Ramair 1.5 TSI / 35 TFSI Silicone Turbo Inlet Adapter – TI-008
This Ramair turbo inlet adapter and silicone intake hose is a direct replacement for the factory intake pipework on the 1.5 TSI EA211 Evo engine. It is a straightforward swap that improves airflow to the turbocharger, removes the restrictive OEM resonators (the plastic chambers built into the standard pipe that dampen intake noise), and gives a noticeable improvement in throttle response. As a bonus, you will also hear more of that characteristic turbo intake sound on acceleration.
Available in Red, Black, or Blue to suit personal preference.
What Is Included
- 1 x 4-ply silicone intake hose
- 1 x CNC machined turbo inlet adapter
- 2 x Hose clamps
- 2 x Inlet screws
Why Upgrade the Intake Hose and Turbo Inlet?
The factory intake pipe on the 1.5 TSI is made from plastic and includes built-in resonators that restrict airflow to keep the intake quiet. Replacing it with a 4-ply silicone hose and a CNC machined aluminium adapter (CNC machined means precision-cut from a solid piece of metal for an exact fit) removes that restriction and provides a smoother, more direct path for air to reach the turbo.
The result is better air delivery at all engine speeds, which helps the turbocharger spool up more efficiently. On a standard car, expect a cleaner throttle feel. On a tuned or remapped car, freeing up the intake can make a meaningful difference, as the engine is already being asked to move more air and every restriction counts.
Ramair has been developing induction products for many years. Their approach is straightforward – if a product does not deliver a genuine improvement on the vehicle it is designed for, they will not produce it. That makes this a practical upgrade rather than a cosmetic one.
