Scirocco Central

Hi everyone,

I've just joined the Scirocco club after picking up my new car last week.

It's a 2016 2.0 TSI R-Line DSG. ( My Engine code is CUL if that makes any difference )

My issue I'm having is identifying my engine / picking the correct intake mod kit.

I was under the impression when listing my car for compatibility on websites I was to choose the MK7 GTI (EA888 Gen 3) if the Scirocco wasn't listed but I'm getting slightly confused just looking at the engine bay of MK7's compared to mine.

If you look at my engine bay what I'm wondering is I have this extra long Turbo inlet pipe that wraps all the way behind the engine but most MK7's it's very short and enters the Turbo usually just at the top right of the engine.

What am I missing or is this just by design for Scirocco's of this age?

I should add the intake I'm looking at is the following - https://performancebyie.co.uk/collectio ... udi-8v-tsi

Am I looking at the right ones?

I assume by intake mod kit you are referring to an induction kit?
The CUL / EA888 engine is fitted to quite a few cars but it has different variations (so if it’s fitted to a golf the turbo is mounted differently to your scirocco)
Looking at you picture it looks more like the mk6 golf GTi layout, may be worth having a look on eBay at some and messaging the seller who can confirm one way or the other and if they say it fits but doesn’t you can send it back. Otherwise Cuprabob may be along soon and he may be able to give a bit more helpful info.

Cheers for the response mate.

I eventually found out the info I was after and found a compatible induction kit here.

Had to look at a VW Jetta/GLI which runs the same layout.

Perfect

Just for anyone else looking, although the CUL engine has different turbo pipework routing and if going for a full induction kit you need the special one mentioned above, if just using a panel filter then it is the same as the other 2.0 models, meaning pretty much any will fit.

I fitted a reusable Ramair cotton panel filter in mine (2017, same engine code).

It's a bit of a swine to find aftermarket parts for, compared to the earlier cars.

Having the same frantic search too here gents with a 2016 GTS 220HP that I picked up recently. Ordered a VWR drop in filter in the mean time.
The IE intake looks pretty great though - although I did assume that the WVR intake (VWR12G6GT) would fit, will confirm this week.
