with a small bamboo satay stick = you can spend 10 minutes tidying up all the vents in the intercooler = because air wont flow through bent intercooler fins ! i do this yearly it is a good practice !
That is a serious extension. I liked the install video. Very realistic play by play of what to expect. Great job Best part "this is soaked". "might be something leaking". 😂 I hope mine isn't soaked. I've also never seen a crow bar used this much in an auto install.
Hahah yes their are plenty of secret tricks of the trade and the pry bar definitely comes in handy here and there. Overall once I replaced this turbo inlet hose, it made a worlds difference on how the vehicle felt and drove. I was losing a lot of power previously and the cars computer was confused with all the extra air leaking past the MAF sensor.
lol this job is such a pain! It's easier to just remove the manifold in my experience and reveal the fuel and vacuum nightmare underneath. Every hose and vacuum line will end up needing to be replaced if their old, you should buy some heat sleeveing for every tube, hose, vacuum line while ur in it. This part of the EJ motor is so under engineered its absurd. Good video, thank you!
Yes I cant agree with you more! This job was a big pain but its so worth it once its done. And when I first got the car i replaced almost all of the vacuum hoses because they all looked old. It was a good move on my part im glad i did otherwise i can guarantee i would of had ran into other issues down the road.
got my COBB inlet and I was having hard time pushing the COBB inlet into mine. But this video really helps ...although Ive spent few hours to remove the painful BOV hose down there. Now the final part is how to get the FAT COBB inlet into it.
Decent video I feel you missed a very important part that I had a very hard time with which is the blow off valve hose that connects to the inlet hose he kind of skipped over that yours has a little bit more of a 90 than mine but I'm sure if I'm having problems with it other people did as well other than that well done
Dudeeeeeee, I’m running super lean and replaced a shit load of things with no luck… I really hope this turbo inlet solves the problem. Thanks for the video
Well the good news is that the turbo inlet hose has probably one of the biggest affects on your engine running too lean. Its the same hose path as your air intake, (the air intake connects to it) so if you have a hole in the hose it will definitely suck air in past the MAF sensor, causing your engine to run extra lean. Usually the hose rips where it attaches to the turbo, around the hose clamp area. Hope this helps, good luck on the install!
@@Fighka303 That would be because when you are under boost, its sucking more air, to spin your turbo faster, to move the car faster. The more air you try to suck through the turbo inlet hose when it has a hole in it, the more air that will slip in through the hole which is past your MAF sensor, causing your car to run really Lean especially under boost. I hope that the turbo inlet solves the problem for good.
Turbo inlets rot away due to the buildup of oil in the inlet due to the gas blowby from the cylinders into the pressure control system. There are two different vents, one from the crankcase, & one that's Tee'd off from both valve covers. the oil gets sucked into the turbo & lowers the octane of your gas, putting you at a greater risk of knock & detonation. Ever wonder why she smells of burned oil after boosted driving? Invest into a dual oil catch can system.
Oil on the bottom of the turbo inlet is probably just pooled oil from driving the car, then just shutting it off instead of letting it idle to properly drain the oil from the turbo after driving it.
Just some advice: that cap that you have on the radiator, actually belongs on the tank on top of the engine. The one that goes on the radiator doesn’t have wings.
This is actually the cap that Koyo sent with the rad. It does seem now that I look at pictures that they should be the circle caps, although I do see some 02-07 wrx's with the wings, idk why. But good note to take, thank you!
@@zachs.9600 I would just make sure that your Rad Cap has the correct pressure rating for what you need. Thanks man I appreciate that and good luck with yours!
Great Film! To take the time for the rest of us while performing this pain of a job....BRAVO! My 06 WRX STi has been more challenging to work on than a FRENCH car. Persistence always gets it but I can curse fluently in 45 languages
David Estes hhahahah yeah this job was probably one of the biggest pains I've had to deal with on the car, it's manageable but it does take time and patience, glad to help!
Id rather install a clutch than a inlet. My suggestion to you all is IF you want to do this: Plan for a whole day and remove the Intake manifold bolts so you can at leas move it around to snake the hoses and other related bits around. Its not a hard job so much as its an annoying one. Also use this time to extend you hoses and buy a Silicone or hard style inlet so it will be your last time.
