Q&A
- Do these intercool tubes come with new o rings?
- Yes, these kits come with all new hardware, clamps and O-rings.
- Does it come with decently detailed instructions?

- I own a 2015 eco diesel and live in Australia where we don't have cold problems at all, so I want to install and buy one hose as I only want to cool down the system not worried about the cool temperature or do I still need both of these hoses then. Will the installation of both hoses re the air intake work enough to drop the towing temperature of my oil without fitting an additional cooler radiator then? Graemedmcmillan@icloud.com
- The are going to drop the intake temps for better power and lower EGT's. I would recommend running both of them for the best airflow. Really not going to cool down the oil at all, that would require an upgrade oil cooler. DppSands
