Protip: don't try to use a ratchet to get the bottom screw off, it'll pin itself to the pipe across from it and you'll be in a predicament. If you can get it loose, a 4mm ball-end hex wrench can get it the rest of the way off. Protip #2: The o-rings come from the fires of hell and will constantly fall off while you're trying to bolt everything on and no tips can save you from their evil
I can't remember exactly, but didn't you make an IG short video or story regarding the Tite-Reach extension wrench thing for the pesky downpipe bolt? How'd that work out? About to do the DP and was wondering if I should buy it. Which size did you use? 1/4", 3/8"? By the way, loved the video explaining the new IE turbo inlet. Great engineering on their part!
The old style is a lot easier when you just swap out the lower screw with a hex head screw and use a wrench. You can also get stubby Allen wrenches that help with the IE supplied screw but still a PITA.
The new mounting is way better, but it seems like now the inlet has a small clunking noise if you wiggle it a little. I don't think it has any seal issues, but probably worth noting.
You can but if the inlet isn’t screwed in, when you push it in the pipe will just move with it because it’s at a miserable angle. Source: tried that for 40 minutes
Omg what is up with the orings???? why do $15 oil filters have this preinstalled but not this premium priced performance part? getting close to putting stock stuff band returing this. Unacceptable thing for them to cheap out on. Any other tips besides oiling the rings? not working for me
@@Vaguh Thanks for responding (and all your awesome content) I ended up using silicone after their support responded and it stayed on no problem. My next challenge is the IE intake, particularly the silicone hose that connects between the intake and turbo inlet pipe. Cant quite figure out where the play is out to connect together cant find any videos on that. Hopefully support guides me on that. So close!
Update! Turns out they shipped the wrong silicon hose. I forced in place but at least they are sending me the correct one next week. That turbo inlet pipe lower screw was cake compared to my battle with an oversized hose lol. Sounds great so after all that, I’d say it was worth it!
I know I commented before but I need your input. I got the first o ring to stay on , but the side where the inlet connects before you put the one top screw in I couldn’t not get the o ring to stay. So I decided to just run it without that one o ring. What am I risking doing that ?
It’s not a huge risk, but possibly debris getting in there, or slightly less airflow from the intake…maybe. If you put some oil on the o ring, it will stay in place.
I found also a huge pain in the ass was the piece of shit improperly sized O-ring that came with the inlet I had a REAL LY hard time keeping it in place.
That secondary air pipe tip legit solved my issue in 10 seconds, best Audi channel
Great work guys! This will help a lot of people understand the design update we made and just how much easier our massive inlet is to install!
how much does it differentiate power wise?

Yeah, this is pretty spot on. I put a little oil on the o-rings and that help hold them in place enough.
oh daym extra 2.5Hp is game total gamechanger!
Great video! That looked a hell of a lot easier to install.

Yeah, I think I did. Shoot me a DM on IG and I can help you out.

No clunking noises on mine. You may want to make sure everything is nice and tight. Including the bolts in the adapter.
Could you not have connected secondary air intake to the inlet before securing it to turbo?
You can but if the inlet isn’t screwed in, when you push it in the pipe will just move with it because it’s at a miserable angle. Source: tried that for 40 minutes
Did you notice any change in sound? More noise to the turbo etc?
Not much with the inlet. With the whole intake, definitely

Could try Vaseline?

This is my current struggle, it’s proving harder than it was removing the stock lower screw 😅
Same these o rings suck they need to be like .010 bigger. Stuck on this right now.
That bottom bolt was the biggest piece of shit thing I’ve ever had to deal with in a car
I hear ya!
Facts. Took me 40 mins to get it out. Had to cut down and Allen key in both directions and it was still a struggle
Try changing the charge pipes, the ones after Tbody. Only to realize it didn’t do anything hahaha