What's up man, just replaced my inlet tonight after a gas leak occurred right under the inlet, and this guide was exactly what I needed! Thanks for the vid!
@@Mamba4Lifee There were some lines underneath the intake manifold that were loose at the hose clamps and the lines became brittle. So definitely check for that.
Chris Groeber thanks man! did you have to change out the lines? Or did you just tighten them up. Mine leaks from that area on really cold starts during the winter is when I notice it more lol never on warm days
@@Mamba4Lifee that's when I noticed it too! I replaced the brittle lines and tightened all the loose hose clamps. No clue how they were loose but they were
@@ryanreedtv3242 I do believe that the stock air filter box hoses line up good with the Perrin Turbo Inlet hose. If it doesn't line up perfectly you could always get a connecting hose piece and 2 hose clamps to make it "fit better" but I personally don't think you will even need to do all that it should just line up correctly. And as far as installing the short ram intake, its recommended that anytime you change parts (especially on Subaru's) you get the car Pro Tuned at a shop on a dyno... However, you do not need to do this right away, but beware that you could potentially run into a check engine light possibly throwing a LEAN code. I would say try to get it tuned if possible at some point, but I cant see it hurting the car to just install it and daily drive it around. Also, with an aftermarket intake, it can allow for a little bit more potential for small power increases, but this would only be true if you get the car protuned.. otherwise its just for sound and looks. Hope this helps!
@@VinnieT I'm going for good looks (engine bay too) and reliability. So I might not do the pro tune. Although I hear conflicting arguments on that subject for this car. Some say a good exhaust/intake with a Cobb ap pro tune is better for reliblilty if you drive responsibly. So I'm not sure yet on the tune.
Solid man you got a sub from me. I got protuned and I'm almost certain this is why I'm still running a little lean lol typical gash right near turbo I'm going with the Cobb one and will be coming back to your video if I decide to do it myself! Thanks for your hard work man!
hey man! great video! think a better solution to put in the turbo intake inlet would be taking off the intake manifold. wouldve helped out alot and clear up some space and without risk of messing something up :) but sweet vid!
I think i might have this problem with my B4, i've checked so many different things and replaced so many obvious things- rep cam sensor, rep battery, rep fuel filter, injector clean ontop wire observations, so under-engineered
Hello and thank you. The size of the clamp will depend on your intake size and the turbo inlet hose size. Both my SPT Intake and Turbo Inlet hose are 3 inch diameter. So get a hose clamp that fits 3 inch tubes if your using the same setup as me. My advice to keep the Turbo Inlet Hose in, is to make sure you fully put the hose on and clamp it down tight while pushing the Turbo Inlet Hose in as hard as you can. Try to move anything out of the way that is going against you trying to keep that Inlet Hose in fully. (its a pain but its possible)
Awesome video!!! Thank you so much for this. Quick question, do you think a cracked inlet duct or faulty like the old one you had can trigger a small evap leak?
VinnieT8 thank you so much for replying, am going to do what you did here in this video and zip tie every hose and reset check engine to see if it works, if it does do you think I should replace the gas valves by the tank? So far I replaced the purge valve, selenoid valve, canister and light keeps coming 😒
If it runs roughly at idle, then you can try gently pinching hoses with pliers and if the engine idle changes and gets better while pinching a hose, that's one way to find the leak, also if you have a smoke tester that would be a good place to start. Evap leaks could be so many things so it's good to start with something like a smoke test to save you hours of your time.
Great vid bro, just one question will this fit on a vf34 turbo?also your oil pressure gauge when its a normal temperature on idle what is the needle sitting at ?mine stays at 20 and on WOT its between 60 and 80
Thanks for the video. I have the same SPT intake. Could you clarify the connection between the SPT air intake outlet and the turbo inlet? You are using two T clamps and one hose clamp. Is the middle clamp (a T clamp) securing the intake outlet to the turbo inlet? If so, what is the hose clamp for?
