Silicone intake hose for Audi A3, Golf 4 1.8T 150-180PS

Silicone intake hose for Audi A3, Golf 4 1.8T 150-180 hp in blue

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.
