Ive got a RSD intake pipe - Just want to know is it worth changing for the Forge TIP - Its one of those metal ones that goes straight on to the turbo -

To give you an idea, the metal piece from the turbo comes up and is attached to the standard rubber intake pipe - the metal pipe end is less then a foot away from the DV - I took a pic but cant upload it hence the description -

cheers

Forbez did the swap, I think he found that the RSD TIP wasnt a great deal less restrictive than the standard ones. I think he was pleased with the forge afterwards

I'll see if i can see what size allen key you need, I secured a small allen socket to a rachet socket.
