The IE Catted Cast Downpipe for VW & Audi MQB incorporates the best of all worlds. Cast bend sections enable the highest flow and best fitment possible. Impressive performance gains will be realized when used with an IE stage 2 ECU tune. Lastly, the aggressive sound from an unrestricted exhaust system is guaranteed to be music to your ears. Product Features • Proven performance gains • 76mm (3 inch) tubing replaces restrictive 60mm factory tubing • Bolt on fitment - no hassle or poorly fitting parts when you choose IE • Constructed of 304 stainless piping - long-lasting and high-quality material • Thick turbo flange - prevents leaks and warping • High flow 200 cell catalytic converter - full power with reduced pollution and smell • Metal matrix catalytic structure - • OEM style flex section - allows for more adjustment and won’t fail • All inclusive kit - downpipe, mid pipes, all hardware • TIG welded construction - equates to long-lasting welds that are less likely to fail • Install instructions - available by CLICKING HERE MQB PERFORMANCE DOWNPIPE OVERVIEW When upgrading your VW MK7 or Audi 8V A3 to stage 2 software you will also need to reduce the back pressure caused by the small diameter stock pipe. With the exhaust system flowing better performance gains be achieved. Turbo lag should also be reduced as an added benefit. IE engineers guarantee a perfect fit by designing all IE downpipes in-house using the latest technology. Digital scanning is using to scan the entire environment which ensures that there is proper clearance and that all mounting points are in the correct location. Manufactured from 304 stainless offers a life-long product that brings performance and fun to the table for years to come. POWER GAINS The most power gains will be achieved when the IE Downpipe is paired with IE matching software, air intake, and FDS intercooler. SOUND TUNING An aggressive and drone-free sound will be emitted from the IE Cast Downpipe. This should be music to your ears! Thick wall tubing and cast sections remove much of “tinny” sound emitted by cheaper, thin wall, downpipes. With downpipes, you get what you pay for in terms of sounds and overall manufacturing quality. HIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER IE’s performance downpipe includes a high-flow 200 cell per inch metal matrix catalyst located as close to the turbo as possible. Metal matrix catalysts are higher performance because the matrix web is thinner, allowing higher flow in the same size. Our catalyst is also a very large diameter, allowing a large flow area and maximum power. By being placed close to the turbo, emissions and unwanted unpleasant smells are greatly reduced. DIRECT BOLT-ON WITH PERFECT FITMENT The IE downpipe replaces over 6 feet of restrictive factory exhaust tubing, all the way back to the OE “Cat-Back” rear section. Sturdy fabricated mounts and precise engineering result in a rattle free and long last replacement exhaust system. 3D scanning systems were employed to ensure perfect placement both in pre and post-production phases.

We are proud to announce the release of our premium ball-bearing hybrid turbo with stainless steel exhaust housing for 2015+ MQB platform vehicles.

This high-performance hybrid turbo was designed by CTS engineers to fulfill the demand from customers who desire a direct-bolt-on turbo for their existing IS12, IS20 or IS38 turbocharger. Instead of trying to stuff a CHRA from a Mitsubishi into a factory housing; we re-designed and cast our proprietary STAINLESS STEEL exhaust housing to accommodate a larger turbine wheel. The compressor cover was also custom made and profiled to accept a very popular TD06 Billet compressor wheel, this ensures the turbocharger can reliably handle 30+ PSI. We upgraded the CHRA to a dual-ball bearing which is made from heat-resistant ceramic. Finally,  we finished the assembly by balancing it on a VSR high-speed balancer.

This is a brand new turbocharger; no core or long wait times are required. Simply swap over your actuator and turbo outlet fitting for installation. Software tuning is required and it is available from most tuners.

Features: 

• Complete brand new turbocharger; no need for core to be sent it or purchased
• Dual ceramic ball bearing direct-fit CHRA (compatible with all factory oil and coolant lines)
• Billet MHI-style TD06 compressor wheel
• High performance 9 blade turbine wheel
• Stainless steel turbine housing
• VSR Balanced to exceed OE tolerances
• Compatible with most tuning solutions for hybrid turbos (United Motorsport, Eurodyne, COBB)
• Compatible with OE or replacement wastegate actuators (CTS-WGA-200 actuator recommended)
• Compatible with OE or aftermarket turbo inlets and turbo outlets

Fitment:

• 2015+ VW Golf/Sportwagen/Alltrack
• 2015+ VW GTI
• 2015+ VW Golf R
• 2019+ VW Jetta GLI
• 2018+ VW Arteon
• 2015+ Audi A3
• 2015+ Audi S3
• 2015+ Audi TT
• 2015+ Audi TTS

 NOTE: Always follow the proper procedure for checking/adjusting the wastegate actuator when installing the turbo! Always replace engine oil.

Gaskets, wastegate actuator, turbo outlet fitting not included.

Product Description

THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT FIT LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES

The Forge Motorsport high flow intake hose for the MQB platform 2.0 engines, eliminates the highly restrictive plastic inlet pipe, and replaces it with our smooth bore multi-ply silicone hose which increases air flow, improving efficiency and performance. This equates to increases of up to 10hp which is a remarkable gain for an easy to fit bolt on modification.

⭐ Excellent quality product & easy to fit ⭐

The high flow male alloy coupler is a bayonet type, rotated to the locked position before fixing in place by positioning the hose on the alloy coupler and tightening the hose clamps at both ends of the hose, anchoring the alloy coupler in position to complete the installation.

The Forge silicone hose in this kit has been designed to include an expensive inner liner of modified silicone known as Fluorosilicone.This means the hoses are suitable to be used with either modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology coolants (O.A.T.) but more importantly for this application, air containing oil mist. The construction of the hoses has been engineered to exceed that of the OEM fitments, and will enhance any engine bay both technically and aesthetically.The use of a Fluorosilicone liner ensures that Forge silicone hoses are the clear market leader.

As with all Forge products, this hose comes with a lifetime warranty*
