OE Performance Turbocharger Hose

The Gates 29031 turbocharger hose is an OE Exact duplicate for the cold-side intercooler connection. It is built for direct replacement service on the Ford Explorer and follows the original molded shape for a precise fit.

  • OE Performance grade for factory-style replacement.
  • Molded heavy-duty construction for the intercooler hose path.
  • 2.625 in. and 2.75 in. inside diameter sizing.
  • 22 in. centerline length for accurate routing.

Fitment and Application

Compatible with 2020-2024 Ford Explorer, intercooler to engine (cold side). This Gates 29031 hose matches the original cold-side turbo intercooler hose layout used in this application. It is a direct-fit replacement for Ford Explorer turbocharger hose service where the factory hose has cracked, softened, or lost sealing integrity.

This part cross-references Ford OE number L1MZ 6F073 A for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

  • Boost leaks caused by hose deterioration.
  • Cracking or splitting in the molded hose body.
  • Oil contamination that weakens the hose material.
  • Loss of proper intercooler-to-engine airflow routing.

Installation Notes

Verify the hose routing, diameter, and centerline length before installation. Confirm the cold-side orientation and inspect adjoining connections for wear or residue that could affect sealing. Use the vehicle’s original routing path for proper alignment.

Quality Assurance

Gates identifies this hose as an OE Exact duplicate with OE Performance construction for factory-style fit and function.
