Improve charge-air flow and durability on your Volkswagen MK8 GTI with the APR Throttle Body Pipe. Constructed from aluminum with a full 60mm internal diameter, this direct replacement eliminates restrictive factory internals and provides a smooth, uninterrupted airflow path leading into the throttle body.
Quick Fitment Overview
- Compatible with Volkswagen MK8/MK8.5 GTI
- Replaces the factory plastic throttle body pipe
- Compatible with factory and APR upgraded charge hoses
Product Description
The APR Throttle Body Pipe replaces the factory plastic pipe with a stronger aluminum component designed to improve the final section of the charge-air path before the throttle body. A consistent internal diameter, smooth transitions, and minimal bends help reduce airflow restriction while providing a more durable alternative to the factory plastic component.
APR removes the restrictive internal component found within the factory throttle body pipe to create a smooth and uninterrupted airflow path. The full 60mm design also helps maintain a consistent charge-air path when combined with other APR charge-air upgrades.
Aluminum construction provides increased resistance to cracking and heat-related deterioration compared with the factory plastic pipe. Bead-rolled connection points help prevent hose movement under boost, while TIG-welded mounting brackets provide strong and secure mounting at the factory locations.
The pipe includes billet aluminum provisions for the factory MAP sensor along with an additional billet aluminum port that can support an auxiliary sensor, water/methanol injection, or another compatible accessory. An NPT plug allows the additional port to remain securely closed when it is not being used.
The APR Throttle Body Pipe is compatible with both factory and APR upgraded charge hoses, allowing it to be installed independently or as part of a complete APR charge-air system.
Best For: Volkswagen MK8 GTI owners looking to reduce charge-air restriction, replace the factory plastic throttle body pipe, and create a stronger airflow path for stock or modified vehicles.
Why Choose the APR Throttle Body Pipe?
The factory throttle body pipe uses plastic construction and contains an internal component that can restrict airflow. APR replaces this assembly with a full 60mm aluminum pipe featuring a smooth internal path, stronger connections, and provisions for additional sensors or water/methanol injection.
