Charge Pipes & Turbo Inlets

The factory B58 charge pipe is made from plastic to reduce weight and manufacturing costs. While this is great for the production line and the sticker price, it doesn't hold up well as the engine ages or in the case of increased power.

Replacing the weak plastic stock part with a solid aluminum one like this will ensure proper functionality under higher levels of boost and eliminate wear caused by the heating and cooling of plastic pipes. You can also safely turn up the boost on your B58 once this kit is installed, and not worry about the problematic factory piece.

Whether you have a stock car and are looking for improved throttle response and peace of mind, or a high boost monster in search of reliability in your big horsepower build, this charge pipe is the solution you’ve been looking for!

Design Features and Benefits:

The upper pipe is constructed from 6063 aluminum for increased durability over the factory plastic charge pipe. Can withstand higher boost pressures while offering OE-like fitment.

Billet CNC throttle body flange for OEM fitment.

Black powder coated for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance.

Lower pipe is constructed of 4-ply reinforced silicone hose and a 6061-T6 black anodized aluminum coupler to retain factory fitment to the turbo.

Silicone provides a smooth transition from turbo outlet to the upper aluminum pipe. The silicone also provides good wear resistance wear the charge pipe is in close contact with the turbo inlet and coolant hoses.

Perfect Fit:
Includes stainless steel clamps for a leak-free seal and heavy-duty 5-Ply reinforced silicone coupling for strength.

Mandrel-bent Tubing:
Constructed of 2-1/2" to 2-3/4" mandrel-bent aluminum tubing and powder-coated textured-black for heat and corrosion resistance. The smooth transition mandrel bends decrease turbulence which increases horsepower and torque. The high-temp wrinkle-black powder-coating insulates the tube from engine heat and protects the tube from corrosion.

aFe Badging:
Unique aluminum laser-cut aFe Power logo plate is welded-on for an aggressive style.

Note: This intercooler tube is not CARB exempt at this time and is not legal for sale in California or use on vehicles registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicle.

On turbocharged motors, the intake piping is put under constant pressure while the engine is running, and has to hold that pressure without leaking. Unfortunately the smallest amount of damage or defect on the intake hoses and the pressure can cause a leak, leaving you without proper boost pressure.  Replace your leaking pressure pipe and stop loosing boost.
