50% BIGGER. 31% MORE FLOW.

The factory turbo charge pipe on your MK7 GTI, Golf R, GLI or 8V A3 and S3 is a pinched plastic tube with an inconsistent diameter that kills flow and cracks under boost. The iE High Flow Turbo Charge Pipe is mandrel bent aluminum with a constant diameter for the cleanest air path possible. Up to 31.36% more flow, straight out of the turbo.

50% BIGGER. 31% MORE FLOW.

WIDE ANGLE

Stock charge pipes are not built to take what you can dish out. The iE pipe replaces the flow-killing bends and pinched walls with a smooth aluminum path that uses every bit of available space, then gets a durable powder coat finish that looks right for years.

UP TO 31.36% MORE FLOW

iE flow versus stock flow in CFM across pressure drop. The gap is biggest right where the stock pipe chokes.

CONNECTIONS THAT DON'T SUCK

Most aftermarket charge pipes bead-roll the end of thin-wall aluminum, which crushes when you tighten the clamp and leaks boost. Our hose ends are thick, precision CNC machined billet aluminum, TIG welded to the pipe, with large grip-lock ribbing. Hoses stay tight. Boost stays in.

CONNECTIONS THAT DON'T SUCK

FITS LIKE A GLOVE

We used 3D scanning and design software to keep every factory mount point. TIG welded brackets retain the harness, hose and clip mounts, so nothing hangs or rubs and the install feels factory.

FAQs

Do I need a tune?

No. The charge pipe works on stock software. Tuned cars running more boost see the biggest benefit from the extra flow and the crush-proof connections.

Will it fit my intercooler?

Yes. It connects to the stock intercooler and to the iE FDS intercooler, and pairs with the iE intercooler charge pipe kit for a complete aluminum charge system.

Does it keep the factory mounts?

Yes. All factory harness, hose and clip mount points are retained with TIG welded brackets.

Will it fix a boost leak at the turbo outlet?

If your leak is at a crushed or cracked factory pipe, yes. The thick CNC hose ends with grip-lock ribbing are designed to eliminate that failure point.

How long is the install?

Around 2 hours with basic tools and no permanent modifications. Download the install guide above.
