Turbo Inlets

The details of Car Air Filter Types, Cold Air Intake Pros and Cons, and Cold Air Intake vs. Short Ram Intake Comparison have all been previously covered. The turbo inlet hose is the next component in the airflow route for turbocharged autos after the intake.

Turbo inlet hoses (TIH) are a vital component of the complete intake system in a turbocharged engine.  It’s the link from the intake to the turbocharger. A collapsing turbo inlet hose is an issue often overlooked.  It’s easy to overlook since it only happens when the hose is under strong vacuum forces. Not all aftermarket TIHs are made equally. Cheap turbo inlets are very prone to collapse. As a result, just like with many other improvements and vehicle modifications, you get what you paid for.
