We installed the first suction pipe we received from Agency Power today and are pleased with the fitment, product quality, and finished result. This pipe works in conjunction with the Agency Power Air Intake Kit by replacing the stock rubber tube connecting the mass air flow sensor to the turbo. The new suction pipe allows for less turbulent air flow from the intake filter all the way to the turbo. The hard pipe also eliminates any collapse or fluctuation that hoses can experience during hard acceleration.
What is included?
This kit includes the suction pipe, three silicone couplers, five hose clamps, one vacuum line, and one vacuum line threaded fitting with Teflon tape pre-applied.
How long does this part take to install?
Due to the cramped space in the engine bay it does take some patience getting the pipe aligned into place and all clamps secured tightly. In all you should expect to spend between 30 minutes to an hour to install this product in conjunction with the air intake kit.
What tools are required?
You will need a quarter inch drive ratchet, long extension, 8mm socket, 10 mm socket, and a pair of pliers.
Installation Directions.
Remove the blow off valve or re-circulation valve from the stock suction pipe and place to the side
Move the blow off valve return line out of the way.
Remove vacuum line connecting the suction pipe to the valve cover. Remove the air box or cone filter and mass air flow sensor and place aside. The factory hose clamps use 10mm bolts with a Phillips head.
Remove the stock suction pipe from the vehicle and disconnect remaining small vacuum line.
Install the threaded vacuum line fitting in the new suction pipe and fit the couplers and clamps.
Install the suction pipe on the turbo flange and connect vacuum lines. Only snug your hose clamps at this time. The provided clamps have an 8mm slotted head.
Test the alignment of the pipe with the blow off valve return hose as well as the mass air flow sensor forward on the intake system.
Once you have confirmed everything to be lined up it is time to tighten the clamps and reinstall the intake system from the mass air flow sensor forward.
