Completely Optimized System
With a larger 60mm internal diameter, matching multi-ply reinforced and fluorolined silicone couplers, smooth transitions and fewer restrictions through optimized routing of the one-piece mandrel bent lightweight aluminum tubing, Unitronic’s Charge Pipe Upgrade Kit helps remove restrictions throughout the complete length of the intercooler plumbing system.
Premium Components
Unitronic’s multi-ply reinforced silicone hoses are more robust than the factory hoses and will not expand or balloon with higher boost pressures. Additionally, Unitronic’s silicone hoses feature a fluorolined inner layer to ensure resistance to oil penetration.
WMI Provision
Unitronic’s Throttle Body Pipe also includes a 1/8” NPT port for convenient installation of a water/methanol injection nozzle. The location of the port places it in a safe location relative to the throttle body which provides an ideal location to achieve maximum Intake Air Temp (IAT) reduction (air temperature cooling) through proper atomization of the water/meth mixture in the charge air, prior to the mixture entering the combustion chamber. A correctly placed bung for the OEM Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is included as well.
Direct Bolt-on Upgrade
Like all Unitronic Performance Hardware, this kit was specifically designed to provide seamless fitment within the engine bay. Unlike its competitors, Unitronic’s Charge Pipe Upgrade Kit includes all the factory wiring harness mounting points in order to provide an OEM-level installation while avoid wires from dangling around the engine bay.
Install
The Unitronic Charge Pipe Upgrade Kit for the MK8 GTI is designed to be simple to install with all required hardware included. Installation time will take approximately two hours including the removal of the factory system and installation of your new Charge Pipes.
