What is the cold side of a turbocharger system?

The cold side of a turbocharger system refers to the components that handle the air after it has been compressed by the turbocharger and cooled by the intercooler. This includes the piping that carries the air to the engine's throttle body.

What happens if this turbo hose fails?

If this turbo hose fails, you will likely experience a loss of boost pressure. This can result in reduced engine power, poor acceleration, and potentially a check engine light.

What material is this hose made from?

This hose is constructed from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is chosen for its ability to withstand the high temperatures present in the turbocharger system.

About this part

Product Details

This Gates cold side turbocharger hose is made from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is crucial for handling the high temperatures found in the turbo system. It's designed to connect the intercooler to the throttle body on 2006-2008 Volkswagen Passat models with the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. A failing turbo hose can lead to a loss of boost pressure, causing a noticeable drop in engine power and performance, so replacing it with a well-built part like this Gates hose is important for keeping your turbo system running right.

Gates uses a reinforced construction with polyester plies to ensure this hose can withstand the constant pressure fluctuations and heat cycles it's subjected to. This helps prevent premature cracking or bursting, which can be common issues with older or lower-quality hoses. The hose is shaped to fit the specific routing of the cold side of the turbo system on these Passat models, making installation more straightforward.
