First Line turbo charges hose range to go the distance
30 June 2025 
Banbury-based aftermarket specialist First Line says as vehicle manufacturers continue to meet stringent emissions targets, smaller, more efficient engines, have become the norm across today’s passenger car market.
To counter the natural power deficit that comes with engine downsizing, turbochargers are now a standard feature in most modern vehicles, delivering a performance boost without compromising efficiency.
But while turbochargers are brilliant at generating additional power, they operate under extreme pressure and heat, conditions that inevitably lead to wear and stress over time. And one of the most critical yet often overlooked components in this system is the turbo hose.
With the widespread adoption of turbocharged vehicles, the demand for high-performance, long-lasting turbo hoses has never been greater, First Line said.
First Line’s range now includes more than 460 part numbers. Product director Kelvin Olds said: “It’s essential to check and replace turbo hoses when fitting a new turbo to ensure the system is operating at full efficiency and longevity.”
Every First Line hose is manufactured using OE-grade materials and connectors, and each product is subjected to a stringent multi-stage testing process.
