I'm so glad I purchased the majority of my mods for my MK7 GTI before COVID happened, because prices were so much cheaper. I got my CTS TIP for $45. Now its $80 for the same exact part.
So I had this laying around from my s3 for a while now so I actually got this part on sale too for like around $50 myself lol sooo I lucked out but agreed man everything up in price and no sales anywhere!
@@DArias that’s good! Yeah man, it’s just all a crap show nowadays, and I refuse to pay for anything unless it’s on sale now. I just got new injectors for my MK7 GTI. Apparently injectors have been revised like 4 or 5 times since 2015-2021. They all fit in those years, but everyone only sells the “newest revision” injector, and asking price is like $220-280 per injector! I was like “hell no am I paying that insane price for an injector!” So I did some long research, found all the revised version #’s, and started looking for them. After about a week and a half, I got a notification that RockAuto got some OEM Bosch injectors in, and I looked at the part #, which matched the part # on my car (it was a second revision #), and due to it being an older revision, it was cheaper. $56 per injector! Bought them right away, and they work perfectly. People think getting the latest revision of a part is always best. In my eyes, for some things yes, for others no. All it means is that VW wanted to “update” it for the MK7.5 gen and sell it for more, even though it’s the same exact thing. So I basically bought four injectors for the price of one newest version. That’s how I shop. Always looking for the best option, best deal.
Purchased my 2016 GTI, immediately got a CTS Downpipe, CTS TIP and CTS Intake paired with a Unitronic Stage 2. Got all of this for 1500$ CAD brand new. So easy to make power with these cars
@@wrangler0829 the car already had a stage 2 clutch installed. Unfortunately I’m trading it in for a 2017 DSG because I’m moving out with my girlfriend who doesn’t drive stick and she’s selling her car. Amazing driving experience with the manual
Removing cause I gotta check the turbine on the turbo... buts let's talk about why bro proceeded to remove the inlet 10x faster than ecs's walk through video lol!
I have a GLI 2020 will this work on that?! Also is this one of those mods that you have to get the car tuned after install or you can’t wait a while before tuning
Yes this setup will work on your gli! And no tuning needed for run this. Luckily we don’t have Subarus that need a tune for putting a different kind of washer fluid in it lol
If you do this mod which i also have done to my gti, good luck getting it off broskis it is HARD i reccomend it if you live in a state where car emissions laws aren't strict
So for now tbh simple bolt ons but I feel I want a simple setup on this. Vortex standard, HPFP LPFP sensors to have a good conservative 450ish whp which in this would be perfect
Any differences between other aftermarket ones and this? See others for sale but more expensive no t sure if going another route makes more sense or since this is cheaper to get this instead
Personally you won’t notice a crazy difference between all the other models unless you get like a dbv2 or mst which are the biggest available. But everything power wise would be relatively similar
Size inlet and outlet are the same but the aftermarket inlets do not bottleneck in the middle such as the stock one which rescues flow. Now dbv2 and mst have bigger ones I believe 3” all the way through but more pricey obviously
No tune needed! The ecus in these cars are very smart and compensate for the changes on their own. Not even with exhaust if you don’t a catback no tune needed now If you go full turbo back then a tune is highly recommended to get the full benefit of the performance hardware
Allows for better airflow to the turbo as the stock one is very restrictive. You may also notice better throttle response too from the increased flow. Better spool etc
Nice video. However, if it were me, I would simply leave the original air box and filter as it, without having to remove all the silly screws. That way, if you were to sell the GTI, you can re-install the air box without all the bother. Also, here in Nov 2023, I cannot find any turbo inlet for anywhere near $100. When did you buy it and from whom?
@@iankonstantino6648yeah 100% more cold air is more power . The stock inlet pipe is much smaller . Its a Nice upgrade to complete the air flow set up .
Bro I’m trying to figure out how to take the pcv pipe off. Dude just said squeeze it… swueeze it where 💀💀 this sh•t not coming off and it’s making me so angry lol
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!

awesome video. The install looks much simpler compared to other videos I watched. Thank you.

