AIRTEC Motorsport EA888 Gen 3 MQB Turbo Inlet/Induction Elbow Pipe - High-Flow Pro-Series Black - Fits VW Golf GTI/R Mk7 Mk7.5, Audi S3/A3 8V, Seat Leon Cupra, Skoda Octavia vRS - Direct-Fit Intake Upgrade

AIRTEC Motorsport high-flow turbo entry elbow for the VAG MQB 2.0 TSI TFSI Gen 3 platform is the simple bolt-on that frees up intake airflow, sharpens spool, and gives your turbocharger a cleaner, less restrictive path into the compressor. It replaces the narrow factory adaptor with a larger-bore, direct-fit solution that supports both standard and tuned cars while keeping an understated OEM-plus look in Pro-Series Black.

Why enthusiasts choose this upgrade

• Big-bore internal diameter for noticeably improved intake flow
• Straight swap for the factory turbo inlet piece with no cutting
• Smoother, quicker turbo response and a crisper induction note
• Great foundation for future mods like an intake kit or performance panel filter
• Supplied with a fresh O-ring to ensure a reliable airtight seal
• Stealth Pro-Series Black finish for that factory-plus aesthetic

Real-world results you can feel

On MQB 2.0 TSI cars, the stock turbo mouthpiece is a known bottleneck. This enlarged inlet adaptor reduces restriction right at the compressor entry, helping the turbo breathe easier for better throttle response and a more eager pull through the rev range. It pairs brilliantly with a cold air intake or upgraded airbox and is equally at home on a daily driver or a remapped build.
