The OEM charge path on the 2.0T EA888.4 is a system built to a budget. APR's Charge Pipes and Turbo Muffler Pipe were built to perform. The OEM product features plastic components prone to cracking under sustained boost pressure, a restrictive throttle body inlet, and a turbo muffler that chokes outlet flow before boost even has a chance to build — these are the weak links APR engineered around. The APR Charge Pipes and Turbo Muffler Pipe replace the entire system with precision-machined aluminum and reinforced silicone hose construction, addressing every restriction from the turbo outlet to the throttle body in a single install.
Installation Instructions
- Multi-Ply Silicone Hoses with Fluorosilicone lining: Resist heat, swelling, and tearing for a lasting seal, while oil-resistant surfaces protect against PCV vapors and turbo outlet gases.
- Smoother Airflow Paths: Eliminating Throttle Body Inlet restrictions reduces turbulence for consistent boost and minimal pressure loss.
- 66% Larger Outlet Area: APR’s 60 mm design majorly reduces restriction at the turbo outlet for faster turbo spool.
- Billet Ethanol Sensor Fitting: A pre-tapped NPT bung supports water/ethanol nozzles or sensors without fabrication.
- Billet MAP Sensor Fitting: Precision-machined construction ensures accurate pressure readings and proper fitment.
- Aluminum Construction: Heat-resistant aluminum replaces crack-prone OEM plastic for lasting reliability.
- APR EZ-Flow Stepped Interior Lips: Smooth pipe-to-hose transitions minimize internal airflow turbulence.
- Integrated PCV Vent Path: Maintains factory crankcase ventilation without added hardware or rerouting.
- Enhanced Turbocharger Sound: Removing the factory muffler delivers a more pronounced turbo sound.
- TIG-Welded Mounting Brackets: Provide secure, rattle-free fitment at factory mounting points.
- No-Slip Bead-Rolled Ends: Secures hoses under high boost to prevent blow-offs and leaks.
- Clampco T-Bolt Clamps: Strong, even clamping prevents boost leaks under peak pressure.
- CNC-Machined Billet Aluminum Pipe: Ensures precise fitment and lasting durability.
- Emissions Friendly: Fully emissions-compliant for street-legal use.
