VW Audi  EA888 Gen3 Thermal Inlet Gasket

Inlet air temperature is a critical factor in performance tuning, and heat transfer through conduction from the cylinder head is the primary cause of heat soak in aluminium intake manifolds. Thermal gasket offers the most effective solution to drastically reduce heat soak, making it an essential upgrade for high-performance vehicles—particularly in racing applications where engines often run before the start of a race.

Unlike generic alternatives, these gaskets are precision-engineered using CAD design and CNC-cut to ensure a perfect fit. Crafted from 4mm ThermoBloc 1389 material, they provide exceptional thermal insulation without the need for additional gaskets in most cases. Installation typically requires no extended fasteners, though we recommend verifying at least 4mm of free thread on your setup.

With a heat resistance of over 250°C, excellent chemical resistance, and high-density construction, this gasket delivers reliable, long-lasting performance under the most demanding conditions.
