Benefits of Upgrading
Upgrading to the Cusco Turbo Heat Shield and Air Intake Hose can significantly enhance your vehicle’s performance compared to factory components.

The silicone air intake hose replaces the factory rubber hose connecting the top mount intercooler to the throttle body. This upgrade provides higher heat resistance, improved airflow, and greater durability, ensuring a longer lifespan for the part.
