GTM TWIN TURBO install at HP Logic

Valentino · 09-26-2009, 08:02 PM

Good job Horsepower Logic.

Questions:

How is the rubber elbow holding @ 7.5psi(the one on the top left of the inter cooler)?

Would that rubber hoes take the heat and abuse of higher boost in the long run with out coming off or get damaged?

Thanks

well tough to tell since so far it has only been a few pulls on the dyno, but it held up fine with no obvious bulging, if that is your concern, it is pretty thick and as for heat, it wont see any more heat than the rest of the plastic/rubber parts in the engine bay.

it is similar if not the same as the parts used in the Injen cold air intakes.

The OEM rubbers, plastics, and the Injen cold air intakes will never go throw the pressure that this rubber elbow will go throw.

anyway. time will tell. and this is an easy fix. exchange it with a metal elbow, for more reliability.

Peace.

So that rubber elbow won't leak air or come off under high boost?

Not at all, not to mention that we supply T-Bolt clamps which are proven hardware for high boost applications

If the clamps are on tight it shouldn't just like any of the couplings
