JM Turbo For VW Hose Jetta Golf Beetle Audi TT Volkswagen Silicone Hose 1.8T MK4 Turbo Inlet Air Intake Hose Kit RED New

It was a good part

Expect to spend more money to get this to fit. Had to pay an extra $30 on hoses, adapters and plugs. But it did fit and work on my 2000 1.8t beetle

Fits really well and seemingly good quality - time will tell, but I'm happy with it for my 2000 audi TT

I have used several turbo inlet pipes over the years for different cars and never had a problem. I’ve installed forge TIPs on 2 gti ans a golf and a Jetta and never had an issue. So I decided to try the cheap route this time and went for a more affordable amazon one and got this one for a test run. Upon unboxing it seemed good quality but felt kinda thin compared to others I’ve gotten and the turbo side was noticeably long and had to be trimmed. I installed it the same as I’ve always done and didn’t even make it to the end of my street before I hit limp mode. This being a bone stock car other than n249 delete evap sai delete and a catch can install. I thought dam I must have forgot a clamp or forgot a boost hose and investigated. Retightened everything and boom limp mode again with a p1297 pressure drop code. Now I think any vw guy knows about the pancake pipe and the leaky intercooler and notorious cracked hose locations so we went on the hunt for the leak. After a full pressure and smoke test we found no leak. I thought for sure it was something wrong with a discharge pipe or a coupler so we replaced the smic with a forge one replaced the map sensor the maf sensor all the couplers got a new 034 pancake pipe and all the silicone. Got a forge relocation kit and a new diverter valve from turbo smart. New coil packs and plugs and changed the oil cuz why not. Went for a ride and boom p1297 and limp mode. We then called ecs tuning we called forge Motorsport we called turbo smart we called 034 and even called UroTuning and explained our sad story. They all said get a forge TIP and try that or reset your throttle body. We reset the TB and got noting other than limp mode so we got the forge in the mail and swapped it and boom code went away instantly and got my full boost back. We got ahold of forge and asked some questions and the conclusion was this turbo inlet has a large inside diameter and is too large for the turbo to properly pressurize which then becomes super heated causing the tip to collapse resulting in a pressure drop. We did some measuring and realized that the forge tip is much thicker with a smaller inside diameter the Jm turbo is the same OD but a drastically larger ID making it rather flimsy under heat. So 2 things were happening 1 imagine you have a bucket of water and try to suck the water to the top with a hose boom it hits you in the face now if you try this same thing with a large pvc pipe you’ll be sucking all day but that water will never reach your mouth. This is essentially the problem with the large inside diameter. The stock tip is a garden hose and the jm turbo tip is a huge pipe the turbo is sucking and sucking but never fully pressurizing. Resulting in the pressure drop code. Second this thing is thin so under heat and heavy throttle the bend at the base can collapse restricting air flow and reducing pressure on the turbo side. Basically in short spend the extra 80-100$ and get a forge tip or a samco or even an ecs one or something and avoid all the engine codes and limp mode problems. I typically don’t leave reviews but I’ve never spent so much time under my car chasing rabbits just to find out the culprit was Shawdy ripoff manufacturing.

Good quality but difficult to install. Not a perfect fit but once installed worked fine. Not very DIY friendly. Professional installation recommended. Overall, good product for the price.

Fit good on my K04 turbo

Aluminum piece came out didn't hold.
