My Speed6 had the old turbo intake taken off multiple times in the past year, and the OEM rubber coupler had turned to plastic, so each time it sealed less efficiently and was certainly letting air in post-MAF. Since they don’t make OEM replacements you basically need something aftermarket.

This piece fits pretty well, but again being installed on a Speed6 there were some things missing from the CS instructions and minor fitment issues that don’t hurt function, but will require you removing and replacing factory that you may not have replacements for on hand.

1. It really should come with the little rubber isolator that bolts and secures it near the HPFP. By now most are rubber and mine got shredded trying to get it out of the old, but even worse trying to get it installed on the new. Had to improvise with o-rings.
2. BPV recirc hose barb doesn’t have a lip, so you need to crank it down with a hose clamp instead of the OEM spring clamp… and it so close to the thermostat housing compared to before that a hose clamp barely slid past into position.
3. The Speed6 has hard plastic wire loom that attaches to the OEM pipe, that is not included, and the other attachment point is a metal bracket that needs to be removed, so now that plastic is rattling free in my engine bay. I had to get some zip-ties to stop rattle and stop any strain that may be put on connectors as a result.

Again the part is solid and works, CS does design really well, and tests their parts heavily on Speed3, but this is another where Speed6 owners should prepare to have a way to get off-the-shelf parts at store and will need to be mechanically inclined enough to improvise some during install.

huge improvement over the OEM TIP, building more boost and it sounds nicer!

Really durable, you hear a good hiss from the turbocharger when ever you're on boost. Very easy install and in my opinion better than a silicone turbo inlet pipe. Boost air temp is incredibly low with my cold air intake from cp-e. There is no other company that makes aluminum inlet pipes other than htp(hi-tuned performance) and corksport. The price was just right for the performance and drivers experience.

Product quality is a solid 5. Well machined and everything fits perfectly. Powder-coated black looks great and still maintains a stealth approach. Install was easy. Took about 2 hours from start to finish. Taking my time and not rushing anything. Ran this TIP for 2 days with stock intake. I noticed a more linear power band as far as boost pressure, and I can now hold boost at higher RPM levels (6500 RPM). Great product.

Hey Derek. If install a turbo inlet in my speed do I need to get a tune up
