No it is the pipe that connects the turbo to the intercooler(sidemount or front mount)

Just think... where would the cold air be? The pipe you're talking about is just the intake pipe. Hotpipe = after compressor. Coldpipe = after IC.

That's how I think of it anyways.

Wow... im sorry! I dont know what i was thinking. haha sorry for the misleading info. The cold pipe comes from the intercooler and leads into the throttle body.
