The factory turbo inlet on the 2015-2021 WRX is made from hardened plastic that gets brittle after years of heat cycling. Eventually, it cracks—often near the connectors—leading to frustrating air leaks that kill your idle, ruin your fuel trims, and are a nightmare to diagnose. \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"351\"\u003eCOBB Tuning\u003c\/b\u003e solved this engineering flaw by casting the entire component in rugged aluminum. This isn't just a replacement; it is an elimination of a future failure point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eBut durability is just the baseline. COBB Tuning designed this inlet to flow. By expanding the internal diameter to 70mm and smoothing out the internal geometry, this part removes restriction before the air even hits the turbo. They also addressed the notorious By-Pass Valve (BPV) connection—a common leak spot—by swapping the rigid plastic interface for a heavy-duty reinforced silicone coupler. Whether you are running a stock tune or pushing a Stage 2 build, this inlet offers the mechanical reliability you need. Don't wait for your stock part to crack and leave you stranded. Upgrade to the COBB Cast Aluminum Inlet and lock in your performance for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"COBB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41975673978960,"sku":"COBB745450","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0058\/0252\/4785\/files\/745450_main.jpg?v=1768928105","url":"https:\/\/shop.redline360.com\/products\/cobb-cast-turbo-inlet-hose-subaru-forester-xt-2014-2018-cast-aluminum-745450","provider":"Redline360","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
