An aluminium turbo horn, often referred to as a turbo inlet or turbo intake horn, is a component used in turbocharged engines. It connects the air intake system to the turbocharger, helping to direct and manage airflow. Here’s an overview of its features and benefits:
Purpose:
- Airflow Management: The turbo horn facilitates smooth airflow into the turbocharger, optimizing the air-to-fuel ratio for better engine performance.
- Reduced Turbo Lag: By providing a more efficient path for air to enter the turbo, it can help reduce turbo lag, allowing for quicker spool-up times.
- Enhanced Sound: Many enthusiasts appreciate the distinctive sound produced by aluminium turbo horns, adding to the vehicle's performance aesthetics.
Applications:
- Performance Vehicles: Commonly used in modified and racing applications where maximizing airflow and performance is crucial.
- Custom Builds: Often found in custom turbo setups and builds, allowing enthusiasts to tailor their systems for specific performance goals.
