I’ve done a couple of these, and here’s a tip: the PCV hose coupling is a bitch to get off in place, but there is enough slack in the hose to unbolt the inlet pipe, wiggle out the pipe, and once it’s free lift it up slightly and then you can get a good grip on the coupling and unplug it. So much easier, and you don’t have to do all that unnecessary work removing the PCV hose, connectors, etc. Done in 5-10 minutes tops.
@@Andrew-bd7mp...It's do-able but it's not easy by any stretch...it's a bitch. I got mine off after a fight, and when putting it back on to my new turbo inlet pipe I had to use a screwdriver handle like a pry bar applying quite a lot of downward pressure to get the fitting to seat in place just hope I don't have to do it for a long time. Part of the problem is it's back by the firewall and leaning over it's hard to get enough leverage.
Just did now installed on my MK7 R. I didnt have to remove any coil plugs or unplug but a few connectors. Also don’t bother removing breather tube from top engine side, just remove stock intake elbow with oil breather hose still attached and instead of stabbing a friend with a pick, use a stubby large flathead screw driver and open like a paint can. It pops right off after you work around it 100 deg or so. Super easy.
I don't even have a gti but im glad i clicked on this because the noises the parts made when disassembling and assembling were truly satisfying to hear
As what other ppl state for helpful tips I found that inverting the stock turbo inlet pipe with the connector on and putting WD 40 to let it soak for a sec helps it slip out as well. Had to do a fall back since my lugs on the coil packs were lose and didn't have a special wrench to keep it in place to do that workaround like in the video.
I was just about to purchase this off your site but then I realized that it's $55 USD shipping to Canada. Plus this doesn't cover taxes or duties. So all in the shipping is going to cost as much as the product........wtf. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could offer better shipping options to Canada. It's in both of our best interests. Sincerely, a want-to-be customer.
DCassidy42 I find the same thing to Australia. The shipping amounts are very excessive and it stops me making purchases as shipping often ends up being equal to or more than the products I want to purchase.
@DCassidy42 EuroSportTuning or PAG Motorsport can help you get your EC's parts without those fees. I've been getting my stuff without a problem. EuroSport tuning is east coast and PAG Motorsport is west coast
The hardest part of this install is getting the coil packs and solenoids wire harnesses unplugged, including the PCV. Stick a pick in the notch on the PCV connection to OEM inlet pipe and pry up while you pull it off. Mine came off no problem. You can definitely tell the difference with the big bore pipe, intake, and turbo muffler delete. HP's and good sound.
Although I agree with many of the comments that the removal of the PCV breather hose is unnecessary to install a TIP, I do it find it helpful to know how to remove the PCV hose from the PCV valve in case I need to replace the stock breather hose down the road.. and not coincidentally, ECS sells a replacement PCV breather hose for the mk7 GTI. 2 birds, one video.
Just a little tip, if you take the torx screw out and rotate the elbow back slightly, you can get your thumb and forefinger on the PCV breather pipe enough to squeeze and release it easily. Would have thought someone as highly regarded as ECS tuning with golf gti/r would be all over this.
I lifted the breather hose a bit, loosened that torx with a T25 (slowly) and then turned the inlet pipe 90 degrees towards the firewall and it came right out. 5 minutes. Then, went to town trying to loosed the breather hose until it finally gave, but now it feels loose after re-install. Fixed that with a few drops of super glue.
Theres actually a thread on the MK7 forum that goes into great detail about the physics and mathematics behind the turbo inlet pipe and how the stock one actually might turn out to be better due to the internal tapered shape. This allows the air to speed up a great deal before hitting the turbo.
@@CaptainCandycorn thanks! do you have a link to that post? i assume that factory power without tuning for the increased flow capabilities and higher boost than stock this may be true. However since I posted this 9 months ago I've found several videos that verify there are repeatable dyno pulls that prove they outperform the stock elbow.
