Using this Perrin turbo inlet hose is a great way to enhance your Subaru's performance. To install it, you'll need about 3 hours. Keep in mind that you might have to remove the intake manifold during the process. Once installed, it'll work well with your factory turbo. This hose is built to last, thanks to its 5 - year manufacturer warranty. For maintenance, simply check it regularly for any signs of wear, like cracks or loose connections. If you notice any issues, contact the manufacturer. It's made of silicone and has a stainless - steel wire support, so it can handle normal engine heat. But avoid exposing it to extreme heat sources outside of the engine environment. Enjoy the improved airflow and extra power it brings to your car!
