Xc90 2003 air pipe to turbo

Johnboyzx10 · Feb 5th, 2020, 17:57

Hi my xc90 has lots of power and turbo looks like it works but when I rev it up high it flattens the rubber hoes going in to the turbo from the side soft rubber. Looks like it comes from the Air box please help thanks John

You need a new pipe. It's a moderately common failure on older models, not super expensive.

Yes, it will be considerably stiffer and will definitely not flatten when the engine is revved .

check your air filter too , a blocked one will make the air inlet pipe more likely to collapse ..

The pipe was modified after the engine had been in production a year or so - if you have a 2003 car you might have the early pipe (the later ones have larger ribbing).
