Racingline Intake Hose – VW Polo GTI (6C) / Seat Ibiza Cupra (6J) / Audi S1 (8X)
The Racingline Intake Hose is a direct replacement for the restrictive factory hose found on a range of 1.8 and 2.0 TSI vehicles. Manufactured from high-quality silicone, it provides a smoother, larger-bore path for air to travel from the intake system into the turbocharger, helping to improve throttle response and overall airflow efficiency.
As an authorised UK dealer for Racingline Performance, we supply this hose as a genuine part of the wider Racingline intake upgrade package – not as a standalone bolt-on for stock vehicles.
What This Hose Does
The standard intake hose fitted at the factory is designed for cost, packaging and noise reduction rather than maximum airflow. Replacing it with the Racingline silicone hose removes a known restriction between the airbox and turbocharger, allowing the engine to breathe more freely. When combined with the rest of the Racingline intake system, you get a cleaner, more consistent flow of cool air into the turbo, which supports better throttle response and more efficient running.
Essential Compatibility
This hose is designed to work exclusively as part of the Racingline performance intake system. It is not a universal upgrade and will not fit on a standard vehicle without the supporting components.
- Required: Racingline Intake System (cold air intake / airbox)
- Required: Racingline Turbo Inlet Elbow / Turbo Inlet
Crucial Incompatibility
Please read carefully before purchasing. This intake hose WILL NOT fit with the following factory parts:
- DOES NOT fit the stock airbox
- DOES NOT fit the stock turbo inlet elbow
If you already have the Racingline Intake System fitted to your car, this hose is also available as part of a wider upgrade kit to complete the setup alongside the Racingline Turbo Inlet Elbow.
