PRL's titanium inlet pipe fixes that. It's a direct bolt-on upgrade that replaces the restrictive stock inlet with a proper high-flow piece. The factory inlet's got a tiny 64mm opening feeding your turbo. PRL's inlet opens up to 80mm. That's over 50% more airflow getting to your compressor wheel. More air means better spool, more boost response, and stronger pull down low. If you're running the PRL high volume intake, this inlet pipe's the next step. Your turbo's not fighting for air anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHere's What You're Getting\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRL inlet pipe's got two main pieces: a cast aluminum inlet section that bolts to your turbo's compressor inlet, and a titanium crossover pipe that connects the inlet to your intake. The aluminum piece is gasket-matched to your turbo's 64mm compressor inlet so there's no flow disruption at the connection. It opens up to 78mm ID (80mm OD) at the outlet where it meets the titanium pipe. The titanium crossover pipe handles the transition from your intake to the turbo. Titanium's light, strong, and handles heat way better than aluminum or steel. The whole setup flows over 50% more air than stock. Your turbo spools faster and you're making more power down low where you actually drive the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWorks With the PRL Intake, No Tune Needed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running PRL's high volume intake, you don't need a tune for this inlet pipe. The combination works together without needing ECU calibration. You're bolting it on and driving. If you're running a different intake or you're heavily modified, you might need tuning. But for most people running the PRL intake setup, this is a bolt-on. The inlet pipe works with all factory fitment turbos - stock turbo, upgraded stock-location turbos, RHD models, international spec cars. If it bolts where the factory turbo goes, this inlet pipe fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTitanium Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe crossover pipe's titanium. Not stainless, not aluminum - titanium. It's lighter than steel, stronger than aluminum, and handles heat better than both. PRL's using titanium because it's the right material for a part that sits inches from your turbo getting cooked all day. It's not gonna crack from heat cycling like cheaper materials. It's also not gonna corrode or oxidize. The cast aluminum inlet section's CNC-machined for precise fitment to your turbo. Everything's designed to bolt on with no modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePRL Motorsports titanium turbo inlet pipe kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast aluminum turbo inlet section (64mm inlet, 78mm ID \/ 80mm OD outlet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium crossover pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGasket-matched to turbo compressor inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50%+ airflow increase over stock inlet pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on (no modifications required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll mounting hardware included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits Your Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with RHD and international models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatible Turbos\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory FK8 turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll factory fitment turbochargers (stock location)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRHD factory turbos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This inlet pipe's designed to work with the PRL high volume intake without needing a tune. If you're running a different intake or you've got other modifications, you might need ECU calibration. Check with your tuner. Installation's straightforward - you're removing your factory inlet pipe and bolting this one in using the factory mounting points. The kit includes all the hardware you need. Make sure your turbo inlet gasket's in good shape before you install the new pipe. If it's torn or crusty, replace it. A bad gasket means you're sucking unmetered air and your AFRs are going to be off. The titanium pipe's going to get hot - that's normal. Don't touch it after a pull. Let it cool down. If you're looking for better turbo response and stronger low-end pull, this inlet pipe's one of the best bolt-ons you can do for an FK8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8) \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"PRL Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":43062255747106,"sku":"PRL-TIP-01-01","price":524.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Big Bore","offer_id":43062255779874,"sku":"PRL-TIP-01-02","price":524.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/PRL-TIP-01-01-2crop.jpg?v=1724871592","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/prl-motorsports-honda-civic-type-r-fk8-turbo-inlet-pipe","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
