Upgrade Your 6.0L Powerstroke with HPS Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipe Kit

If you're the proud owner of a 2003-2007 Ford Super Duty with a 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel engine, you know that reliability is key, especially under heavy loads or extreme conditions. The HPS Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipe Kit (Part No. 17-145WB) is designed to tackle common issues like cracked pipes and worn-out boots that can leave you stranded. With this upgrade, you can ensure your truck keeps running strong, even on the hottest days.

Why Choose HPS?

The factory hot side charge pipe often fails at the boots due to a lack of reinforcement, leading to premature wear and tear. HPS addresses this with a custom-engineered mounting brace that stabilizes the hot side pipe, relieving stress at the connection points. Plus, the kit replaces the weak plastic cold side pipe that’s notorious for cracking, ensuring a more durable solution.

Performance Benefits

Constructed from mandrel-bent 6061-grade aluminum, this charge pipe kit reduces weight by about 50% compared to the stock setup. The result? A smoother airflow pathway that enhances throttle response and acceleration. Whether you're towing heavy loads or just cruising, you'll notice a significant improvement in drivability.

Durability You Can Count On

Stock intercooler boots are often made from silicone reinforced with just two layers of polyester. Given the oil flow from the turbo, these parts can quickly degrade, leading to failures. HPS has engineered their boots with a robust 4-ply design, featuring high-temperature and oil-resistant silicone that can withstand the toughest operating conditions.

Easy Installation

Installation is straightforward and doesn’t require any retuning or additional modifications. The included industrial-grade, spring-loaded T-bolt clamps provide constant tension to accommodate temperature fluctuations, eliminating the need for maintenance. Plus, these clamps are built to resist corrosion, ensuring longevity.
