Bionic flow guidance for maximum performance

The RevDop High-Flow Turbo Inlet was developed specifically for the 190 hp variant of the 2.0 TDI EA288. In high-performance turbodiesel engines, the air supply to the turbocharger plays a decisive role in response, power delivery, and efficiency.

While the stock turbo inlet is designed with space constraints, manufacturing costs, and mass production in mind, our high-flow turbo inlet follows a strictly fluid-mechanical approach. Using modern CFD simulations, the entire interior geometry was redeveloped to guide the airflow to the turbocharger compressor with as little loss as possible.

The result is a bionically optimized flow path with approximately 10% more fluid volume and up to 19% less pressure loss compared to the OEM turbo inlet.

Advantages at a glance

• Bionically developed high-flow flow geometry
• Approximately 10% more fluid volume compared to the OEM turbo inlet
• Up to 19% lower pressure loss
• Optimized airflow to the turbocharger
• Reduction of turbulence and flow separation
• Improved air supply at high mass airflows
• More direct turbocharger response
• Ideal supplement for Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 conversions
• Plug-&-play installation at the original connection points
• Relief for the turbocharger's axial turbine geometry

Developed with CFD flow simulation

The focus of development was on achieving the most loss-free air routing possible. The inner contour was completely redesigned using modern Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations.

Abrupt changes in cross-section and unfavorable diversions were systematically reduced so that the intake air reaches the turbocharger's compressor wheel in a more controlled and uniform manner.

Compared to the stock turbo inlet, the effective fluid volume has been increased by approximately 10%. At the same time, the flow-optimized geometry reduces pressure loss by up to 19%.

As a result, the turbocharger has to overcome less flow resistance and can deliver the required air more efficiently.

Developed specifically for the 190 hp variant

The 190 hp version of the EA288 moves higher air masses as standard than the less powerful engine variants. This increases the demands on the entire intake system.

Our high-flow turbo inlet has been tuned precisely to these requirements and supports the turbocharger with a more uniform and flow-efficient air supply.

Especially under high load or in conjunction with a performance upgrade, the optimized inlet can fully leverage its advantages and allow the existing hardware to operate more efficiently.

More efficiency for every performance setup

Optimized air routing forms the basis of any performance-oriented intake path. By reducing pressure loss, the required air is available to the turbocharger with less resistance.

This improves the turbocharger's response and supports more uniform power delivery across the entire rev range.

The RevDop High-Flow Turbo Inlet is therefore a sensible upgrade for both standard vehicles and those with Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 3 tuning.

High-quality manufacturing from PA12

The turbo inlet is manufactured from high-quality PA12—a technical plastic that has proven itself in motorsport for years.

The material properties offer:

• High temperature resistance
• High dimensional stability
• Resistance to oil and fuel vapors
• Long service life

Production is carried out using a high-resolution industrial 3D printing process, ensuring a precise fit at the original connection points.

Plug & Play installation

The RevDop High-Flow Turbo Inlet completely replaces the stock component.

Installation is carried out at the original mounting points and requires no modifications to the vehicle.
