DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- The sequential twin-turbo system relies on massive air volume to generate smooth, linear power—yet the restrictive factory intake creates an immediate airflow bottleneck. The stock airbox restricts air velocity before it even reaches the turbos, forcing the compound setup to work harder and driving up intake and exhaust temperatures under heavy loads.
- This high-flow intake system replaces the restrictive stock plumbing with a black powder-coated aluminum intake tube, CNC-bent to maintain maximum internal diameter through every curve. Paired with a high-capacity dry synthetic filter, it feeds cool, uninterrupted air straight to the twin turbos—improving throttle response, helping manage Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs), and unleashing that powerful diesel induction sound.
Key Features
- Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Intake Tube: Designed with a smooth, consistent internal profile that eliminates sharp, restrictive factory bends, optimizing laminar airflow straight to the compound turbo inlet.
- Features a heat-resistant, powder-coated surface that protects against under-hood corrosion, wear, and oxidation while giving the engine bay a clean, factory-style look.
- Superior depth-loading media effectively captures fine dust, dirt, and road debris commonly encountered on rugged job sites and rural roads.
- Bolts directly onto existing factory mounting locations using the included powder-coated bracket and hardware—requires zero cutting, drilling, or permanent vehicle modification.
- Removes the restrictive, sound-dampening stock airbox to unlock the distinct, aggressive spool and induction sound of the sequential turbocharger system under boost.
FAQ
Q: Why is the twin-turbo setup more sensitive to intake restriction?
A: In a sequential compound turbo system, the low-pressure turbo feeds directly into the high-pressure turbo. Any airflow restriction at the main inlet forces both turbos to work harder to maintain target boost, creating unnecessary heat. Reducing inlet restriction with this high-flow intake allows both stages of the compound turbo system to breathe efficiently.
Q: Will the black powder-coated finish withstand intense engine bay heat?
A: Yes. The powder-coated finish is oven-cured at temperatures far exceeding normal engine bay operating limits. It provides superior heat, scratch, and chemical resistance compared to standard paint, ensuring the tube will not discolor, chip, or peel from radiant engine heat or under-hood exposure over time.
Q: Is this cold air intake a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory airbox?
A: Absolutely. The kit is designed to utilize existing factory mounting locations in the engine bay. It comes complete with a dedicated powder-coated mounting bracket and heavy-duty hardware, allowing for a straight forward, hassle-free installation with basic hand tools and no permanent vehicle modifications.
Q: Does installing this intake trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL)?
A: No. The intake pipe is engineered to work seamlessly with factory sensor readings, maintaining smooth internal airflow velocity within stock calibration limits. The ECU adjusts automatically to the cleaner, high-volume airflow without throwing codes or requiring a custom tune.
Q: How do I maintain the high-capacity dry synthetic filter?
A: Maintenance is clean and hassle-free. Because it uses a 100% dry media element, no filter oils are needed. To clean, simply remove the filter, gently tap off loose dust and road dirt (or rinse with clean water), allow it to air-dry completely, and reinstall