I believe its more preference whether you use T Clamps or Hose Clamps. I used a hose clamp where the turbo inlet attaches to the turbo, then used a (2) T clamps where the Air filter attaches to the Turbo inlet. Then 1 more hose clamp on the turbo inlet right next to the (2) T clamps because there is a metal insert sleeve that comes out of the turbo inlet and attaches to the air intake, and I wanted to make sure it cant slip out of the turbo inlet at all. You may not need to do this but I decided its better to be safe then sorry. Hope this answers your questions. Thanks for checking it out and hope the video helped ya out!
@@VinnieT Video definitely helped. On a Perrin is the metal insert sleeve fixed in place or can you move it in/out of the silicone hose? I'm going to try the Mishimoto but it looks like it has a metal insert sleeve also. Thanks again.
@@jukeboxzero1 I believe its removeable but its pretty tightly wedged in there. I could be wrong but it seemed to me that it could be removed. So that's why I decided to add the extra hose clamp. No harm no foul either way haha.
Technically you should always tune the car after changing this, because I believe the stock intake is only a 2 or 2.5 inch, and this is a 3 inch, so you will have more space for air flow to come in... But you can get away without getting it tuned, if you notice anything weird after you get it running and drive it around, then I would look at getting it tuned. Should feel a lot stronger and more power if you install this after having a badly ripped one like I did.
This install was an absolute fucking nightmare. SOOO wish your video was around when I did my inlet install last year! Would've helped me a lot. One thing I had to do when I installed mine was have a friend push from the front while I pulled from the back with a rubber hose that I strung through the inlet hose and up through one of the holes along with lots of silicon lube! Also, do you know the part number for the Mishimoto hose you used from the BPV to the inlet hose? For some reason can't find it anywhere! My stock BPV hose is getting pinched by the throttle body :( Thanks man. Great and incredibly informative vid!
Hey man sorry my video was late hahah, and yeah im not 100% sure what the part number is, but I buy all my parts off this company because they have been nothing less then amazing and spot on with getting me the right parts and shipping me them VERY fast! Here's a link to the website www.definedusa.com/ and also check them out on facebook! The guy who owns this place is a great guy and will help you save alot of $ and hassle. Here's a link to the Turbo Inlet Page, www.definedusa.com/category-s/2320.htm At the bottom you'll see 2 different Perrin Turbo Inlets. One is a 2.5 Inch and the other is a 3 inch. Hope this helps!
Almost looks like you used this hose for the one that goes from the bypass valve to the turbo inlet hose www.definedusa.com/product-p/psp-eng-515.htm The hose you see at 0:26 in your video. Do you know if it was that one? Having lots of problems with the throttle body crushing this hose. Thanks again man!
Joshua Reynolds sorry I couldn’t find a link for it but your best bet is to call a local Subaru dealership and talk to their parts guys, make sure you give them your VIN # so they will be looking at the correct parts for your car. They have parts diagrams that has all the parts listen out on it. Some dealerships will even email you a picture of the diagram and you can then figure out what exact parts your looking for. Hope this helps.
Im guessing maybe it depends where you ordered them from? Ive noticed certain places dont include the full set of hardware. I would talk to the guys over at www.definedusa.com/ if your looking for any parts in the future.
Fruit Punch Samurai I doubt that you did, the fuel lines are metal tubes and you would really need to bend one pretty good to break it. But it could of been the injectors you were smelling.
thomas benson I'm sure they do, I would give the guys over at defined performance a call, that's where I get my parts and they have usually everything for the cheapest prices plus super fast shipping!
Could this cause my car to run extremely rich and start to misfire? Is misfiring on cylinder 2 and 4 "driver side". Haven't had a chance to check it tho
Only way to really tell is to hook up a scanner and see the numbers, also get a flash light and peak at your turbo inlet hose and see if it has a huge rip in it where it connects to the turbo. thats where they are always known to rip.
Eddie Porter I’m not sure exactly what part your speaking of, but what I can say is I used the stock MAF sensor, in an SPT intake, which connects to the newly installed Perrin Turbo Inlet Hose.
