Gates 15-17 Volkswagen Golf 4-Cyl. 1.8L Pipe To Engine Cold Side Turbocharger Hose

If you're working on the cold side of your turbocharger system on a 2015-2017 Volkswagen Golf with the 1.8L engine, this hose is what you'll need to connect the intercooler piping to the turbo. A cracked or leaking hose here can really hurt your turbo's performance, leading to a loss of boost and power.

Gates is a well-known name in hoses, and this one is built to handle the pressures and temperatures found in a turbo system. It's made from rubber that's resistant to oil and heat, which is important because the turbocharger environment can get pretty hot and oily. This hose is designed to fit right into the factory location, making the replacement straightforward.

When you're replacing a turbo hose, it's a good idea to check the condition of the clamps as well. Make sure you have the right size clamps to get a secure seal, as a loose connection can cause boost leaks.
