Tomei Turbo Suction Hose Kit | 2008-2015 Mitsubishi Evo X (TB301A-MT02A)
Tomei*SEE DETAILS
Mitsubishi Evolution X Turbo Suction Hose by Tomei
The enlarged turbo suction hose and enlarged turbo inlet elbow features a combined capacity of 135% vs the stock setup! Together with the smoother bends, this allows for a dramatic improvement in air flow efficiency to the turbo resulting in a significant performance increase.
The hoses are made using heat resistant, highly durable, fiber reinforced 4 ply silicon, infused with steel wires for maximum durability. Not only does this prevent the hose from collapsing/flexing under load, it also improves it's longevity as well, allowing it to sustain a high level of performance over time. Eliminating the accordion-style design found on the stock unit greatly reduces the build up of turbulence for a smoother, more efficient flow of air to the turbo. In addition, the various connecting tubes have also been streamlined to further improve the hose's flow efficiency.
Each kit includes a blind plug to use in place of the boost solenoid return nipple when using devices such as an aftermarket boost controller/solenoid.

Customer Reviews
Pros:
-Doesn't sacrifice induction sounds compared with bigger, metal intakes
-Works with OEM style intake components, including Cobb SF
-Bigger inlet elbow than stock
Cons
-Inlet elbow is difficult to install, requires modification to turbo bracket; need simple metal cutting fab tools. The wider elbow interferes with the angled turbo bracket.
-insuffient for high HP builds, requires use with OEM MAF housing. MIGHT work with 3" housing.
I would recommend this to anyone upgrading from OEM or who would want to use the Cobb SF system like I did. Just be prepared for the difficult elbow install, recommend some offset box wrenches for the hardware and preferably access to a bandsaw and belt grinder. Otherwise a vice, some kind of powered metal cutter, and some hand filing/sanding will be involved.
I’m swapping my RA turbo to an oem EVO X item and when looking for a turbo inlet pipe, I found this Tomei kit. With everything included, it’s made this swap a absolute breeze!! Top quality product with Japanese attention to detail, I highly recommend this kit for anyone with a EVO X or those RA owners looking to swap over to a stock frame EVO X setup.
I haven’t installed it yet. But quality is amazing, I mean it’s made it Japan. So it says it all! I wish they had this before I bought a different turbo inlet hose. It also comes with the metal piece to change in the turbo and the opening is wider and the piece makes the air flow more smoother. It comes with all the pieces and hardware ready to install. I already have the Cobb sf intake with the their heat shield. This will complement the intake even more!
Comes with everything you need for installation even gaskets!
