[Skorchio]

How are is it to take of the inlet manifold?? Might polish the standard on up.. and get a polished pipe!!

 

[Skorchio]

Might want to pressure MIJ Performance:

I don't know if they're actually for sale, but it's been "in development" for some time

How abtou Ringing MIJ for a GB on these.. Or has anyone tryed to polish the standard one?? Does it come up well??

I wana do this and the inlet manifold!!!

 

[nick-barnes07]

has anyone received theres yet , to anyone that has ordered one from gtperformance

 

[nick-barnes07]

i haven't decided on the big turbo yet - it's not something i was planning.

plus, it's €2800 tempting, though... and they'd arrange a magazine feature

good idea on the GB, though. i'll wait and see what my charge pipe is like first, though

they offered me that as well , only dought is if the turbo is good enought , and bits wont break

the only problem with polishing the standard pipe over buying one from MIJ is that the standard pipe has a silencer built into it. i'd imagine that the replacement will be less restrictive and allow the turbo to spool up quicker and it should sound nice too!

This is something I'm still keeping an eye on, seriously tempted but want to hear what others think first of all

I never new that! Do you think the silencer could be removed from the standard pipe? Will it be a pipe within the pipe just full off holes?

 

[smoothuk]

as my understanding of this goes, to remove the baffles inside is A LOT of work, and is a pain in the arse, and requires some re-welding. Would be just as easy to buy a new one.

 

[kez]

yeah, i understood the GTP one to be less restrictive.

will find out when it arrives.

 

[nick-barnes07]

the power pipe does not even fit my car , i have received it today , it has no outlet for the dumpvalve pipe , and no outlet for the pipe that is next to the re circ valve , complete waste of money

 

[nick-barnes07]

what a complete bunch of rip offs , here is the pipe they sent me

, just a bent piece of pipe , i could of done that myself

 

[PhilW]

Dear god, thats shocking!

It doesnt even look that polished.

 

[HarveyGTI]

pmsl, that is just horrendous!!

did they try to polish it with a scouring pad?

 

[nick-barnes07]

it looks worse close up , you can see the scratches where it has been done on a machine , and the worse bit is it doesnt fit , i rang them , but they said they could not understand me , they understood me before when i ordered it

 

[lofer]

Looking at the original pictures it looks like they’ve forgotten to weld part of it on. Could they have sent you the wrong part? Did you order the manifold too?

 

[nick-barnes07]

look at the one in there picture on page 1 , and look at mine , are they taking the piiisss , never ordered no manifold , it isnt even flaired out to go over the intake bit on the engine

[nick-barnes07]
