A turbo duct is disclosed that includes a primary body having an inlet end, an outlet end, and an internal air passageway that communicates therebetween. An anti-crush ring is operably associated with at least one of the inlet and outlet ends. The inlet and outlet ends of the primary body are dimensioned to receive a cuff for connection of the turbo duct within an engine assembly. The anti-crush ring is situated on an outside surface of the turbo duct so as to form an intermediate anti-crush structure between the contact surfaces of the turbo duct and the cuff attached thereto. Also provided is a process for manufacturing the turbo duct.
