What this is — turbo-swap accessory

These are precision turbo flanges sold as an accessory for the AToM RACE V2 induction kit. They are intended for builders who are upgrading the turbocharger on a Blaze AToM RACE V2 installation, where the new turbo’s inlet geometry requires re-mating the existing intake system.

Use case: EA888 Gen 3 turbo upgrade on a car already running (or being built around) the AToM RACE V2 100 mm intake.

Compatible kit:

Vehicle platform (inherits from RACE V2): any car running an MQB EA888 Gen 3 (1.8 / 2.0 TSI) on the RACE V2 fitment list, undergoing a turbocharger upgrade.

⚠ Not a bolt-on consumer upgrade

These flanges are fabrication / build components. They are intended for workshops, tuners and experienced builders fitting an aftermarket turbo to an existing AToM RACE V2 setup. If you are unsure whether your build needs them, email sales@blazeperformance.com with your turbo specs before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What are these turbo flanges for?

They are precision-machined replacement flanges used in turbo, downpipe and intake fabrication on MQB EA888 Gen 3 platforms. Most buyers are workshops, fabricators or tuners building custom turbo or exhaust solutions.

Will these flanges fit my application?

They are dimensionally matched to OEM EA888 Gen 3 1.8 and 2.0 TSI mounting patterns. See the “Fits these vehicles” box above for the engine platforms they support. If you are fabricating for a non-listed application, contact us with the specifications.

Are these for end-user installation?

These flanges are intended as fabrication components, not a bolt-on consumer upgrade. They are best handled by a workshop with welding and turbo-fitting experience.

About this kit
Description Introducing a high-quality performance upgrade, this turbo inlet system is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including various VW, Audi, SEAT, and Skoda models. Offering improved turbo spool, torque, and power, this product ensures an optimal driving experience.   Key Features:
  •  Full-Width, Stepped Back Air Guide: The air guide catches air from both grille inlet ducts without blocking them. This minimizes turbulence as air rushes into the grille, allowing it to pass smoothly. The duct seals against the hood, creating a large clean space for air to enter and be guided into the 120mm filter inlet for maximum ram air effect.
  • Reverse Mounted, Washable, Reusable 120mm (4.7″) Dry Cotton Filter: This large diameter filter inlet minimizes resistance to flow, providing a huge mouth for air entry. The shaped filter outlet ensures air exits as smoothly as possible.
  • 76mm (3″) Outlet heat shield: Sealed inside a powder-coated aluminium case, the air filter shields against hot air from the engine bay. This provides a large volume for air accumulation, and a 100mm (4″) outlet ensures high-volume airflow.
  • 76mm – 76mm (3″) Turbo Inlet Hose: The 4-ply, wire-reinforced silicone hose that maintains a 76mm (3″) diameter from inlet to outlet, keeping the air as turbulent-free as possible. Silicone insulates against heat from the turbo area, minimizing wall friction and airspeed.
  • Large Diameter Flanges with Multiple Turbo Compatibility: The 76mm (3”) outlet of the turbo inlet hose allows the use of a massive inlet flange, making the AToM Pro V2 compatible with various turbocharger systems without compromising performance. On several designs, smaller inlet elbows provided by the turbo manufacturer were eliminated, maximizing flow to the turbo.
  • Turbo Compatibility: The AToM Pro V2 is compatible with the following turbos, either through a suitable flange or direct coupling of the hose onto the turbo:
Garrett IS12/20/38 Garrett IS38 Hybrid (Vortex XL/TTE/Littco/CTS/LM series/etc) Garrett Power MAX (1&2) – with a 2-bolt hole, suited flange APR DTR6054/TPC/RAC/Mabo – with a 3-bolt hole, suited flange EQT Typhoon/CTS BOSS 700 – by means of direct coupling to turbo

Frequently asked questions

What does a turbo inlet pipe do?

It replaces the OEM intake elbow that connects the air filter to the turbo inlet. The OEM part has restrictive internal geometry and a fixed cross-section. The Blaze inlet pipe is smoother, larger-diameter (76mm or 100mm depending on the model), and reduces airflow turbulence into the turbo.

76mm or 100mm — which should I choose?

The 76mm (3-inch) inlet is a direct upgrade for OEM and pairs well with the AToM PRO intake. The 100mm (4-inch) inlet supports higher airflow and is recommended for the AToM RACE intake or for higher-power builds. The two are not interchangeable — pick to match your intake.

Will this fit my car?

See the “Fits these vehicles” box above. The inlet pipe is a direct replacement for the OEM elbow on MQB EA888 Gen 3 cars.

Do I need a tune?

No — the inlet pipe is safe on a stock ECU. It is most commonly fitted alongside a cold air intake and/or charge pipe upgrade.

Frequently asked questions

Will this intercooler fit my car?

See the “Fits these vehicles” box above. The intercooler is a direct OEM replacement — it uses the same mounting points and end-tank locations as the original, so it bolts on without modification to the bumper, crash bar or charge piping.

Do I need a tune to benefit from this?

No — even on a stock ECU, the larger core holds charge-air temperatures lower under sustained load, which improves repeatability of pulls and protects the engine from heat soak. The benefits scale with power, so it pairs especially well with Stage 1+ tunes.

What is the difference between bar-and-plate and tube-and-fin?

Bar-and-plate cores hold pressure better, resist damage from track debris, and have a higher thermal capacity per unit volume — at the cost of slightly higher weight than tube-and-fin. This is the design we use because reliability under track conditions is the priority.

Is the install reversible?

Yes. The intercooler is a direct OEM swap and the original unit can be re-fitted at any time.
