Default Rubber Air Intake Part

Question for all you Turbo owners.

After the plastic air intake and the air box, the air goes into the metal air distributor (v shaped tube). after that, it goes down to the turbos and passes through a rubber tube that also y's off and goes to the diverters. What is that rubber tube part called?!?

I want to replace them on my car, but cant find out what the parts called.

Thanks!!!

Default Trottle Body Boot?

Hi TwinTurboSixer,

If I'm following you correctly, I believe the part your refering to is the Throttle Body Boot (TBB). It should be located between the plastic Y-Pipe and the throttle body located at the front of your intake.

P.S. Did you ever resolve the issue with your CEL that was throwing the code for the Throttle Position Sensor?

Consider a heavy-duty TBB if you have chipped or are considering chipping.

hey guys,

The part I was talking about was the "Upper Intake". I replaced the Throttle Body Boot and the Diverters already because Im having the chip installed on the 6th of June.

Thanks for the attempt tho!

TwinTurboC5, I reset it, and it hasnt acted up since. Thank you for the suggestion of how to reset it! Appreciate it!
