The factory throttle body inlet pipe is made of flexible rubber. Under increased boost levels, it will inflate and can even blow right off. When that happens, you either get a dramatic loss of performance and unfiltered air into the engine, or the car just stalls - depending on your engine management. Either way, it's bad.
This replacement unit replaces that rubber balloon with a polished stainless steel pipe. It has a 1 3/8" fitting for an upgraded bypass valve, so we recommend pairing it with our Turbosmart unit. Included in our Little Enchilada.I've had this kit with the Turbo smart recirc valve on my Mazdaspeed for about 10 years now (bought 2012 but I think it was installed in 2013). I'm not a mechanic and will admit I needed a mechanic friend's help to install but it wasn't hard for him at all once we figured out what to do with the vacuum lines in the absence of the rest of the intake kit. Purchased because my stock rubber inlet was blowing off at autoslalom. 10 years in on this package and couldn't be happier.
It does the job replacing the rubber elbow. I am just disappointed mine has welding slag all over it and can still see some grinder marks, not a smooth finish like the photo.
Note from FM: Colin got a piece that's a bit out of character, we're working with him to replace it.
