Overview
Important Notes:
Tune Required - CCV Valve is Removed
Technical Notes:
Our Silicone Inlet Hose Upgrade Kit is designed to replace the restrictive corrugated factory hose with a stronger, larger diameter, smoother flower 4-ply silicone hose. We increased the compressor inlet diameter by 30% and maintained a long, smooth transition to 87mm at the outlet of the air box. This kit utilizes a 62mm compressor inlet flange to allow maximum airflow to the stock turbocharger and any drop-in turbocharger upgrade. (For reference, a 35R-sized turbocharger utilizes a 62mm inlet.) The inlet flange smoothly transitions from 74mm to 62mm over a 32mm length to reduce turbulence. Also, our kit removes factory air dampeners/silencers, so customers can expect to hear more audible intake noise.
The heater is easily tuned out, every turbo system upgrade on the market and most tuners already tune out this piece. This had to be removed for the connection from the intake pipe to the compressor housing. Our adapter is made to maintain a smooth flowing diameter without restriction. If the heater is kept in the system, a bottle-neck section must exist at the compressor. By keeping it, the intake does not increase functionality much, if at all, over the factory setup.