I think the 2006 intercoolers are okay, ive heard mixed opinions on them. alot of people upgrade them to the Processwest or other aftermarket intercoolers
freshkicks ohhh that piece comes with the turbo inlet. So it's turbo Inlet specific and the sizes may vary, I don't know any specific name but I know not every turbo Inlet comes with them
how long did this job take? i just noticed i had a boost leak hitting 8 psi where i have to hit 16, checked my inlet and that shits cut all the way around by the clamp
Yeah, I DEFINITELY recommend getting like a Perrin or Mishimoto Turbo inlet hose. AND get a new hose clamp that is not similar to the stock one. I believe they call them T clamps. its a lot safer for clamping on the rubber and it wont eat it up and dig into it like the stock one does. And this job took me a little longer probably like 3 hours but that was because I wanted to make this video to help everyone. If i just ran through this job without making a video probably would of took only 2 hours. Once you get the OEM turbo inlet out, the hardest part is getting the new one slid into the right place and adjusting it so it fits perfect. It is a big Pain in the butt but just be patient and take your time, be careful to not rip anything or break anything in the process of doing it. Patience is key, don't rush, you will get frustrated and think its impossible, but its possible trust me!
no no no do not make the mistake i did! I ORDERED 3" FOR STI Vf39 TURBO AND NOW IM STRANDED WITHOUT CAR FOR 5 DAYS! STI uses 2.4''. 3'' is for aftermarket HUGE turbos
VinnieT8 yeah I noticed that too, but yours hasn’t started tearing into the inlet has it? I have a Perrin too and wouldn’t want it to tear over time from movement on the bolt of the power steering line
RichardUzumaki no mine hasn’t started tearing at all, I think they should be good, also the Perrin turbo inlet hose is thicker then OEM Stock turbo inlet hose.
Yes it gets in the way where the Turbo inlet hose attaches to the turbo it self. Theres a stock crappy clamp that holds the hose to the turbo and you should always replace this with a new good hose clamp (the ones that dont cut into the rubber) and to tighten them up the intercooler will forsure be in your way. You have to also keep in mind that your working with a huge solid rubber hose in a very tight space. so to have access from that angle could make the difference of you getting the hose in or your car being down an extra day.
josue cervantes yes my stock Inlet pipe had barely ripped and I ran it for a day and planned on replacing it right away but did one pull and fried my turbo. Now I had to buy a used one and a new inlet hose.
with a small bamboo satay stick = you can spend 10 minutes tidying up all the vents in the intercooler = because air wont flow through bent intercooler fins ! i do this yearly it is a good practice !

im having trouble finding the male end of the sensor on the inlet tube. Where is it connected and where should i be looking to find irt?
You should see a wiring running to the sensor that should be mounted inline on the turbo inlet hose. Usually right on the top.

The Turbo Inlet Hose should have nothing to do with any laws that I'm aware of. Its just a rubber tube that your engine intakes clean air from.
Has anyone done this then have issues with car reading misfires in 1 and 3?
Thanks for taking the time to make this video A++

Excellent video sir, thank you!!
Did you get a retune?
Yes I DID get my car (Pro-Tuned) at a local shop.
Were you noticing a putting sound (for lack of a better term) coming from there before you replaced the inlet hose?
Hi nice video what size was the clamp for the turbo inlet to blue pipe also any tips on them staying on mines keep popping off enough to let air in
Hello and thank you.
The size of the clamp will depend on your intake size and the turbo inlet hose size. Both my SPT Intake and Turbo Inlet hose are 3 inch diameter. So get a hose clamp that fits 3 inch tubes if your using the same setup as me.
My advice to keep the Turbo Inlet Hose in, is to make sure you fully put the hose on and clamp it down tight while pushing the Turbo Inlet Hose in as hard as you can. Try to move anything out of the way that is going against you trying to keep that Inlet Hose in fully. (its a pain but its possible)

TheRealPIKORO7 not sure if it would trigger an Evap leak, but it is extra air after the MAF sensor, so it would throw a code or check engine light.

Hey man sorry my video was late hahah, and yeah im not 100% sure what the part number is, but I buy all my parts off this company because they have been nothing less then amazing and spot on with getting me the right parts and shipping me them VERY fast!
