Is the Charge Pipe Kit for S550 Mustang EcoBoost cars with blue hoses the same as the black hose kit?

Yes, apart from color. HPS builds part number 17-102 with the same mandrel-bent aluminum pipes, the same 2.5 inch hot side and 2.75 inch cold side tubes, the same stainless T-bolt clamps and the same published gains as the black hose kit. Only the silicone hose color differs.

Which Mustang years does HPS list for this kit?

HPS lists the 2015, 2016 and 2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L turbo. Later EcoBoost cars are not on the HPS application list for 17-102, so owners of a 2018 or newer Mustang should confirm fitment with HPS before buying the Charge Pipe Kit for S550 cars.

What boost can the hoses and clamps handle?

HPS rates its high-temperature 4-ply reinforced silicone hoses, paired with 100 percent stainless steel T-bolt clamps, for a minimum of 50 psi of boost. The bead-rolled ends on each aluminum pipe give the hoses a lip to seat against, so they resist sliding off under pressure.

Does the kit need a tune?

No. HPS states that the kit improves throttle response and adds power without re-tuning the ECU, and that it does not trigger a check engine light. HPS measured 17.1 wheel horsepower and 16.9 lb-ft of torque on its dyno with the kit fitted.

Can the kit be used with an upgraded intercooler?

Yes, provided the intercooler uses the factory piping connections. HPS states that the kit is compatible with the factory intercooler and with aftermarket intercoolers that use the factory intercooler piping. Intercooler kits that include their own pipes would replace this kit rather than work with it.

Description

HPS Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for S550 Ford Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L (Blue Hoses)

HPS’s Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for S550 Ford Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L swaps both factory charge pipes on the 2015-2017 EcoBoost for mandrel-bent aluminum and finishes every joint in blue 4-ply reinforced silicone, a color that stands out against either black or polished pipes. Tube sizes are 2.5 inches on the hot side and 2.75 inches on the cold side. HPS credits part number 17-102 with 16.9 lb-ft of torque and 17.1 wheel horsepower on its dyno, so it suits owners who want a stronger boost path that is also visible with the hood up.

Design and Performance

Factory rubber couplers are what HPS sets out to retire here, since they tend to crack or fail over time and leak boost when they do. Stainless T-bolt clamps and bead-rolled pipe ends hold the blue hoses in place, and HPS rates the hose and clamp pairing for at least 50 psi. The aluminum runs carry fewer bends than the original pipes. Choose it for the look; mechanically it matches the black hose kit, so a buyer who prefers a quieter engine bay loses nothing by going black.

Replaces the factory hot side and cold side pipes in one kit

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
