In Stock and Ready to Ship!
A major built in flaw from Subaru is the wimpy turbo inlet tube. Made from weak plastic and corrugated rubber to, it's a recipe to fail! And fail they have. A recent inspection of the Perrin 2002 WRX Project car revealed two failures. One leak at the BOV crossover, another at the turbo itself. This caused vacuum leaks, drivability was terrible. A quick 37minutes of labor later and idle was smooth, no leaks, no backfiring and BETTER performance! The superior construction of the PERRIN Turbo Inlet has solved the problem!
The PERRIN Turbo Inlet hose is also able make more HP, quicker throttle response, and improve acceleration! By removing the pleats found in the OEM hose, increasing the internal diameter, and the mirror smooth finish of the silicone all reduce intake restriction. Thus more HP. Also, PERRIN has an advantage over other brands. The Perrin Turbo Inlet hose is the only one on the market today that does NOT require the removal of the intake manifold! That is HUGE. Think about it, no fuel to drain, no water lines to remove, no gaskets to purchase, less nuts and bolts. A huge advantage if you do it yourself or pay a technician. Instead of paying for 4-6 hours labor and parts, you should only have to pay for1-1.5 hours and no extra parts. Over the years other competitors have come into the market with similar parts and taken some of the market share. This has lead Perrin to look to many other methods of building the Turbo Inlet Hose to make it different and better. They could make it in an aluminum tube, but someone already does this. They looked at a cast aluminum part, but would not be able to offer it at the same price. Perrin kept coming back to Silicone because of the installation. Every method they looked back to all had the same problem,installation. Since this was one of the biggest selling points of the Perrin Turbo Inlet Hose, they decided to stick with silicone.
Over the years other competitors have come into the market with similar parts and taken some of the market share. This has lead us to look to many other methods of building the Inlet hose to make it different and better. We could make it in an aluminum tube, but someone already does this.

Every method we looked back to all had the same problem,installation. Since this was one of our biggest selling points we had to stick with this.
 Future PERRIN Inlet HoseSo how can we make the part better? A very small but damaging issue we had with some of our parts was the reports of them collapsing. To this day roughly ten out of thousands of parts were returned to us with this issue. The issue was due to the silicone not being cured long enough. While this was a very small issue to us, it was publicly exploited on the internet and made out to be a much bigger problem that it really was. Again, this small issue could be completely remedied if we made a simple and effective change. We could add a wire that would run through the middle of the hose and would provide enough support that collapsing issues would be gone completely and still be able to install it! So there we have it! Along with this, some slight revisions to the included pieces, and instructions were done. We feel that these changes will make an already great part even better. And with ZERO change in price.
