VW MK7 GTI - Turbo Inlet Pipe Install DIY

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

ECS Turbo Inlet Pipe: goo.gl/sGaAoA
MK7 GTI Mod List: goo.gl/WxDTLV
Tools: goo.gl/PJFUZU
In today's video we show how to remove the restrictive plastic stock turbo inlet pipe and install our own ECS Tuning Big Bore Turbo Inlet Pipe. The install is easy and only takes a few basic tools.
By increasing the ID of the inlet pipe, the turbo can breathe easier. This resulted in a nice increase in mid-range power on our tuned MK7 GTI. This is a great mod for someone who is Stage 1, Stage 2, or even someone with a bigger IS38 turbo. The kit fits the VW IS12, IS20, and IS38 factory turbochargers found in the 1.8T and 2.0T MQB cars. For a complete list of vehicle fitment, visit the link to the product above.

    I’ve done a couple of these, and here’s a tip: the PCV hose coupling is a bitch to get off in place, but there is enough slack in the hose to unbolt the inlet pipe, wiggle out the pipe, and once it’s free lift it up slightly and then you can get a good grip on the coupling and unplug it. So much easier, and you don’t have to do all that unnecessary work removing the PCV hose, connectors, etc. Done in 5-10 minutes tops.

I got mine off after a fight, and when putting it back on to my new turbo inlet pipe I had to use a screwdriver handle like a pry bar applying quite a lot of downward pressure to get the fitting to seat in place just hope I don't have to do it for a long time. Part of the problem is it's back by the firewall and leaning over it's hard to get enough leverage.

    Just did now installed on my MK7 R. I didnt have to remove any coil plugs or unplug but a few connectors. Also don’t bother removing breather tube from top engine side, just remove stock intake elbow with oil breather hose still attached and instead of stabbing a friend with a pick, use a stubby large flathead screw driver and open like a paint can. It pops right off after you work around it 100 deg or so. Super easy.

    I lifted the breather hose a bit, loosened that torx with a T25 (slowly) and then turned the inlet pipe 90 degrees towards the firewall and it came right out. 5 minutes. Then, went to town trying to loosed the breather hose until it finally gave, but now it feels loose after re-install. Fixed that with a few drops of super glue.

    As what other ppl state for helpful tips I found that inverting the stock turbo inlet pipe with the connector on and putting WD 40 to let it soak for a sec helps it slip out as well. Had to do a fall back since my lugs on the coil packs were lose and didn't have a special wrench to keep it in place to do that workaround like in the video.

    Honestly not a fun time, but that is partially because I was cleaning up the mess some chipmunks decided to make. Also the PCV hose got all turned around and the retention lips or whatever they are were a pain in the ass. Snapped off part of one side, but it still seems rock solid so... also found out the MST hose is just a tad longer than it should be and this means you really have to give it a good shove to make sure that you can put the airbox back together.

    Just do this model when you upgrade your intake. There’s no reason at all to take off the fuel rail And that step only complicates things. If you replace the intake you’re taking all that stuff out anyway so you’ll have the room to work to save yourself and not necessary headache

    For the goofballs watching this video and making claims about what a turbo inlet does or does not do please just shut up and read for once in your life. In terms of flow you are looking at a significant increase in flow as well as a smoother flow if you also remove the factory pipe. Is this more of an OEM+ type mod? Yes, and you should look to a downpipe first if you're going for big power gains, but at the same time that's leaving the path of OEM+ for the hassle of modified car life which for some people isn't worth it. Not to mention that stage 2 should not be just a dp and a tune because you're asking for trouble. Humblemechanic has a full build for his stage 2 MK7.5 R and it cost over 5k when he was done... I'd prefer to stay around half that for stage 1 with some bolt on parts to enhance the feeling of the car while also netting you a small amount of power in the mid or upper portion of your powerband. mygolfmk7.com/turbo-inlet-pipe/

    It's a completely different turbo, the inlet is routed to the left and the pcv hose goes directly into the intake piping just before the filter box. So in short, no.

    Theres actually a thread on the MK7 forum that goes into great detail about the physics and mathematics behind the turbo inlet pipe and how the stock one actually might turn out to be better due to the internal tapered shape. This allows the air to speed up a great deal before hitting the turbo.

    @@CaptainCandycorn thanks! do you have a link to that post? i assume that factory power without tuning for the increased flow capabilities and higher boost than stock this may be true. However since I posted this 9 months ago I've found several videos that verify there are repeatable dyno pulls that prove they outperform the stock elbow.

    @@One_Guy With a stock MK7, no "upgrade" will increase power aside from a tune. Why? Because the only way an "upgrade" part will increase power is if the stock part was limiting power. The fact that a stage 1 tune is able to give such a large increase in power proves that none of the engine components are limiting the car at stock power levels. Because the parts are not limiting the car, changing them will not increase HP. (Now, if you had stage 2, you may find a small benefit to an intake/ air inlet pipe...but only to the degree that the intake is the bottleneck. But at that point, almost everything in the car is in lining up to be the next bottleneck

    @@fredygump5578 That's not entirely true though. Engines make more power by ingesting more air. Any mechanism used to make the engine ingest more air above 100% volumetric efficiency will have a parasitic power loss associated with it, i.e a turbocharger. Assuming a constant engine speed of 6000rpm., if the engine makes x horse power at y air flow with z pressure you can be sure there is a parasitic loss associated with the creation of the necessary z pressure. Reduce the energy requirement for that boost pressure by reducing the pressure ratio and you remove parasitic loss. The ECU actually has an entire calibration area dedicated to calculating the pressure difference between the air filter and the compressor inlet. Removing or reducing that restriction will allow more air flow. TL;DR you don't know what you're talking about.

    @@grahamek86 Hilarious! You can't see the forest for the trees! If you want a 1% gain, maybe...possibly...if you do it just right...but it is wayyyy more likely that your "upgrade" will actually hurt performance! But gain or loss, you aren't going to feel it because it is so small. Oh, you just want to believe that you can cleverly improve performance with cheap mods? Keep believing, but it is a pipe dream.
