What material is this turbocharger hose made from?

This Gates turbocharger hose is constructed from heat-resistant silicone, reinforced with polyester fabric. This combination is chosen for its ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain its shape under pressure.

Is this hose for the cold side or hot side of the turbocharger?

This hose is specifically designed for the hot side of the turbocharger system. This means it connects the turbocharger outlet to the intercooler or intake manifold, where exhaust heat makes temperatures highest.

What makes silicone and polyester reinforcement a good choice for this application?

Silicone offers better flexibility and resistance to oil and fuel compared to traditional rubber. The polyester reinforcement adds structural integrity, preventing the hose from expanding or collapsing under the significant pressure found in a turbocharged engine.

About this part

Product Details

This Gates turbocharger hose is made from a heat-resistant silicone reinforced with polyester fabric, designed to handle the high temperatures found on the hot side of your turbo system. It's built to replace the original hose on your 2011-2013 BMW X5 with the 3.0L 6-cylinder engine, ensuring a proper fit and reliable performance under boost.

The silicone construction offers better flexibility and durability compared to rubber hoses, resisting the oil and fuel that can degrade standard materials. The polyester reinforcement adds strength, preventing the hose from expanding or collapsing under pressure, which is crucial for maintaining consistent turbocharger operation and engine power. This hose is specifically for the hot side, meaning it connects the turbocharger outlet to the intercooler or intake manifold, where temperatures are highest.
