BOOST PIPES

-

The routing of the boost pipes is essential to ensure the airflow is smooth and unrestrict­ed. Too many bends in the pipework creates turbulence, which reduces performanc­e. Induction and boost pipes must be substantia­l to withstand the pressures of forced induction – silicone hoses are preferable to standard rubber pipework. If the boost pressure is increased or the engine modified it’s worthwhile replacing all of the standard rubber hoses for silicone.