@@One_Guy With a stock MK7, no "upgrade" will increase power aside from a tune. Why? Because the only way an "upgrade" part will increase power is if the stock part was limiting power. The fact that a stage 1 tune is able to give such a large increase in power proves that none of the engine components are limiting the car at stock power levels. Because the parts are not limiting the car, changing them will not increase HP. (Now, if you had stage 2, you may find a small benefit to an intake/ air inlet pipe...but only to the degree that the intake is the bottleneck. But at that point, almost everything in the car is in lining up to be the next bottleneck
@@fredygump5578 That's not entirely true though. Engines make more power by ingesting more air. Any mechanism used to make the engine ingest more air above 100% volumetric efficiency will have a parasitic power loss associated with it, i.e a turbocharger. Assuming a constant engine speed of 6000rpm., if the engine makes x horse power at y air flow with z pressure you can be sure there is a parasitic loss associated with the creation of the necessary z pressure. Reduce the energy requirement for that boost pressure by reducing the pressure ratio and you remove parasitic loss. The ECU actually has an entire calibration area dedicated to calculating the pressure difference between the air filter and the compressor inlet. Removing or reducing that restriction will allow more air flow. TL;DR you don't know what you're talking about.
@@grahamek86 Hilarious! You can't see the forest for the trees! If you want a 1% gain, maybe...possibly...if you do it just right...but it is wayyyy more likely that your "upgrade" will actually hurt performance! But gain or loss, you aren't going to feel it because it is so small. Oh, you just want to believe that you can cleverly improve performance with cheap mods? Keep believing, but it is a pipe dream.
Wish I would’ve known there were 2 style of hoses on our car. On the Shop DAP video, Paul said “just squeeze the sides and pull, it’s easy” and I now know I had the pressure type hose on my car. That thing was a nightmare to take off by myself. Nice little mod though.
is it normal for the intake hose (which is attached to the inlet pipe) to wiggle some? I tightened the torx bolt on the inlet pipe but I still get quite a bit of play in the intake. All hose clamps are tight, the hose doesn't move, the inlet pipe does.
Can I consider myself lucky? I went straight to the pcv and it took me 3 seconds to pull it, after that just disconnected the hoses and the screw, inlet pipe out, 10 minutes later I was done.
Good morning guys i have a Golf 7.5 GTI with Revo stage 1 tuning. I have also airbox modded with drop filter.... i would like to install also a turbo inlet pipe and a inlet hose ... Should be ok with your stage1 or I going to lose performance, torque, etc? Thanks!
I looked through a lot of questions about it. But I haven't seen any asking about a newer 1.8t TSI gen 3. I have a 2015 beetle and the piping runs up top across the back of the motor. Not like that one. Will it not work for a bug or is there something else I need to do?
Wondering the same thing. It doesn't look like anything's different, but ECS seems pretty specific about the manufacture date after which it won't fit?
This dude made it much harder than it actually is. The trick is to go full beast mode on the pcv connector to the pipe while twisting and pulling. It will pop right off.
Does anyone know if this part carries any risk of voiding the factory warranty? I'd like to get one to go with the K&N drop-in and turbo inlet hose that I just got, but I'm a little wary of anything bolting closer to the engine that the warranty police would take issue with.
Here’s a tip: check with your insurer that they are happy to cover you, I’ve had several of them not insuring me once they learned about the turbo inlet and OBD11 tweaks even though my car tune is stock. If you don’t tell them and you’re involved in a crash, they likely will not cover you 🥊
This is bullshit. They will cover the cost of a stock priced vehicle. They will not cover the costs of any mods. Your policy is what determines coverage. Not what is on the car.
odds are the dealership wouldnt even notice this mod. we do warranty repairs to modded cars all the time. most of the time they have us techs look at the car to see if they did anything that voided the warranty, and as long as they didnt do anything retarded i dont rat them out. i dont care if homeboy gets a free warranty repair, i mean, i would want the same done for me. now if they need a motor cause they threw a rod and i see they had an ebay turbo kit installed at one point, thats a different story.
Made that far more complicated than needed. I took off the intake hose, loosened the torx bolt, turned it back toward me, popped the PVC hose off the inlet and then reversed the process. 10 minutes tops.
I'm an hour and a half in, and I just got the inlet out, but called my buddy over to help get the hose out. Plenty of broken plastic clips now from doing this. Not "easy" at all. Total pain.
