Silicone Intake Hose for Audi S3 8L / TT 1.8T K04 – Black, 5-Ply
This reinforced silicone intake hose is the ultimate upgrade for any 1.8T 20V K04 turbo setup. Designed for performance and durability, it features a 5-ply fiber-reinforced structure with 6 mm wall thickness, making it highly resistant to pressure, heat, and collapse – even under full boost.
Unlike the factory rubber hose, this hose maintains its shape under load. That means: no collapsing, no ballooning, no power loss – even in high-heat engine bays and tuned setups running up to 2.0–2.5 bar boost pressure.
