Whilst the stock inlet is fine for stock power, once you start increasing this performance the stock inlet pipe becomes a restriction to airflow and holds back the potential gains. With the Revo Intake Pipe upgrade, you can achieve maximum performance, by removing any restrictions found in the stock part. The Revo kit includes a stepped Silicone Hose, Turbocharger Inlet, PCV takeoff and a fitting kit.
No detail has been overlooked when reducing restrictions within the stock airflow system. The stock corrugated plastic hose is replaced with a smooth silicone one, reducing air turbulence and increasing air volume and speed. A four-ply construction with an internal wire helix increases strength to prevent collapsing under pressure. Internal steps flush fit against the stock MAF sensor and the Revo turbo inlet, creating a smooth transition between components ensuring the smoothest airflow.
The Revo machined inlet replaces the restrictive elbow found on MQB vehicles fitted with the transverse 2.0T EA888 Gen3B engine variants. The machined billet aluminium inlet securely fits the OE unit using locking tabs and integrated O-rings. The internal bell mouth structure of the upgraded inlet further aids the design of the Revo hose, as the bell mouth allows for a smooth airflow transition from a large cross-sectional area to a smaller one (turbo), within a small physical space. Air can then stabilise and distribute before a smooth tapered transition to the turbo. Removing the internal steps between components further ensures uninterrupted airflow and removes any unnecessary turbulence.
Like with all MQB intakes, a solution is required to couple the OEM PCV vacuum source to the inlet plumbing before the turbocharger. This solution is also very dimensionally sensitive, as the OEM hose connector requires very specific geometry to connect and seal to the main vacuum. An aluminium, 6061 T6, black anodized PCV coupler is supplied with this kit to ensure a positive engagement with the OEM PCV system.
All Revo products are designed in-house and are rigorously tested utilising an in-house 3D printer, the latest CAD and CFD programs, hub dyno and Revo data acquisition software. The Revo Intake Hose allows the turbo to run more efficiently, intake a larger volume of air and minimise turbulence to increase both power and torque, as highlighted during controlled dyno testing.
The Revo MQB GEN3B Intake Hose was tested in-house to compare the performance against that of the OEM intake. First tested on a Polo GTI AW running the OEM intake with Revo Stage 1 software and no other hardware modifications, the Revo intake hose was then installed and tested in the same controlled environment to highlight the benefits of enhancing airflow and removing restrictions.
The results show improvements in power and torque throughout the rev range, but especially in the midrange, which is mainly where you will feel the improvements. The Revo Intake Hose offers an average gain of +4WHP and +7NM torque over the stock part. Increased airflow also delivers impressive peak performance gains of +8WHP @4100pm and +14NM @4100RPM over the stock intake system.
