I’ve seen a couple posts here and on the MkV forum about the TTRS brake ducts. I decided to install a pair on my car since I plan on doing track days once in a while.
I recently bought a used Brembo 330mm 4 piston BBK. I installed the BBK and brake ducts at the same time.
Here are the parts you’ll need. Don’t bother buying the hardware because it doesn’t line up with the GTI arms.

I did a little trimming on the brake duct to clear the FSB and the brake calipers. I also trimmed a little off the top on the inside so it wouldn’t rub on the underbody. I used an 8” zip tie though the mounting holes and around the back of the arm to hold each duct into place.
The ducts were canted towards the center of the car. I added a 1” aluminum spacer on the back of each duct at the inside edge to straighten the out.
It isn’t perfect but it’s better than it was before.
Here’s a front view.
