This should be on the FAQ Section, which incidentally, I think should be a mandatory read for new members before they are allowed to post.

Even more OT and hijacking.

Put the FAQ in the mandatory "Forum Rules"-part before one is allowed to register.

As said, Turbo Intake Pipe or Turbo Inlet Pipe. Also Intake Air Hose or Induction Hose.

One essential mod, replace the stock parts (one metal piece on the turbo and one rubber hose on the MAF) with a Forge part. Yeah, Forge's the best!

does it actually do anything to the car that the standard item cant???

Im a cupra newbie as well and I did do some searches and found what it is. also found a good review on the net for a bloke who showed it gave about 10% better airflow. I notice a lot of people have got one.... so i assume its a good mod to do?

does anyone have a pic of what end it is and how much trimming is required???

I've a Leon. Tight fit, yes, but no trimming was needed. (Other than probably a bit on myself, another story.)
