Great video! I thought I need to relocate my inlets for an upgrade, when I can just keep it in the oem location

Im fxn to be taking of my OEM turbos with 145k on them and install the OEM+ vargas kit with the upgraded billet compressor wheel. Figure since the car will be torn down that far that i might as well intall the silocone inlets.

will it help the longevity of the stock turbos at around 16-18psi of boost daily

Hey bro, I got a shop to try and do my inlets. They tried doing the rear one and the silicone inlet that connects to the turbo snout they said that they put it on but can wiggle it off with the force of their hands. And then he said that it shouldn't be able to wiggle off with a hand pulling. But I searched up online that the air going in from the dual cone intakes is the vaccuum side.. so unlike a charge pipe the silicone can't just blow off the turbo snout under boost. My question for you is does it the clamp have to be so tight that you can't move the silicone off the turbo snout at all? They said the turbo snout was too small to get tight fit on there. But I'm assuming as long as it's one there it's fine and won't really fall off easy. (1.75 stock turbos)
