G7 MST Big Bore Turbo Inlet Elbow With Silicone Hose - 2.0 TSI

Improve airflow and turbocharger efficiency with this MST Performance silicone intake hose and oversized turbo elbow kit, designed for Volkswagen Audi Group vehicles equipped with the EA888 2.0 TSI engine. This upgrade replaces the restrictive factory intake hose and turbo inlet elbow with larger, smoother-flowing components that allow the turbocharger to draw air more efficiently.

The kit combines a high-quality silicone intake hose with a black powder-coated oversized turbo elbow, helping reduce airflow restriction before the turbocharger. Dyno testing has shown potential gains of around 5–7bhp, depending on the vehicle setup and modifications.

What This Kit Does & How It Works

The intake hose and turbo elbow sit directly before the turbocharger compressor. On many factory setups these components are restrictive, using narrow internal passages and sharp bends that disturb airflow.

This MST upgrade improves airflow by:

• Increasing the internal diameter of the turbo inlet elbow

• Providing a smoother airflow path into the turbocharger

• Reducing turbulence before the compressor wheel

• Supporting increased airflow demands from tuned engines

The result is a turbocharger that can spool faster and maintain boost more efficiently.

Performance Benefits

• Improved airflow into the turbocharger

• Sharper throttle response

• Reduced intake restriction

• Potential 5–7bhp gains depending on vehicle setup

• Supports higher airflow requirements on remapped engines

This upgrade works particularly well alongside performance induction kits and ECU remapping.

What’s Included

• Black silicone intake hose

• Black powder-coated oversized turbo elbow

• Full fitting kit with step-by-step installation instructions

Both components are designed to replace the restrictive factory parts and install using the original mounting points.

Why Upgrade the Turbo Inlet System?

On turbocharged engines, the section immediately before the turbocharger has a major impact on airflow efficiency. Restrictive factory turbo elbows and intake hoses can limit how quickly the turbocharger receives air.

Upgrading to a larger, smoother turbo inlet system allows the turbo to breathe more easily, improving throttle response and helping maintain airflow under higher boost levels.

Ideal for:

• Remapped vehicles

• Stage 1 and Stage 2 performance builds

• Drivers wanting sharper turbo response

A simple bolt-on upgrade that complements performance intake systems and turbo upgrades.
