Product Details

Gates Turbocharger Hose (Molded - Heavy-Duty) part number 29003 is engineered as an OE Exact duplicate of the cold side turbo intercooler hose. That means the hose follows the original shape and dimensions needed for a secure connection in the charge-air system, helping maintain proper airflow routing between the turbocharger and intercooler. For buyers searching for a replacement intercooler hose for turbocharged applications, Gates 29003 provides a factory-style solution with the correct molded profile and measured centerline length.

This hose line is part of Gates’ turbocharger hose offering, focused on molded replacement hoses for demanding cooling and boost-air applications. If you are replacing a worn or damaged intercooler hose on a turbocharged Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge application, matching the OE-style dimensions is important for fit and routing. Gates 29003 is built around those dimensional requirements rather than a universal trim-to-fit design.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or split intercooler hose material
• Boost-air leaks from a deteriorated cold side hose
• Improper routing caused by a misshaped replacement hose
• Fitment issues from non-OE-style hose geometry
• Loss of charge-air connection integrity in turbo systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, compare the inside diameter and centerline length to the original hose on the vehicle. Confirm the routing path, connection points, and molded shape match the OE layout before tightening clamps. For fitment-based searches, use the vehicle application details for your Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge model and verify the hose orientation against the original part.
