The factory throttle body inlet pipe is made of flexible rubber. Under increased boost levels, it will inflate and can even blow right off. When that happens, you either get a dramatic loss of performance and unfiltered air into the engine, or the car just stalls – depending on your engine management. Either way, it’s bad.
Note that this pipe has a 1 3/8″ fitting for an upgraded bypass valve, as opposed to the stock 3/4″ fitting. We recommend pairing it with our Turbosmart unit, be sure to choose that option if don’t already have a plan.
