Does the Mk7 GTI have more airflow than the aftermarket?
The modified stock Mk7 GTI intake does not surpass the airflow capacity of the top performing aftermarket intakes, but it gets close. The modified stock intake flows approximately 97.5% of what the top performing aftermarket intake flows.
Does the stock GTI air intake improve airflow?
Note: The grate inside the stock airbox has been removed based on previous results showing a slight improvement in airflow when it is not present. The chart below shows a summary of the airflow readings from the stock GTI air intake along with aftermarket intakes.
How does the Mk7 GTI compare to the is20/is38 turbochargers?
All tests are using an adapter that simulates the IS20/IS38 turbocharger housing inlet. The modified stock Mk7 GTI intake does not surpass the airflow capacity of the top performing aftermarket intakes, but it gets close. The modified stock intake flows approximately 97.5% of what the top performing aftermarket intake flows.
What does the vacuum line on an intake do?
The intake is under vacuum when not in boost - that is what the PVC that is mounted inside the intake manifold controls and pulls crankcase vacuum when the throttle is lifted. In boost, the PVC prevents pressure from entering the crankcase port from the intake manifold.

Where does Petcock vacuum line go?
It should connect to the petcock next to the fuel line. You should see a smaller fitting usually on the front of the petcock with a round housing behind it. This is where the vacuum diaphram is. Engine vacuum turns on the petcock to deliver fuel to the carb only when the engine is running.
How much HP does a downpipe add GTI?
A downpipe by itself might add 20whp for $500 ($25/hp), but pair that downpipe with a proper tune and you can net nearly 100hp over stock, and 40hp over a tuned car without a downpipe.
How much HP does IS38 add?
The IS38 upgrade uses the factory S3 / Golf R turbocharger and delivers 351-357 HP! Both upgrades completely transform the 1.8T, adding between 104-188 HP over stock, depending on setup.
Do you need a tune with a downpipe?
Registered. Less backpressure from a less restrictive downpipe = turbo builds boost faster = more air into the engine from the turbo = you absolutely need a new tune to compensate for that.
How do you clean carbon build up on a 2.0 TFSI engine?
Driving the engine at just over 3000 RPM raises the temperature and puts the engine into a “cleaning mode” where it runs leaner and hotter clearing out a lot of the carbon build up inside the engine, so try to hit this sweet spot as often as you can and for at least 15 minutes per week.

Setup
On one end of the inlet hose is the top half of the airbox, this is primarily to help guide air into the inlet of the hose in a smooth manner.
Results
Testing at 28″ of H2O produced nearly identical results from the Racingline hose and the stock accordion hose. The Racingline hose just edged out the stock hose flowing 403 CFM versus the stock hose 401 CFM.
Conclusion
With enough airflow the aftermarket hose starts to show an airflow benefit over the stock accordion hose.
What does a hose do on an intake?
The hose is just connected to the air box to pull (or dump) filtered air for the intake flaps. If it wasn't connected to the airbox or a filter, it would just be pulling in unfiltered air, which could dirty up or damage the solenoid/diaphragm. Unless it's a different hose that is disconnected that actually sees vacuum from the intake manifold it should not have any effect on drivability or fuel economy.
What happens if you don't connect the intake manifold?

PROFILE
The ARM MK7 GTI/GOLF R Intake Kit was designed to increase airflow on your 2.0T by removing the stock intake restrictions. Upgrading to the ARM MK7 Intake allows your 2.0T to produce more power and torque throughout the RPM range, especially at higher RPM. The ARM MK7 Intake is ideal for tuned IS20, IS38, and upgraded turbo equipped 2.0T's.
CONSTRUCTION
The ARM MK7 GTI / GOLF R Intake features a class-leading 4" inlet size at the air filter to maximize airflow for even the most demanding builds. The ARM intake tube is built as a single piece of 6-layer reinforced silicone for a seamless transition to the 2.75" stock turbo inlet or the ARM MK7 Turbo Inlet .
ARM MOTORSPORTS LIFETIME WARRANTY
Every ARM Motorsports product is backed by a lifetime warranty which is automatically issued at the time of purchase. Your warranty protects you against any defects in craftsmanship or fitment. The warranty entitles you to a replacement unit.
Warning
Work at your own risk. This work is inherently dangerous and must only be carried out by a qualified mechanic.
Step 1
Remove the air intake pipe. There are two pipe clamps located at either end, depending on your model it may be a spring-based clamp or screw clamp.
Step 2
Disconnect the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Hose from the turbo inlet elbow. This is done by squeezing the sides and lifting upwards. You can now spin the connector away.
Step 3
Loosen this screw to remove the turbo inlet. The screw does not need to be entirely removed.
Step 4
The turbo inlet can now be removed. Turn clockwise approximately 1/4 turn and it will loosen from the turbo.
Background
Purpose of Test
- This project will evaluate various pre-turbocharger intake components available through the aftermarket to determine if there is a combination of intake parts that provides superior airflow and temperature performance versus the OEM parts equipped on the Mk7 GTI. The project will seek to determine if there is an optimal combination of stock and/or aftermarket intake compon…
Description of Equipment
- 3.1 Test Items
The air intake components under evaluation connect the grill to the turbocharger compressor inlet. These parts are the airbox, or in the case of some aftermarket options an open filter, possibly used conjunction with a panel system to isolate the filter from the engine compartment… - 3.2 Test Vehicle
The vehicle that will be used during recording of intake air temperatures will be a 2015 Mk7 GTI.
Scope of Test

Road driving to collect intake temperature data will take place during a daily commute at speeds ranging from 25 mph to 45 mph. Airflow testing using the flow bench will be done at a test depression of 28″ of H2O. - 4.2 Test Conditions
Road testing is taking place in a geographic area where morning temperatures are around 60-70F and afternoon temperatures are between 70-85F. Depending upon how long testing of the intakes continues these typical environmental conditions could change, becoming warmer as summer a…
Method of Test

The RTD probes will be calibrated prior to testing to an accuracy of +/- 2 degrees F of each other. Airflow measurements using the flow bench will have a calibration plate tested before test articles. The air intake will be configured for flow testing to replicate the configuration on the ve… - 5.2 Operational Procedure
Air temperature readings will begin being recorded when the vehicle is started and will continue until the engine is shut off. The difference between temperature probe one and two will be calculated and will be used as the basis for assessing the ability of the air intake setup to provid…