Here's a link to the website www.definedusa.com/ and also check them out on facebook! The guy who owns this place is a great guy and will help you save alot of $ and hassle.
Here's a link to the Turbo Inlet Page, www.definedusa.com/category-s/2320.htm
At the bottom you'll see 2 different Perrin Turbo Inlets. One is a 2.5 Inch and the other is a 3 inch. Hope this helps!
Right on! Thank you Vinnie!
Almost looks like you used this hose for the one that goes from the bypass valve to the turbo inlet hose
www.definedusa.com/product-p/psp-eng-515.htm
The hose you see at 0:26 in your video.
Do you know if it was that one? Having lots of problems with the throttle body crushing this hose. Thanks again man!
Yeah I used a similar one, here's the link, www.definedusa.com/Mishimoto-Silicone-Radiator-Hose-Kit-p/mmhose-wrx-01.htm
Thanks dude! Will see if this radiator hose does a better job than the bpv hose to the turbo inlet.
WTF where does the 3rd elbow of the inlet connect too???? you skipped around 32:54
plus how the fuck did you get that tube perrin sent you over the PCV diagnosis connection??
Idk buddy maybe read the instructions that Perrin themselves gives you to find out instead of relying on the video.
I’m missing what you called the Evap solenoid. Could I get a link to where I could buy that and the hoses that go to it?
Joshua Reynolds sorry I couldn’t find a link for it but your best bet is to call a local Subaru dealership and talk to their parts guys, make sure you give them your VIN # so they will be looking at the correct parts for your car. They have parts diagrams that has all the parts listen out on it. Some dealerships will even email you a picture of the diagram and you can then figure out what exact parts your looking for. Hope this helps.
My Perrin inlet did not come with those metal fittings? Is that just me or everyone else?
Im guessing maybe it depends where you ordered them from? Ive noticed certain places dont include the full set of hardware. I would talk to the guys over at www.definedusa.com/ if your looking for any parts in the future.
Great vid, nice car,
Tommy H thanks man I really appreciate it! Glad to help!
Dude thank you so much!
Np! Glad I could help!
Damn I feel like I pinched a fuel line while installing this I smelled a whiff of gas but it was gone right after hopefully I didn’t though.
Fruit Punch Samurai I doubt that you did, the fuel lines are metal tubes and you would really need to bend one pretty good to break it. But it could of been the injectors you were smelling.
rotated turbo tuned on speed density > smash with hammer
Do they make a cap that will close the blow off valve hose? I have a front mount inter cooler so I have no need for the original bov
thomas benson I'm sure they do, I would give the guys over at defined performance a call, that's where I get my parts and they have usually everything for the cheapest prices plus super fast shipping!
The vacuum hose that goes from throttle to ??? Where does it go the vacuum hose on driver side of throttle @VinnieT8
EL VILLEGAS can u link me the time section in the video your talking about
Could this cause my car to run extremely rich and start to misfire? Is misfiring on cylinder 2 and 4 "driver side". Haven't had a chance to check it tho
Only way to really tell is to hook up a scanner and see the numbers, also get a flash light and peak at your turbo inlet hose and see if it has a huge rip in it where it connects to the turbo. thats where they are always known to rip.
does your power steering pump feed line rub up on the inlet ? my power steering pump feed like bolt is totally pushing into it
Daniel Wippich yes mines the same way, I believe there all like that because of the design.
Nice job man.
what size turbo inlet hose u mean installed
how well that revmove fault code, have a subaru forester 2007
Stephan Guttormsen you have to clear the codes with a scanner
Do I need an aftermarket post maf hose when changing my turbo inlet?
Eddie Porter I’m not sure exactly what part your speaking of, but what I can say is I used the stock MAF sensor, in an SPT intake, which connects to the newly installed Perrin Turbo Inlet Hose.
is the 2006 intercooler lower Quality?
on my 2004 wrx 2.0 it doesnt look that "shabby"
I think the 2006 intercoolers are okay, ive heard mixed opinions on them. alot of people upgrade them to the Processwest or other aftermarket intercoolers
By the same time....change the PCV..it cost nothing and do lot of good for you engine!
