Forge's Turbo Inlet Adaptor replaces a piece of restrictive, factory-fitted pipework with a much better-flowing cast turbo inlet adaptor and larger bore silicone pipe combination enhancing flow and turbo response.
- Precision-engineered CNC machined Billet Aluminium turbo inlet adaptor gives a smoother, more durable connection.
- Smoother internal bores reduce turbulence and increase air intake volume (150%) and speed to regain power lost to poor pipework design.
- Routes air more directly to your turbo reducing turbo lag, improving turbo spool times and giving more responsive acceleration.
- A more durable larger bore silicone inlet hose replaces the more restrictive OE part.
- Includes all necessary fittings and instructions.
Some engines come from the factory with restrictive sections of pipework, in many cases, these inlet adaptors or hoses are small bore or "accordion-style" hoses which cause restrictions and increase turbulence in the pipework caused by tighter angles, sharp-edge profiles or ridges on the walls of the pipe.
Replacing these sections of pipework with better-designed pipework will ensure that your turbo isn't being restricted. Forge has made these pipes wider and longer than the original pipe to allow for more air to flow into the turbo allowing for decreased spool time and improved throttle response.
Most intake pipework on an OE engine is plastic, and plastic degrades over time, so replacing it with durable aluminium or silicone sections helps guard against future boost leaks. The use of a larger bore inlet adaptor and inlet pipe also allows for more significant gains when remapping your vehicle.
These silicone hoses from Forge Motorsport have an inner liner made of modified silicone called Fluorosilicone, which makes them perfect for use with modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology coolants (O.A.T.), or air-flow containing oil mist. Not only do these hoses surpass OEM fitments, but they also improve the technical and aesthetic aspects of any engine bay.
Combined with a high-quality cold air induction kit you can expect to see significant dyno gains over the stock setup which already offered gains of 10 BHP and increased torque (Forge testing - OEM airbox and a high-flow filter), noticeable from 3000RPM. Complimented with Forges' own induction kit, dyno gains of 12BHP and 20Nm of torque were measured.
The more direct routing method of the new adaptor and hose allows for a shorter and smoother intake system air-flow path giving your turbo the most amount of breathing space possible. This additional air has a positive effect on accelerating after long deceleration or in between gear changes due to more air being kept in the intake system.
