Compared to the original 2-port design, this four-independent-outlet configuration eliminates the exhaust flow bottleneck, allowing the turbo to spool faster and reach much higher power levels. Ideal for competition or track-oriented builds targeting above 500 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 independent port configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e overcomes the limitations of the OEM 2-port design, unlocking the engine's true potential.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eV-Band flange ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e direct compatibility with high-performance manifolds and external turbos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated thermal insulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e protects adjacent components and maintains optimal gas temperature for greater efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReinforced alloy material:\u003c\/strong\u003e resistance to high temperatures and extreme pressures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to replace the original head without major structural modifications (requires a compatible exhaust system).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e third-generation VW\/Audi EA888 (Gen3) engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExhaust configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 independent ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-strength alloy with thermal insulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange type:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e new (no valves or springs; ready for custom assembly)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-port cylinder head cover, manifold, and downpipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngines:\u003c\/strong\u003e VW\/Audi 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen3 (2013-2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible models:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen Golf GTI \/ R (Mk7 and Mk7.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi S3 (8V), Audi TT\/TTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSEAT León Cupra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkoda Octavia RS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplication years may vary depending on market and specific engine version.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this kit over the OEM cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original EA888 Gen3 cylinder head cover uses a 2-port design that works well in stock configurations but becomes a severe limiter in high-power builds. This R2P 4-port design eliminates that restriction, allowing much more efficient and rapid gas flow, essential for large turbos or hybrid configurations. In addition, the quality thermal insulation and the precision of the V-Band flanges ensure durability and consistency under extreme conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it include valves and springs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. This kit is intended for custom installations where the builder chooses the internal components according to power and use targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it necessary to modify the exhaust system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
