How many boots are included?
The kit includes six total boots: two intercooler boots, two intake spider to intercooler pipe boots, and two intake spider to intake plenum boots.
What makes these boots better than factory boots?
The 5-layer aramid reinforced silicone construction offers significantly greater strength, temperature resistance, and durability than factory rubber boots while supporting higher boost levels.
Are clamps included?
Yes. The kit includes twelve American-made stainless steel T-bolt clamps for superior clamping force and reliability.
What is the pressure rating of the boots?
The boots are rated to withstand up to 180 PSI, making them suitable for stock and high-performance applications.
Why is cleaning the intercooler piping important before installation?
Oil residue can reduce the grip between silicone boots and piping surfaces, increasing the likelihood of boost leaks or boot slippage under load.
