COBB Tuning Blog

COBB Tuning announces the immediate availability of the COBB Turbo Inlet Hose for the MazdaSpeed 3. This sleek, high temperature silicone hose replaces the clunky plastic OEM piece. The interior features a uniform lining and incorporates a true taper design, eliminating any sudden neck-down in diameter found on lesser designs. The end result is a smooth, unrestricted path from the intake to the turbo inlet, adding power and improving engine responsiveness.

The custom silicone construction of the COBB Turbo Inlet Hose rejects high engine bay temperatures and keeps the intake air closer to ambient temperature. The steel wire reinforced design eliminates the issue of hose collapse that other inlet hoses suffer under vacuum at peak demand, yet allows adequate flex between the engine and the intake.

The COBB Turbo Inlet Hose is designed to be a direct replacement of the OEM piece.  Steel sleeves are used to join the Turbo Inlet Hose to the stock intake and by-pass-valve. Installation is easy, requiring simple tools, no modifications and all hardware is included. Color choices include traditional COBB Blue and our new Stealth Black.

The COBB Turbo Inlet Hose for the MazdaSpeed 3 offers intelligent design, premium construction and high value. They are in stock and available NOW!

Flashing the ECU for increased performance is just the start of what the AccessPORT is capable of. Set the AccessPORT to Performance mode to capture 0-60MPH times, ¼ Mile times and Trap Speeds. Switch over to Live Data and choose a gauge to monitor, such as; air/fuel ratio, intake air temperature, throttle position, spark advance, wastegate duty, MAF voltage, boost and many more. Turn on the new Datalogging feature and capture data across mutiple channels while you drive for detailed analysis of your engine’s performance. Use the Troubleshooting mode to diagnose issues by reading the factory codes and resetting the system once the issues have been resolved.

The AccessPORT can be used to eliminate separation anxiety for those times you are away from your car. Protect your investment when out on the town by quickly loading the Valet map to prevent the engine from revving above 3,200 rpm. Load the Anti-Theft map when you park to make it impossible to start. And in the event the car must be returned to the stock configuration, the AccessPORT can be completely removed and the ECU restored to its factory condition.