Yes you could always do that too!
Sly Stone definately!
air oil separator ftw
This was a POS job when I did mines. Worth it at the end though.
Yes totally worth it to replace it.
What is that silver round piece in front of the turbo inlet hose where the intake connects called? I need to buy it for my turbo inlet
freshkicks I believe your talking about a hose clamp
VinnieT8 it’s that silver piece that goes inside the turbo inlet not the hose clamp
freshkicks ohhh that piece comes with the turbo inlet. So it's turbo Inlet specific and the sizes may vary, I don't know any specific name but I know not every turbo Inlet comes with them
VinnieT8 dang I need the name of it 😭, thanks anyways I appreciate it 👍
Did you tune your car ? I want to put an inlet pipe but idk if I need a tune
you don't need a tune for an inlet but in order to see any gains from it you should get one.
how long did this job take? i just noticed i had a boost leak hitting 8 psi where i have to hit 16, checked my inlet and that shits cut all the way around by the clamp
Yeah, I DEFINITELY recommend getting like a Perrin or Mishimoto Turbo inlet hose. AND get a new hose clamp that is not similar to the stock one. I believe they call them T clamps. its a lot safer for clamping on the rubber and it wont eat it up and dig into it like the stock one does. And this job took me a little longer probably like 3 hours but that was because I wanted to make this video to help everyone. If i just ran through this job without making a video probably would of took only 2 hours. Once you get the OEM turbo inlet out, the hardest part is getting the new one slid into the right place and adjusting it so it fits perfect. It is a big Pain in the butt but just be patient and take your time, be careful to not rip anything or break anything in the process of doing it. Patience is key, don't rush, you will get frustrated and think its impossible, but its possible trust me!
Would you need to tune your car after replacing the inlet hose?
What size should I get my inlet. Does it matter if it's 2.4" or 3"
2.4 for stock turbo and 3 in for aftermarket turbo or sti turbo
no no no do not make the mistake i did! I ORDERED 3" FOR STI Vf39 TURBO AND NOW IM STRANDED WITHOUT CAR FOR 5 DAYS! STI uses 2.4''. 3'' is for aftermarket HUGE turbos
Is it normal for the inlet to be squished against that power steering line? Lol mine has the same issue
RichardUzumaki yeah I don’t think there’s really any way around that, it’s just a snug fit and the oem one looked the same.
VinnieT8 yeah I noticed that too, but yours hasn’t started tearing into the inlet has it? I have a Perrin too and wouldn’t want it to tear over time from movement on the bolt of the power steering line
RichardUzumaki no mine hasn’t started tearing at all, I think they should be good, also the Perrin turbo inlet hose is thicker then OEM Stock turbo inlet hose.
Is there a reason for removing the intercooler? Just curious
Seemed to have seen everyone remove for the inlet install but what part of it is in the way?
Yes it gets in the way where the Turbo inlet hose attaches to the turbo it self. Theres a stock crappy clamp that holds the hose to the turbo and you should always replace this with a new good hose clamp (the ones that dont cut into the rubber) and to tighten them up the intercooler will forsure be in your way. You have to also keep in mind that your working with a huge solid rubber hose in a very tight space. so to have access from that angle could make the difference of you getting the hose in or your car being down an extra day.
Pretty much every job u do on these involves removing the damn tmic
Can that cause your turbo to blow up
josue cervantes yes my stock Inlet pipe had barely ripped and I ran it for a day and planned on replacing it right away but did one pull and fried my turbo. Now I had to buy a used one and a new inlet hose.
Yeah I believe so it could
Subaru- takes all day to replace 2pipes(hoses)
Photograph by Jeremie Ross yep , haa change the spark plugs too!!!
What Subaru Does this range to?
Jovani Quintero 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX and I believe the STI is basically the same job as well.
A good upgarde to the video could be to ducktap your phone to your forehead ^^ so you would have to hands free
Nice video tho =)
Talking off the hard power steering line will be a major favor to yourself.
You're obviously very good with cars. But please buy yourself a tripod for your camera or get a helping hand. My eyes hurt from all the shaking..
