MST Performance BMW 1.6 N13 Silicone Intake Hose
The MST Performance silicone intake hose is a direct replacement for the standard rubber inlet hose on BMW’s 1.6 N13 turbocharged engine. It is designed to improve airflow from the air filter to the turbocharger, helping the engine breathe more freely and respond more readily when you put your foot down.
The factory hose is made from basic rubber and, over time, can become stiff, crack, or collapse slightly under boost pressure. This restricts the flow of air into the turbo. MST’s silicone replacement is more flexible, more durable, and less restrictive – meaning more air reaches the turbo with less effort.
What’s Included
- Black silicone turbo inlet hose
- CNC machined aluminium fittings
What to Expect
On a standard car, the main benefits are improved throttle response – the engine feels a little more alert and willing. On a tuned engine, where airflow demands are higher, the gains become more noticeable. This hose removes a restriction that the factory part creates, which complements any existing or future tuning work.
It is worth being clear: this is not a power upgrade on its own in the traditional sense. It supports better airflow, which allows the engine and any tune to work more efficiently. Think of it as removing a bottleneck rather than adding something entirely new.
Installation is straightforward – this is a direct replacement, so it fits in place of the original hose without modification.
Fitment note: This hose is designed for BMW models fitted with the 1.6 N13 turbocharged petrol engine, including the 116i, 118i, 120i, 316i, 318i, and 320i. Please use the vehicle lookup tool on this page or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm compatibility with your specific model and build year before purchasing.
