High-flow charge air pipework upgrade for MQB DQ381 DSG - Audi S3 8V, VW Golf R Mk7.5, Golf GTI Performance Mk7.5, Skoda Octavia vRS

Swap the fragile factory plastic boost plumbing for Masata’s precision aluminium hard pipe kit and enjoy sharper response, dependable boost control and OEM-plus looks. Designed for MQB cars running the DQ381 7-speed DSG and the EA888 Gen 3 2.0 TSI/TFSI engine, this kit replaces the turbo outlet to intercooler run and the charge air pipe with robust, free-flowing aluminium pipework that resists splitting under load and helps reduce lag. Part number MST0047.
