A consistent internal diameter, smooth transitions, and minimal bends help reduce airflow restriction while providing a more durable alternative to the factory plastic component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPR 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminum 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose the APR Throttle Body Pipe?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory throttle body pipe uses plastic construction and contains an internal component that can restrict airflow.
