This reinforced silicone intake hose replaces the OEM part in the intake tract of 1.8T engines. In performance-enhanced engines, the multi-layer construction prevents the hose from collapsing due to increased vacuum (suction effect). This ensures a constant flow cross-section and thus a steady air supply to the turbocharger.
