INSTALLATION:

Important Notes:

  • NO ECU CALIBRATION REQUIRED
  • Compatible with Factory Fitment Intercoolers and PRL Motorsports Intercooler upgrade with 3" outlet.

Technical Notes:

Our charge pipe upgrade kit utilizes a smooth flowing, larger diameter (3.00" OD in comparison to the factory ~2.40" ID hose) cold-side for increased airflow and factory diameter hot-side outlet to aid in turbocharger spool. 4-ply silicone couplers are used throughout our design for a couple of reasons:

  1. Heat-soak reduction: Silicone hose offers extremely low thermal heat transfer properties, especially in comparison to steel or aluminum.

  2. Strength and rigidity: The rubber hoses used from the factory are known to experience expansion, which worsens as boost is increased. In time, the rubber construct weakens, causing increased likeliness of a boost leak. Our high-temp, 4-ply silicone with handle the high temperatures of the turbocharger much better than the factory rubber hose(s).

  3. Smooth airflow: Custom molded silicone allows us to offer much higher flowing bends than we could with metal tubing.

Kit Includes:

  • (2) aluminum charge pipe, powdercoated wrinkle-black
  • (1) 1/8" NPT auxiliary service port
  • (5) 4-ply silicone couplers
  • (8) 304 stainless steel lined clamps
  • All hardware needed for install

Ellie Z. ★★★★★

The factory plastic charge pipes are a known weak point, so swapping to these was a no-brainer for peace of mind. Fitment was perfect on my 2021 TLX Type-S, and the fact that no ECU calibration is needed made the install straightforward.

Matthew ★★★★★

Installed these charge pipes over the weekend and the fitment was spot-on with the factory intercooler. Boost comes on noticeably smoother now, and I didn't have to mess with any ECU tuning.

Lily ★★★★★

Finally getting the boost response I was hoping for—the factory fitment compatibility made this a true drop-in upgrade with no ECU tinkering needed. My charge temps are noticeably lower after some hard pulls on the highway.
