Performance & Application
This high flow charge air pipe is designed specifically for the Ford Fiesta ST 1.6L Turbo platform, replacing the restrictive factory charge pipe sections with a full 2″ diameter path. It’s built to accommodate the majority of aftermarket turbo upgrades that utilize a 2″ diameter compressor outlet, while remaining fully compatible with the stock turbocharger via the supplied transition elbow. When paired with a Garrett GT/GTX turbo upgrade, a high flowing mechanical or vacuum actuated valve is required at the 1″ side port to properly handle increased flow on throttle lift. This pipe is not recommended for Fiesta ST owners without turbo upgrade plans, as the stock charge pipe system provides adequate flow for stock turbo and bolt-on performance modifications — an intercooler upgrade is a better investment in that case.
Compatibility & Fitment
- 2013+ Ford Fiesta ST 1.6L Turbo
- Compatible with stock turbocharger (using supplied 1.5″ to 2″ silicone transition elbow)
- Compatible with aftermarket turbo upgrades utilizing 2″ diameter compressor outlet
- When used with a turbo upgrade in the stock location, a 2″ to 2″ 90 degree silicone coupler is required (not included)
What’s Included
- 1.5″ to 2″ silicone transition elbow (for stock turbo compatibility)
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the diameter of the stock turbo compressor outlet?
- The stock turbo compressor outlet diameter is 1.5″, which is smaller than the majority of aftermarket turbo upgrades that utilize a 2″ diameter compressor outlet.
- Can this pipe be used with the stock turbocharger?
- Yes, the high flow charge air pipe is compatible with the stock turbo using the supplied 1.5″ to 2″ silicone transition elbow.
- How much power can this charge pipe support?
- When paired with the high flow charge pipe and a turbo upgrade in the stock location (using a 2″ to 2″ 90 degree silicone coupler), you are ready to handle big turbo power up to 400WHP.
- Do I need this charge pipe if I’m keeping the stock turbo?
- No, this pipe is not recommended or necessary for Fiesta ST owners without turbo upgrade plans, since the stock charge pipe system provides adequate flow for the stock turbo and bolt-on performance modifications; an intercooler upgrade will yield better returns in that scenario.
- What happens to the side port if I upgrade to a Garrett GT/GTX turbo?
- Upgrading the stock turbo to a Garrett GT/GTX turbo requires a high flowing mechanical or vacuum actuated valve at the 1″ side port to handle the increased flow on throttle lift.
For Fiesta ST 1.6L Turbo owners planning a big turbo build, this high flow charge air pipe is the foundation that eliminates the factory bottleneck before it becomes a limiting factor.
