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

Unlock the airflow potential of hybrid turbo setups with this MST Performance hybrid turbo intake and oversized turbo inlet kit designed for MQB platform vehicles with EA888 2.0 TSI engines. This system replaces the restrictive factory turbo inlet assembly with a larger 3-inch intake path, allowing significantly improved airflow into upgraded or hybrid turbochargers.

When upgrading to a hybrid turbo, the standard intake pipework and turbo inlet often become a bottleneck. This kit addresses that restriction by combining a CNC-machined aluminium turbo inlet with a high-flow silicone intake hose, helping maximise airflow into the compressor housing.

The result is improved turbo response, greater airflow capacity and improved performance potential for tuned engines.

What This Kit Does & How It Works

On the EA888 engine, the intake hose and turbo inlet feed air directly into the turbocharger compressor. The factory inlet system is designed for standard turbo airflow levels and can become restrictive when larger hybrid turbos are installed.

This MST upgrade improves airflow by:

• Increasing the intake diameter to 3 inches

• Using a CNC-machined aluminium turbo inlet for smoother airflow

• Eliminating airflow restrictions at the turbocharger entry point

• Supporting higher airflow demands from hybrid or upgraded turbos

This ensures the turbocharger can draw air more efficiently, helping maintain boost pressure and improve engine performance.

Performance Benefits

• Maximised airflow for hybrid turbo setups

• Improved turbocharger response

• Reduced intake restriction

• Supports higher horsepower builds

• Stronger and more durable than factory intake components

Designed specifically for tuned MQB vehicles running upgraded turbochargers.

Why This Upgrade is Important for Hybrid Turbos

Hybrid turbochargers require significantly more airflow than the standard turbocharger. The factory turbo inlet system quickly becomes a restriction once airflow demands increase.

By increasing the inlet diameter and improving the airflow path, this MST hybrid turbo inlet kit allows the turbocharger to operate at its full potential.

Ideal for:

• Hybrid turbo builds

• Stage 2+ and Stage 3 setups

• High horsepower MQB builds

A critical airflow upgrade when running larger turbochargers.