Everything I've found thus far states that inlet pipes do nothing for power but simply increase throttle response. Seeing how the inlet pipe gets reduced at the turbo to fit the coupler, isn't the desired result negated by the reduction at the coupler?
I replaced the turbo inlet pipe and hose on my MK7 GTI and now I have a check engine light and the cruise doesn't work. I've checked the connections that where removed in the process and they are all reconnected. What should I look for?
I disconnected and reconnected the connectors I removed in the process and cleared the error and it stayed clear. The issue was caused by a cam position sensor?? I don’t recall what the name was in the error.
Okay so yew remove the intake hose from the stock inlet. DO NOT REMOVE THAT HOSE HE IS DOING AT 2:45 SKIP THAT STEP ITS NOT NECESSARY AT ALL. Going forward remove the T30 screw from the pipe twist get the new one in make sure to transfer the o ring from the stock to the new one. Screw back with a twist reinstall the T30 screw and the intake hose and just like that it's done. This video has extra steps that are not necessary at all and will cause more problems and might turn people from doing it. Make sure to checkout my channel if you guys want me to show u
For the goofballs watching this video and making claims about what a turbo inlet does or does not do please just shut up and read for once in your life. In terms of flow you are looking at a significant increase in flow as well as a smoother flow if you also remove the factory pipe. Is this more of an OEM+ type mod? Yes, and you should look to a downpipe first if you're going for big power gains, but at the same time that's leaving the path of OEM+ for the hassle of modified car life which for some people isn't worth it. Not to mention that stage 2 should not be just a dp and a tune because you're asking for trouble. Humblemechanic has a full build for his stage 2 MK7.5 R and it cost over 5k when he was done... I'd prefer to stay around half that for stage 1 with some bolt on parts to enhance the feeling of the car while also netting you a small amount of power in the mid or upper portion of your powerband. mygolfmk7.com/turbo-inlet-pipe/
It's a completely different turbo, the inlet is routed to the left and the pcv hose goes directly into the intake piping just before the filter box. So in short, no.
Michael Broski from what Ive read the stock airbox flows good. This inlet pipe, drop in filter and remove the “snow guard” in the intake box and your good to go. You can also cut holes in your plastic behind your grill for more air to flow straight to the air box
@@rambow70 no it will not flash the cel, even totally stock this mod will help a little, but with an air intake setup, this mod will be way more beneficial.
I mean it takes like no time to get the wires off of the coil packs so once that's free all you have to do is pop off the other thing and boom you're free. I'm not a mechanic, I did go to school for mechanics for a bit but other than that I'm just a amateur DIY "mechanic".
1:39 “This should be an easy install” 2:26 “We have to remove the coil pack harness to remove the PCV hose” I’m pretty confident in my abilities but to the average guy this would put them off from trying. Just don’t say “Easy install”.
AversaS not really I didn’t do all this take apart this piece and that piece but he is showing u the proper and easy way tho.the way I did it was a struggle but I got it on with out doing any damage and love it
We used a 1/4" drive kit: 7mm socket, 10mm socket, and a T30 torx bit. We also used hose clamp pliers, and a pick. Here's a link to the tools: goo.gl/PJFUZU
Ok in case anyone wants to know having an oil catch can will make this install a pain. I went with the IE turbo inlet the piping for the oil catch can will make things so tight you will have to remove everything and install to make space.
Honestly not a fun time, but that is partially because I was cleaning up the mess some chipmunks decided to make. Also the PCV hose got all turned around and the retention lips or whatever they are were a pain in the ass. Snapped off part of one side, but it still seems rock solid so... also found out the MST hose is just a tad longer than it should be and this means you really have to give it a good shove to make sure that you can put the airbox back together.
ZACH!? Whoaaaaa here after you’re famous. So cool.

Please make the turbo inlet pipes for the Audi C7/7.5 4.0T. You guys would make a killing in sales!
Why not a side by side comparation of the piece?
Easier way to take off the pcv pipe is to unbolt the inlet pipe so its loose and you can directly pull the pcv from the inlet
For the new MK8 GTI,the blow-off controller is 710E which is higher than 710C or 710E.So is it suitable to mk8?

