TIP's

[Patrickw]

I am once again confused, so here comes a real amateur question.

why do forge do this pipe

and Neuspeed do this pipe
http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/product.php?xProd=3705&xSec=327

Are they the same thing? If so which is better? Or does the hose attach to the neuspeed pipe?

Noob questions again huh!

 

[DPJ]

The Neuspeed metal pipe was a modest improvement over the original design. (They still use the OEM upper rubber piping)

Forge type 'complete' Tips are a vast improvement.

I don't think anyone would sensibly bother using the Neuspeed one these days

 

[cordobabrendy]

the neuspeed item is only half a tip and even then its metal, the forge one replaces the entire stock tip, go for it mate.

 

[gavthelad]

definately go for the forge one if you getting one!!!! 100% better than the original and looks a whole world better than the neuspeed/original piping!!

Cheers guys, now to further confuse me there is also this
http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=1304SILH&product=FMIBTH251

which is a turbo hose to fot directly to the turbo.

Confused once again.

that connects to the turbos OUTLET

acid.....can you explain on this one mate?? from my experience with turbos, the only "outlet" is the downpipe/exhaust manifold??

 

[cordobabrendy]

the turbo has two apertures, one sucks the air in, the other blows it out. tip goes on the intake side and that goes on the other. the exhausted air that spins the turbo stays in one side and heads out to exhaust manifold as it turns the turbine, it never mixes with the cooler charge air.

ok in theory yes, in one end out the other

basically im referring to the part of the turbo which connects to the intercooler pipework

 

[AaronGS]

Whats this one (http://www.goapr.co.uk/hoses.html) like? Similar to forge?

 

[cordobabrendy]

be careful with the apr one, they list the ibiza and leon together, from what I remember that one needs slightly modding to fit the ibiza etc. forge customer support is excellent and will give you a 10% discount if you mention cupranet.

cool, i got it mate.....i just couldnt picture it coming off the turbo......

 

[acidstrato]

no problem mate

 

[AaronGS]

cheers on advice for APR one. had been considering it and wondering why people are never mentioning using them.

i know how they work.......unfortunately with past experiences on previous cars ive changed a few turbos, just couldnt picture the layout of the smaller hose.

 

[cordobabrendy]

A bit of revision never hurt anyone!

 

[Patrickw]

I was also considering the APR one, but now I will go for the Forge.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

so the stock TIP is 2 bits by the sound of it?

yeah.....metal hose at the bottom which attaches to the turbo and rubber hose that connects to the metal part with a stupid clip.
