ZZP Silicone Couplers
Has anyone used these silicone couplers from ZZP
ZZPerformance - LNF Replacement Silicone Couplers #ZZ-LNFSILCP
and how were they ?
Easy to install ?
I trust the 90 degree piece replaces the rubber piece that comes off the turbo ?
How is the "band clamp" that joins the rubber elbow from the turbo to the plastic piping at the top removed ?
I've heard this could be a good improvement because the stock rubber elbow could expand during high boost causing loss of velocity.
Sorry for the basic questions, but I'm new to the turbo world and couldn't find just a coupler replacement thread in the How-To section.
Thanks for any help.

Anyone know if replacing the upper rubber coupling will improve performance ? And how the stock band clamp is removed that joins the rubber coupling to the plastic charge pipe ??

Never had a problem with the stock couplers.
If you want an uograde replace the pipes and the couplers. More of a quality improvement mod then a power mod but looks nice under the hood. I wouldn't bother cutting the banding off a shirty plastic pipe to upgrade the couplers which aren't a problem. The pipe is what needs the upgrade.

Hey guys well i have my couplers since i got the intercooler package from zzp my question is they seem like they have dirt inside like they where in the same place for years and dust just collect it. What should i clean it with? Im thinking just plain water. Also im sure once im getting to installing ill figure out but for now i would like to know what coupler goes connected to what? And last question if i install the intercooler without a tune would it be fine? I know i wont see much of a benefit

When i got tuned the stock couplers kept blowing off the upper charge pipe at the ic. Got the zzp silicone couplers with new t bolt clamps and it's been fine ever since. Highly recommend these.
