Hi,
Yea they are direct replacements, i have managed to identify only 3 hoses though and also, i would want to be 100% sure of what is inside the fitted hoses before taking them off :)

Sorry mate, was really asking the question to the OP because he wasn't very specific about which silicon hoses he has bought.

I take it then you just bought a length of the precut vacuum hose?

I'm doing the same thing this weekend (if it arrives from forge) and I think (though I may be proved wrong) that there is no guide because the hoses are not matched replacements, it's just cut and use as you like.

I've spent the last couple of days examining pictures and my own engine bay to try and work out all the bits I need to replace, I don't think its too tricky if you have a decent idea about what bits you're looking at under the bonnet. I'm hoping to completely remove my N249 and vac resevoir too.

Hi,
Il be honest, i hadnt a clue where i was putting these pipes, i managed to guess a few of them, then Forge were able to supply the names/descriptions for the pipes. So i thought i would share what i have done :)

I managed to fit 3 of 5 pipes,

Upper Intercooler to Throttle Body

Divert Valve to Upper Boost Pipe & N75 to Upper Boost Pipe

Then theres the Lower Intercooler to Pancake Pipe in the wheel arch
(which i was unable to fit without taking the car appart!)

Then theres the Turbo Outlet to Upper Boost Pipe, which i have no idea!

Lol, i hope this helps, and if anyone can tell me/show me where to fit the Turbo Outlet to Upper Boost Pipe, it would be appreciated. I am guessing it needs to be on a ramp to do?

Cheers,

Anthony

I think you'll find that under the heat shield at the back of your engine mate, how you get at it I don't know.