Can you do this on the 1.4TSI MK7 Golf?
Will this fit the GTI MK7.5 (2019 facelift). The ECS website doesn’t have an inlet pipe listed for the MK 7.5
Wondering the same thing. It doesn't look like anything's different, but ECS seems pretty specific about the manufacture date after which it won't fit?
Great, there is one for the Porsche?

Do you have a direct fit MK6 (2010) GTi version??
No, the turbo inlet is cast into the compressor housing. Our intake system for MK6 goes right onto the turbo.
What the hell? Jobe was here?!
Is that short hair jobe!?
Wow suits you my guy
Did u need a tune after installing, like a air/fuel ratio
Made that far more complicated than needed. I took off the intake hose, loosened the torx bolt, turned it back toward me, popped the PVC hose off the inlet and then reversed the process. 10 minutes tops.

ikr hahahaha you know a mechanics “qUiCk AnD eAsY” is any job that takes less than one work day to do lol
@@kylemetts6441 hahaahhahahahhaha
I mean it takes like no time to get the wires off of the coil packs so once that's free all you have to do is pop off the other thing and boom you're free. I'm not a mechanic, I did go to school for mechanics for a bit but other than that I'm just a amateur DIY "mechanic".
1:39 “This should be an easy install”
2:26 “We have to remove the coil pack harness to remove the PCV hose”
I’m pretty confident in my abilities but to the average guy this would put them off from trying. Just don’t say “Easy install”.
My man!!! Zach Jobe!!!!
Is that compatible with 2010 2.0t VW CC?
Yeah it is
Is his watch an Omega Speedster, pretty good taste Zach!
That was a crisp ass high five

Love the content! Question for ANYONE: Should I go with a muffler/resonator delete OR a CAI w/turbo inlet pipe as my FIRST mod? Thanks all.
Cold air intake inlet pipe first
I need to jetta GLI 2023 230hp DSG 7 marchas
Yooooooo shoutout to donut media
How much HP and Nm do you get with this mode? (sorry for my english I am from germany)
It's not gonna net much without a tune mostly just induction noise.
guys should I try to do this at home alone? even that I rally like cars I never worked in one yet, I'm scared of breaking something so... should I ?
Awesome Video :)
Loudest high five ever! :D
“It’s an easy install.” “I need to take the entire engine apart to get to the part.” 🙄🙄
AversaS not really I didn’t do all this take apart this piece and that piece but he is showing u the proper and easy way tho.the way I did it was a struggle but I got it on with out doing any damage and love it
@@Ghost_Shadow0 what do you love about it?
Moving a coil pack harness and an intake pipe is the entire engine?
Definitely not easy for most diy newbs like myself.
the entire process took 10 minutes?it was just a few nuts and the coil harness. if this isn't easy to you then you need to stay away from cars! lol
I’m thinking of buying this for my 2017 Passat R-Line with the 1.8L engine will it fit? What intake system will this work well with? Thanks
Unfortunately, this will not fit the Passat
Loved the vid, defo an upgrade I’m going for, wondering where you got the add on bumper bits on the red gti front bumper?😍
Great video. Looks pretty simple. Can I get a full list of tools used on this video, please?
We used a 1/4" drive kit: 7mm socket, 10mm socket, and a T30 torx bit. We also used hose clamp pliers, and a pick. Here's a link to the tools: goo.gl/PJFUZU
@@ecstuning will this big bore inlet and diverter spacer cause a cel? Or mess with the engine long term
Ok in case anyone wants to know having an oil catch can will make this install a pain. I went with the IE turbo inlet the piping for the oil catch can will make things so tight you will have to remove everything and install to make space.
Due you have one for a 2014 Vw Jetta se 1.8L turbo
No just get rid of that slow piece of shit
Honestly not a fun time, but that is partially because I was cleaning up the mess some chipmunks decided to make. Also the PCV hose got all turned around and the retention lips or whatever they are were a pain in the ass. Snapped off part of one side, but it still seems rock solid so... also found out the MST hose is just a tad longer than it should be and this means you really have to give it a good shove to make sure that you can put the airbox back together.
Hi
