Product Details

ECS Tuning Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose – MINI Cooper S/JCW N14 (R55-R59)

Improve airflow, enhance reliability, and upgrade your engine bay with the ECS Tuning Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose for MINI models equipped with the N14 engine. Designed to eliminate common failure points found in the factory hose, this high-performance upgrade is ideal for modified or tuned vehicles where increased suction can cause the OEM hose to collapse or disconnect.

Unlike the factory plastic inlet hose, which degrades over time and was never engineered with performance in mind, the ECS Tuning replacement features a durable, 4-ply silicone construction with wire reinforcement to handle higher temperatures and boost levels. Reinforced sections help prevent flex and collapse under load, and a smooth internal profile with a counterbored outlet reduces turbulence for optimized airflow to the turbocharger.

ECS Tuning also addresses a known issue where the OEM hose can walk off the turbo inlet and ingest the included gasket, often leading to premature turbo failure. This upgraded design provides a much more secure fit and peace of mind for performance-minded MINI owners.
