034Motorsport Charge Pipe Clamshell Reinforcement Kit EA839 2.9T V6 Audi RS4 | RS5 | S6 | S7 | Porsche Macan Turbo 2018+

As the pressures build in the charge air system with Stage 3 turbocharger upgrades, the thin, steel brazed flanges bolting the charge pipe to the turbocharger outlets on the factory charge pipe deform and crack. This allows for charge pressure to leak out, resulting in boost leaks that significantly reduce power. Once cracked, there is no reliable way to repair the OEM charge pipe, resulting in a costly repair bill to replace this component.

Rather than develop a full charge pipe replacement that offers no other performance benefits and comes with a hefty install cost, 034Motorsport engineers developed a clever solution that reinforces the factory charge pipe flanges using CNC-machined, 10mm-thick 304 stainless steel clamshells. By adding substantial structural support around the factory joint, the kit helps prevent the flange from flexing and cracking under extreme boost pressure, and tested to safely hold strong at 40+ PSI of charge pressure.

This reinforcement is recommended for all stages as a recommended preventative measure, and is especially valuable for Stage 3 builds applications where increased boost pressure significantly puts more stress on the factory charge pipe flange.

Features:

• Reinforces the Factory Brazed Joint at the OE Charge Pipe Turbo Flanges, Which Bend and Fail at Boost Levels Above 30psi
• Essential for Stage 3 Cars Running High Boost to Prevent Premature Failure of the Factory Brazed Flange Connection
• CNC-machined Billet 10mm Thick 304 Stainless Steel for Strength and Durability
