Boost Tube Failures?

[kittykitty_900]

I know it happened to a few g4's but has anyone seen or heard of this with the G5's?

Watching this it makes me wonder what doo has done to fix the problem if anything...

Different, stronger material now for the Gen5 OEM tube?

that’s wat I was thinking as he didn’t address the possibility of it being a different material which can’t be disregarded and that’s the first thing that came to mind. if he really wanted to be convincing he woulda done some sort of destructive test.

They both say made in China, so that's enough for me to change it out haha

2020.5 turbo, 2500 mountain miles, zero issues. 2023 turbo r 350 miles zero issues ? Maybe I have been lucky and should knock on wood ? but I don't plan on fixing a problem until I have one. ??

My understanding of the 2020.5-2022 turbos, was tuned with the higher hp tunes the charge tube could split.

2023 was supposed to be stronger… but who knows.

I put 700 ish miles on my 21 turbo stock, no issues.

My 2022 turbo has around 1100 miles stock, no issues.

My 23 turbo has around 500 stock now, no issues to date.

Ray Mason has 8300 km on his 2020.5 turbo and its never been touched...yes you can make things stronger and better always and rolling changes are always in effect, the reason why they don't mention everything is the keyboard wizzards have a field day with that. I am sure their charge tubes are awesome, but this is not a big issue. And if you feel it is, then change it out.

I may have been ambiguous. My comment and yours have the same meaning. I am stating both my sleds have run flawless and I don't buy aftermarket unless the need arises. Thank you for your participation and insight as an ambassador.

I should state, I am running completely stock sleds and love them.

there was failures fpor sure on g4 sleds both stock and especially when boost was turned up. the g5 is reinforced more but the silicone ones are better for sure.

Among the years I have seen one charge tube failure on rental 2021 freeride. My ex turbos even with stage2 had no issues so far. It can happen but isnt a common problem.

Good on Doo if they made it stronger without making it heavier. Less is more, if designed with the best materials.

Most charge tube failures were on the 20.5, stock and tuned. The factory charge tube was upgraded in 21’ I believe. Most aftermarket charge tubes are also made in china. Personally I’m leaving my G5 stock.

Same Part Number for charge tubes from 20.5 to 22. I know a few guys who have put the Bikeman tubes on and said theirs got a tad more responsive.

Still doesnt mean there cant be changes made

Guys will “feel” more responsive response when they drop 120$ on a part that they didn’t have a problem with but changed it cause forum experts told them to [emoji23]

I also have a stock sledge and it works great for me! But it all depends on the situation!

The G4 intake manifold tube failing open wasn't the "black plague" as some people make it out to be.
In 2021, I was told on the phone by a BRP tech, "that tube" can handle the flow and heat to 220hp on a minute plus pull. After 2 minutes and/or more than 220hp, then it should mount an intercooler.
He laughed to me about the "internets and the aftermarket" on the blowing up "charge tube" frenzy.

Ive got test guys running 200+hp with the stock tube.
I have my kit in a race dept sled running estimated 230hp and it uses the stock intake manifold tube, but this sled does not see long time at full throttle.

Want to see the truth? Test "them" on a flow bench and show what they actually flow.
