Abstract

See full text

An intake flow device and system for coupling a turbocharger's compressor intake to an air intake is disclosed. The flow device may be cylindrically shaped, flexible, and configured to fit on an intake flange of the compressor. An intake conduit may be fitted around the flow device, such that the intake conduit may retain a large diameter for increased air flow, rather than necking down to mate with the intake flange. The flow device may incorporate compression ribs around its outer circumference for positively mating with the air intake conduit and may incorporate a recess within its interior for securely mating to a lip on the intake flange. The flow device may also be graduated to direct air from the intake conduit to a smaller diameter compressor intake. Guide vanes may also be provided within the flow device to control and direct air to the inlet of the turbocharger.
