The IHI turbo found in the 1.8T and 2.0T EA888 TSI engines incorporate a turbo muffler which sits at the compressor outlet. This piece is designed to add turbulence and deflect airflow allowing for a quieter ride but this comes at a trade off with less power and boost response. HPA's Turbo Muffler delete is a direct replacement for the restrictive OE unit. Designed as a smooth uninterrupted path, this unit delivers better throttle response and more power while allowing you to hear your turbo spool.
