Intercoolers, Charge Pipes and Down Pipes for Turbo and Supercharged Vehicles

 

Wagner Tuning offers a wide range of intercoolers and engine parts for a variety of vehicle manufacturers and models. The intercooler is undoubtedly one of the essential components of any car with a turbocharged or supercharged engine. This forced induction is effectively supported by the intercooler, which cools down the airflow leaving the compressor significantly. The team at Wagner Tuning has specialized in the development, design and production of intercoolers and other engine parts such as air intake systems, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, down pipes, charge pipes, Y-pipes, grilles and silicon hose kits. Thanks to innovative development software and measurement technology, the highest precision in production, and the high-quality demands on Wagner team members, they have become a globally operating company with a constantly growing circle of satisfied customers. Founded in 2002, the Wagner Tuning headquarters are located in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany, with a U.S. division located in Kilgore, Texas. At WAGNER TUNING, there is no standing still, as their development engineers are always on the pulse of the latest developments. Accesspeed is proud to offer Wagner Tuning products to our customers. With our lowest price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

Turbo Charge Pipes and Charge Tubes, Hot Side Charge Pipes, Cold Side Charge Pipes

 

What is a charge pipe?

A charge pipe is a free-flowing tube that replaces your vehicle's restrictive factory intercooler piping. A properly designed charge pipe will reduce turbo-charged air pressure loss while increasing air flow from the turbo to the intercooler.

 

Do charge pipes add horsepower?

Charge pipes increase throttle response on most applications, but are especially efficient on high performance vehicles that have aftermarket upgrades and/or tuning.

 

What is the difference between a turbo charge pipe (hot side) and an intercooler charge pipe (cold side)?

Turbo charge pipes are free-flowing tubes that replace the restrictive factory piping that connects your turbo to your intercooler. Properly designed turbo charge pipes (often called hot side turbo pipes) reduce turbocharged air pressure loss while increasing air flow from the turbo to the intercooler. Basically, the hot side (turbo side) of the charge pipe carries hot charge air from the turbo to the intercooler. Conversely, the intercooler charge pipes (often called cold side turbo pipes) connect the intercooler to the air intake on your vehicle. The cold side of the intercooler charge pipe takes the cooled air from the intercooler and directs it to the intake manifold. The cold side is also referred to as the intake side.

 

Does a charge pipe require a custom tune or program?

A tune is not required for the installation of most charge pipes. However, charge pipes will compliment a vehicle with a good tune, allowing you to take full advantage of the free-flowing air.
