    Turbohoses Shortram Intake

    We began shipping out the intakes today and they look absolutely amazing!!! We discounted the intakes 25.00 and gave special discounts for anyone that could show us "their" receipts for our SMIC and IC pipes. TurboHoses

    Turbohoses Shortram Intake

    Thanks for helping out here. You can have a job with us anytime!!! The technology behind the velocity stack and filter is what seperates this intake from anything on the market. They normally retail with filter for almost 165.00 alone. TurboHoses

    Turbohoses Shortram Intake

    The Turkey sound is most definitely not a sound in the intake track resonating. Our intake takes in A LOT of air due to the airram we use. We also smoothed out the bends to the compressor housing. More air to a turbo can equate to more boost and/or the turbo doing the same but more...

    Turbohoses Shortram Intake

    Slug420, You're pretty close to our reasons for not posting our dyno plot. Developing a product is basically a gamble. The inventor hopes that their ideas will have results which will provide a product that will sell due to the overall results. They will gamble designing the product and...

    Turbohoses Shortram Intake

    Because of past experiences we have had with other vendors using our R&D results before making their own products, we won't post any of our dyno results. Yes, it can look expensive from a buyers perspective, especially if you don't see a full picture, but if we showed you all the pieces, it's...

    TurboHoses Intake Tests

    The most difficult part of this intake was having a custom hose made for the size of the turbo to transition to the size of the MAF. It's a pain to custom tool but we did it. I'd say 3 weeks and they will be shipping. Give us a call. Thanks, TurboHoses 925-803-1555

    TurboHoses Intake Tests

    We care, but our local owners have been difficult to get a hold of because they live quite the distance. Give us a call, we just modeled the intake today and it's going into production in 2 weeks. Thanks, TurboHoses 925-803-1555 sales@turbohoses.com

    Turbohoses New Dyno

    We used to be in San Ramon and had dyno days quite often. However, our facitlity is somewhat temporary while our new building is being built in Livermore. This is one reason we prefer tuners and simple appts. at the moment. Thanks, TurboHoses

    Turbohoses New Dyno

    I'm one of the first to have this model dynojet. Unfortunately, I don't know any other shops that have it. Most people gauge their HP numbers by dynojet standards across the entire world. SoCal has more dynos per block than any other area literally. The problem is that the old dynojets are so...

    Unless we have a scheduled meet, we are not open on weekends. Yes, that is a per hour charge. However, the set up will take about 1/2 hour minium each car and even that varies depending on the vehicle.

    Turbohoses New Dyno

    Our normal rate is 125.00 per hour. For any community that we have parts for the rate is 100.00 per hour. We're considering a dyno day but our equipment was twice the cost of our last dyno due to the load feature. We like to keep our dyno in tip top shape for our R&D and tuners that rent...

    Why parts cost what they cost...

    Hello, Normally we don't post on forums, but we felt it necessary to help everyone understand what it takes to supply these parts to the Mazda or any community that we make parts for. Hopefully this category is acceptible. Most people think that it's just the R&D of a product that drives up...

    Turbohoses New Dyno

    Hello, We've just upgraded our dyno to a new load control dyno jet. For those of you that don't know the difference, there are two types of chassis dynos: Inertia and load control. The classic inertia dyno is great for WOT runs but lacks the load capability for tuning. Load is the equivalent...

    TurboHoses SMIC & Hardpipes (Orders being taken)

    Unless you test your vehicle for "optimum" performance, you will not know what how your "vehicle" should/can perform. Just because you don't have a boost leak doesn't mean your vehicle can not run better than what the factory offers. Again, our research which we've posted many moons ago shows...

    TurboHoses SMIC & Hardpipes (Orders being taken)

    The stock IC pipes can not support even stock boost levels. Do a before and after on a dyno and get you'll get your answers from the RPM curve. Turbohoses R&D