Great to hear man! And yes that’s the great thing, a few bolt ons and a tune and it really transforms the car entirely
How is your clutch doing?
@@wrangler0829 the car already had a stage 2 clutch installed. Unfortunately I’m trading it in for a 2017 DSG because I’m moving out with my girlfriend who doesn’t drive stick and she’s selling her car. Amazing driving experience with the manual
@@RSXengineering😂😂😂😂😂
@@RSXengineeringteach her to drive stick?
Whyd you disassemble the whole stock intake? you can just pop the whole thing out
Will always be one of the best bang for your buck mods for these cars
Couldn’t agree more
no tune is required for an aftermarket inlet pipe right ?
Always crankin them out love it
Thanks man!
I would say this is the best first mod for this car
Def is haha this and an intercooler for sure
Just ordered one keep up the mk7 content bro🙌
Great to hear man! Thanks!
Inlet pipe is such a good throttle mod bro
Indeed!
Awesome car bro. Good install and simple
Thanks man! And super easy
Does your pipe wiggle a little bit, mine has a little play to it and it bothers me
Awesome video bro
Thanks man!
Did everyones pcv pipe come off that easy?!?!? Mine is SO STUCK
Removing cause I gotta check the turbine on the turbo... buts let's talk about why bro proceeded to remove the inlet 10x faster than ecs's walk through video lol!
Bro great "how to"on the inlet pipe install thanks
Where does the pipe under the box fit into ?
I always say that whenever it comes to man the first mod should be Inlet pipe. Good video straight to the point of install
Should be one of the first mods done. Big difference for little money!
Fast detailed and clean. How we like it
Thanks man!
@@DArias np. Just bought a 2016 golf with the 1.8T. Ordered a bov today and came upon your video bc I’m new to vws in general
I used to live in that area we could’ve been gang gang lol. Need to add a inlet pipe asap! Good vid
Absolutely! Haha and yes man it’s a good cheap mod that makes a good difference thanks bro!

What are the plans for this one?

Catted down pipe can pass smog test?
Really depends on your state and the downpipe you get. Mine in my area with the o2 plugged ins sets the monitor no issue (tuning helps)
@@DArias thank you buddy..👍👍
did the CTS turbo inlet come with a supplied o-ring?
Yes it did
how much larger is the cts inlet over stock?
Size inlet and outlet are the same but the aftermarket inlets do not bottleneck in the middle such as the stock one which rescues flow. Now dbv2 and mst have bigger ones I believe 3” all the way through but more pricey obviously
@@DAriasinlet for is20 is it same (size) for is38 turbo?
Did you need to tune after this? If not would you have to if you also did an exhaust?
No tune needed! The ecus in these cars are very smart and compensate for the changes on their own. Not even with exhaust if you don’t a catback no tune needed now If you go full turbo back then a tune is highly recommended to get the full benefit of the performance hardware
New to my GTI, what does this part do besides turbo noise?
Allows for better airflow to the turbo as the stock one is very restrictive. You may also notice better throttle response too from the increased flow. Better spool etc
@@DArias gotcha! Thank you for that info man!
Nice video. However, if it were me, I would simply leave the original air box and filter as it, without having to remove all the silly screws. That way, if you were to sell the GTI, you can re-install the air box without all the bother.
Also, here in Nov 2023, I cannot find any turbo inlet for anywhere near $100. When did you buy it and from whom?
CTS Turbo is $79.99. They go on sale once in a while. I just installed mine and purchased for $64.99
Love your channel and content!
Would you know if this is the same process for a mk 7.5 R?
I have a 2018 7.5 R with a Stage 1+ ecu and dsg tune , r600 intake , inlet pipe , turbo muffler delete . Goes like a bullet .
@@barbabarba5534was the inlet pipe worth it? Also a 2018 R with intake and stage1+
@@iankonstantino6648yeah 100% more cold air is more power . The stock inlet pipe is much smaller . Its a Nice upgrade to complete the air flow set up .
Big difference indeed. Anything over stock is an upgrade the stock one is garbage
Absolutely lol. The stock one isn’t great and super small but def huge upsides to upgraded
It's not a big difference at all for much of anything.
Bro I’m trying to figure out how to take the pcv pipe off. Dude just said squeeze it… swueeze it where 💀💀 this sh•t not coming off and it’s making me so angry lol
Can you use the inlet pipe with the stock tube and air box?
Absolutely you can!
@@DArias cheers. Might look into one for my S3.👍
What Inter cooler do you recommend for Jetta gli 2020 thanks
I personally run an Apr intercooler which is great but overall the best performing intercooler seems to be the DO88
@@DArias thank you 🙏🏼
Did you ever end going is38 turbo? If so does this inlet work with that turbo?
Yes
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!
When we do mods on our cars do we really have to tune it up ?
No
