The aFe BladeRunner Hot and Cold Charge Pipe Kit is a high-flow replacement for restrictive factory charge pipes, crafted from durable mandrel-bent aluminum and finished in wrinkle-black powder coat with laser-etched branding. By smoothing and increasing the airflow path between the turbocharger and engine, this kit reduces pressure loss and heat soak, helping your truck’s turbo system breathe more efficiently for stronger throttle response and potential horsepower and torque improvements. Includes premium hardware and robust silicone couplings for leak-free connections.

Plug-and-Play Replacement: Bolt-in design fits without cutting or major modification.
Why This Matters
Upgrading restrictive OEM charge pipes to a free-flowing aluminum kit like this reduces turbo backpressure and heat accumulation, allowing boost to build more quickly and efficiently — especially valuable on performance builds or tuned engines where airflow restrictions can bottleneck potential gains.
