Can-Am X3 upgrades are endless, but making sure your power plant is operating at peak performance is always crucial to having a great time! The large hose that connects from your intercooler to your throttle body is the Can-Am Maverick X3 charge tube also known as a boost tube. There are several reasons why upgrading this tube is important. The factory tube is rubber and when under pressure, this tube can expand. Expansion of this tube can alter the pressure and efficiency. When you are increasing boost pressure, it is common for the factory rubber boost tube to pop off leaving you dead in the dirt until you can reconnect the hose. This is the same principles that we have applied for years in high performance turbocharged vehicles.
The silicone tube is 5mm thick or 4ply making it extremely strong compared to the OEM tube. This newly designed boost tube is pressure tested to 85psi meaning it will never fail you for stock or extreme boosted vehicles. To ensure a very secure system, we supply these boost tubes with high end T-bar clamps. The upgraded boost tube is designed to work with stock or aftermarket intercoolers. One main advantage of this tube is we have added a blow off valve port. The blow off valve port allows you to add a blow off valve to the turbo system which helps alleviate boost pressure from the system when you get on and off the throttle. Any 1 inch flange blow off valve can work such as our own Agency Power vent to atmosphere kit. Agency Power Boost Tubes come in Black Silicone with the Agency Power Logo. This boost tube is designed specifically for the Can-Am X3 Turbo RR.
Adding a Blow Off Valve to the Can-Am Maverick turbo system is important to keep the performance up, while maintaining turbo life. With an ECU tune and higher boost levels, the Can-Am can gain 10-15% more power over stock. However unlike other turbocharged vehicles, there is no blow off valve or diverter valve on the turbo system. The purpose of a BOV is not just to sound cool, but it is designed to release the pressure that is built up in the charge side of the system. With nowhere to go, the pressure can cause turbulence to the impeller slowing the spool of the turbo down and causing premature wear. By installing a blow off valve, you can improve boost response, prolong the life of the turbo, and of course, get that cool swoosh sound!
