silicon tube was much smaller than expected for a Golf 7 GTI stock air box. Had to use the stock tube, but the coated turbo inlet elbow is literally perfect and you can really feel the increase in midrange torque with just that part fitted and everything else stock. I’m sure with a tune, this will be a substantial upgrade. The PCV pipe fits perfectly and it comes with a preinstalled O-ring for a good seal to the turbo. Very easy install, but no instructions are provided. Hose clamps are good quality stainless steel band type clamps, very nice little kit

This is a true silicone insulated hose which does the job. Worried about thermal conflicts, look no further. It’s a great product, fit it on in 10 minutes. Does the job. Have a 2019 Golf R, and this hose with my turbo inlet pipe and K&N filer in my air, changes my forced induction dramatically. This hose is a must have. Noticed the difference when getting on to the highway the next day after the install.

Fit perfectly on my 2018 A3 with the supplied o ring. Can definitely hear a difference on test drive. Hopefully this holds up well, way cheaper than alternatives that are essentially the same part.

This intake hose fit great and looks great with my APR open pex intake system! It took 2 minutes to install and should keep my intake Temps a little lower compared to stock piping!My only problem is that it didn't come with a sticker! How are you supposed to get advertising out without giving the consumer a sticker. I attend cars and coffees and car shows on the regular and for those of us who do. A sticker could really get your brand recognized leading to more sales!

I like how it freed up the throttle response, but fitting the Constant Pressure Line was almost impossible, the part had too much paint on it, had to use a grinding tool to remove the excess paint from the connector!!!

If you have an IS20 or smaller turbo. It causes a major restriction and causes wastegate duty to skyrocket if you are using it for an IS38 or Hybrid turbo. Yes, this will give you all the turbo noises. My wife’s Q3 and when my A3 was stock it made the turbo sound crazy loud. If that is what you are looking for, this may be a good purchase. If you are looking for performance, this is not the right option. Yes, it looks similar to name brands but for whatever reason it does not work like name brands. I say this all based on datalogs and extensive testing, not on hunch. I believe the bottleneck it caused was that at high boost levels, the silicone starts to suck in and causes restriction. The turbo inlet pipe is better than stock but not better than the name brands. The PCV inlet is just slightly too large making it almost impossible for the pcv hose to attach. I had to grind the inlet down to be able to forcefully push it on. Again, this is priced significantly lower than similar looking products just know that it isn’t necessarily comparable.TLDR; if you are looking for turbo spool noise only, this is definitely for you. If you are planning on increasing performance, buy once, cry once and choose a name brand.
