    TurboHoses Intake Tests

    Tests were done with both metals, but there was no difference. We are checking tooling costs and possibly making it in silicone. Turbohoses R&D

    TurboHoses Intake Tests

    If there is enough room and you have the correct hoses, it "might" fit with the PIPING, but not the Apex filter. Turbohoses R&D

    Your are correct. We rerouted the bypass valve after the MAF to avoid this problem. Turbohoses R&D

    Update We have slightly adjusted the geometry of one one of the IC's parts. This will result in another 1/2 to 2hp gain which will vary depending on your boost setting. We are going into production and will be able to deliver 5+ kits per month. Turbohoses R&D

    TurboHoses Intake Tests

    Testing Intakes on a dyno isn't the "best" way to get real world results. It gives us a base number in comparison to the stock intake. One thing we noticed while driving is that the turbo spooling noise was quite evident due to the extra volume of air it's receiving. This will ultimately...

    Our hard pipes fit with the Injen, we don't know if it works with AEM. Spool time improved beginning 3000 rpm to WOT. Turbohoses R&D

    We were able to simplify the desgin and bring down our estimated price to about 220.00 +/-. It will depend on how our final desgin on the heat shield. Turbohoses R&D

    TurboHoses Intake Tests

    Hello, The tests are done on a completely stock car with only our aluminum hardpipe upgrade. We have tested two intakes: Short Ram and Cold Air. Our short ram was equipped with a heat shield and the engine bay was heat soaked before testing. Both intakes resulted in a gain of 3-4hp. We...

    As most people mentioned, the baseline we have is more/less consistant with others. Because our tests were done on this vehicle, our baseline/test numbers are consistant throughout. Turbohoses R&D

    Operating temperature was 15 dg. f. higher from second run and 42 dg. f. higher than our first run. The intercooler heat soaks, but the engine temp. increases quite rapidly under the conditions our tests put it through. Turbohoses R&D

    It's not as simple as just drill and tap. The end tank must be recessed at that point to allow for the fans mounting point to have a place to sit. Remember, the core is thicker. Thanks, Turbohoses R&D

    Hp Rating 150-160 is quite possible. The ambient air temp. will make a difference and drop hp very quickly. Hope this helps. Turbohoses R&D

    Fitament The fitament is good. There are no rubbing issues. However, we are at a crossing point. 1. The factory fan has one bolt that mount to the OEM IC. We can and have made a proto-type that fits all of the bolts, however it is extremely time consuming. We would have to add an...
