Turbo Inlet Hoses

A failing inlet pipe is easy to overlook. You can prevent all such problems by replacing your stock pipe with one of our aftermarket inlet pipe options. We at Car Mods Australia have the best car turbo inlet upgrades for Australian vehicles. We also have many more high-grade automotive accessories, all available at competitive prices.

A turbo intake pipe is essential to the smooth and efficient functioning of a turbocharged engine’s intake system. It is the conduit that connects a car’s turbocharger to its engine’s intake manifold. Thus, it delivers pressurized and compressed air from the turbo to the engine. Compared to the stock turbo inlet pipe, an aftermarket turbo inlet hose is broader, less curved, and smoother, so it allows more air to enter the engine. One key benefit of reducing airflow restrictions in such a way is increased horsepower and torque.

An aftermarket turbo intake pipe also cuts down on turbo spool time. With its higher airflow, it enables your engine to ignite more fuel at lower RPMs. Quicker turbo spooling reduces turbo lag and enhances throttle response.

We have sourced our aftermarket turbo inlet hoses from top-rated performance air-intake system manufacturers, so they won’t let you down. They are available in a variety of colors and finishes.

Our aftermarket inlet hoses are also more robust. Most OEM/stock inlet pipes are primarily made from rubber, which weakens and cracks over time with continual exposure to high temperatures. Our aftermarket turbo inlet pipes, on the other hand, are made from silicone, and some are even reinforced with stainless steel wiring. Therefore, they are more resistant to pressure and heat than rubber hoses. Rest assured that they won’t collapse even when hooked up to large turbochargers.
