Overview
The last restriction before the turbo.
Everything upstream of the compressor can be perfect and it won't matter if the final pipe is a necked-down piece of plastic. That's what VW fits from the factory, and it's what this replaces.
The Pipe
70mm, mandrel bent, full diameter throughout.
Mandrel bending keeps the tube from flattening where it turns, so the cross-section you start with is the cross-section the turbo actually sees. The stock plastic piece pinches through its bends — that's where most of the loss lives.
The Flange
Billet 6061 with the velocity stack machined in.
Instead of air tumbling off a square edge as it enters the compressor, the stack gives it a radiused lead-in. Cleaner entry means less turbulence right where the wheel is doing its work, and a measurable jump in flow.
The Install
Reuses the factory mounting bolt.
Genuine bolt-on — no drilling, no adapters, nothing permanent. Budget an hour, take your time getting the billet PCV fitting seated square, and it goes back to stock any time you want. No tune required either way.
The Finish
Type III hard anodized, made in Camarillo.
Black hard anodizing holds up to underhood heat and handling without going chalky. NEUSPEED designs, machines and finishes these in California — the part in the photos is the part you get.
Fitment
Will it fit?
Covers most of the EA888 Gen3 MQB range. Transition-year cars can go either way — check the engine code on the driver's door jamb sticker, or send us your VIN and we'll confirm before you order.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need a tune to run this?
No. It's a flow improvement on a stock sensor setup, so it works fine on a factory ECU. It also gives a tuned car more room to work with — there's no stage requirement either way.
Will it fit my MK8 GTI or Golf R?
No. MK8 cars run the EA888 EVO4 engine with a different turbo and inlet geometry. Message us and we'll point you at the right kit for an EVO4 car.
How long does the install take?
About an hour with hand tools. The stock mounting bolt is reused, so there's no drilling or adapters — just take your time seating the PCV fitting square so it seals properly.
Does it work with an aftermarket intake?
Yes. It replaces the inlet pipe between the turbo and whatever's feeding it, so it pairs with the factory airbox or a cold air intake without changes.
My car is a transition year — how do I check?
Look at the engine code on the driver's side door jamb sticker, or email us your VIN at contact@eurowerks.co and we'll confirm it before you order.
What's the return policy?
Returns are handled under our standard refund policy. Reach out before sending anything back so we can sort it quickly.
