This charge pipe kit consists of two main parts: 3" mandrel bent aluminum part that features 2 bungs (1/8th-27 NPT) for those looking to run methanol/water injection (blanking plugs included), along with a silicone piece with 4 layers of polyester/aramid reinforcement made to handle high temperatures and pressures.
Parts included in the kit:
- Aluminum pressure pipe
- Silicone hose
- CNC machined hose adapter for the host to intercooler hot-side outlet
- Installation hardware for the pressure pipe
- Two standard hose clamps
NOTE: OEM charge pipe o-ring should be re-used or replaced during installation on an as needed basis, NOT included.
