Product Details
Turbocharger Inlet Pipe by APR®. The APR Turbo Inlet Pipe is an easy-to-install bolt-on upgrade that eliminates a restriction before the turbocharger. Unlike fabricated units on the market today, ours is cast from aluminum, allowing for an organically shaped inlet that transitions gradually over a large distance. Such a design promotes better flow rather than abruptly reducing at the turbocharger’s inlet like other units. It’s larger than stock throughout, removes a large internal restriction at the PCV inlet, and outflows the factory unit allowing the turbocharger to operate more efficiently. We fully assemble each unit with a billet securing arm, billet PCV bung and new o-ring. The inlet and outlet are CNC-machined to control tolerances and ensure snug and secure connections. This upgrade is recommended at all stages utilizing an IHI IS12, IS20 or IS38 turbocharger!
apr's engineers tested a multitude of other turbocharger inlet designs in pursuit of more flow and power. it was quickly determined the part could not act as an upgrade on its own because of the significant increase in diameter required. the rear inlet pipe also had to be upgraded to utilize this larger diameter. other designs, which may look smoother, and offer a continuously reducing taper, are extremely limited. at 3.5", 550 cfm is achievable. at 4" 560 is achievable. in contrast, our system achieves 710 cfm under the same test. given how restrictive these other designs are, upgrading to our system, while still using the factory airbox, filter and frontal scoop, will outflow any intake system!
