If you've ever cranked up the boost on your ride only to watch the factory charge pipe crumble under pressure, you know the frustration all too well. But don't sweat it—I've got a solid fix for you. Say goodbye to that weak plastic pipe and upgrade to a robust aluminum charge pipe that actually delivers. Made from 100% high-grade 6061 aluminum, this piece is built to last, and it’s backed by Evolution Racewerks’ Limited Lifetime Warranty, so you can trust it won't let you down.
Now, let’s talk about airflow. The way air moves through your intake system has a big impact on throttle response and turbo lag. This charge pipe is designed with smooth bends and minimal obstructions to maximize airflow. The upper pipe features a 2.75" diameter, which is a nice step up from the factory's 2.5". This means you get better flow without any bottlenecks, which is crucial when you’re pushing for max power.
Evolution Racewerks didn’t just slap this together; they really thought it through. They were the first to replicate the factory throttle body flange design, which means you get a tight, secure fit. The connection at the throttle body uses an O-ring and a C-clip, making installation a breeze. I’ve had mine on for a while now, and it holds boost like a champ. In fact, during testing, they pushed it up to 25 PSI without any issues. The only reason they didn’t go higher was that one of the intake pipes blew off before they could test further. So, yeah, I’d say it’s pretty reliable.
Another thing to note is that while some competitors opt for a silicone hose connection, that’s just not the way to go. The throttle body lip on this charge pipe is designed to fit perfectly, ensuring it won’t blow off under pressure like those other setups. It’s all about making the right connections, and Evolution Racewerks nailed it with this one.
