MPx Cold Side Charge Pipe, 03-10 PT Cruiser Turbo
Model Number: 331237-NOFLANGE
This pipe is identical to our MPx Cold Side Charge pipe with HKS flange, except this pipe has no flange. This is for those of you that dont want an external blow off valve, but want to replace the OEM squishy rubber pipe with a hard pipe with threaded temp sensor.
While designing our upgraded intercooler for the PT Cruiser Turbo, we were looking at the factory piping that went from the intercooler to the throttle body, and thought to ourselves, "we can do better than this"! The factory piping is made from rubber hosing which can expand under high boost levels, and it has a plastic restriction where the temp sensor and tip lines connect.
Benefits
1) We created from scratch a one piece aluminum piping kit with couplers that eliminates all the factory piping on the cold side between the intercooler and throttle body(driver side). The piping is powdercoated with a sleek wrinkle black finish that is durable and great looking!
2) We were also able to reduce the overall length of the piping by making smoother angles, and shortening the piping compared to the factory pipe. Shortening the piping and reducing sharp angles allows for the turbocharger to spool up faster with less restriction.
3)Lastly, we have welded on a threaded bung, and have included a threaded air intake temp sensor instead of the OEM plug in type temp sensor. This threaded temp sensor prevents the sensor from blowing out at high boost and or causing leaks!
