MST Performance Turbo Inlet Pipe

lonecitizenfour · 07-02-2018, 12:08 PM

Hey guys, sorry for the boring post... but I installed the MST Performance turbo inlet pipe for N20/N26 (along with GFB DV+)... Happy to report that everything works fine! You can definitely hear the turbo a lot better. The quality of the pipe is great!

Can you post a pic of what it looks like in engine bay?

How long did install take for just the pipe, not DV+

I'll try to post a pic later in the week, I don't even know if I can see it... the shop took 30 minutes to install

I have Wagner FMIC, ER Charge pipe kit, Injen CAI Intake, Mishimoto Oil Catch Can, GFB DV+, and then this inlet pipe. Stock DP. It also fits with ER Catted DP.

N26

Any tips/instructions to share?

What is the perceived benefit with this mod? Been considering one myself...

I also installed the inlet last week but mine is from FTP Motorsport made in Taiwan. This pipe is just like chargepipe a safety protection since the stock plastic are easy to break if running too much boost.

To be honest, after I installed with along with GFB DV+, I hear some kind of fan (is it the turbo?) really really prominently. Even with hood closed.

Is the whole thing a pipe? It looks like its 80% silicone coupler

Fr3sh · 07-20-2018, 02:03 AM

Who else has this and running it?

LordRuxpin · 07-20-2018, 02:31 AM

Does the butt dyno feel any difference in power?

yeah, looks like the metal stops just after it enters. Still probably much stronger that OEM.

i am using this FTP part

https://www.ftpmotorsport.com.tw/pro...ipe-intel-pipe

the turbo spool louder, throttle response seem better...

What the difference between the MST and FTP one.

D041987 · 10-18-2018, 05:02 PM

FTP is an actual metal pipe which is stronger and more ridged design than the silicon coupler.

Dviedesign · 10-19-2018, 03:35 PM

MST $2 hose less than $0.50 to make .

Do you need yours made? send pm.
