HSP Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle (2011-2016 Chevrolet / GMC)
HSP Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle (2011-2016 Chevrolet / GMC)
The 582-HSP is renowned as the Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle, specifically designed for LML Duramax-equipped 2011-2016 Chevrolet and GMC trucks. This bundle is an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking to enhance their vehicle’s performance and efficiency.
Let’s delve into the details of the Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle for the LML Duramax.
The LML Duramax is an exceptionally powerful system, but it often falls short of its potential due to failures and inadequate airflow caused by factory parts. Recognizing this issue, HSP Diesel promptly identified the necessary improvements and developed the Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle for the LML.
Now, let’s focus on the Hot Side Tube component of the bundle. The factory Hot Side Tube often fails due to its two-piece design. HSP Diesel recognized this flaw and made a significant improvement by redesigning the Hot Side Pipe to a single-piece construction. Additionally, they incorporated high-strength silicone boots at both ends, eliminating the common failure point. Furthermore, the Hot Side Tube is increased in size to 3 inches, resulting in a substantial increase in airflow, potentially up to 40 percent compared to the factory standard.
Moving on to the Cold Side Tube, let’s explore its features. The Cold Side Tube is also included in the Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle and offers similar benefits.
The factory cold side that comes equipped on the LML Duramax is often overlooked. While many people focus on the frequently failing Hot Side tube, they should also pay attention to the cold side. Although it’s not as common to fail as the hot side, we often notice that the LML Cold Side tube restricts the charge air system. To address this issue, HSP Diesel increased the size of the Cold Side Pipe to 3 inches and also used mandrel bends to reduce turbulence and enhance airflow. When combined with the other parts in the Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle, the Cold Side Tube becomes a significant improvement.
Now, let’s talk about the Max Flow Bridge, a crucial component of the Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle. The Max Flow Bridge serves as a connector that brings all the parts together. Unlike the factory part, it features a two-piece construction, making installation easier and virtually eliminating the risk of a boost leak due to the O-ring seal in the middle. This unique design allows for flow matching, ensuring that reliability and increased airflow can occur simultaneously.
Lastly, let’s discuss the VGT Intake Mouthpiece, another essential component of the Intercooler Charge Pipe Bundle. The VGT Intake Mouthpiece plays a vital role in optimizing airflow and enhancing engine performance.
The VGT Intake Mouthpiece, handcrafted to provide seamless transitions and bends, enhances airflow by both increasing and reducing turbulence, as achieved by HSP Diesel.
