what charge pipe are people using..

[cuprachrissy]

on the original charge pipe (pipe running across engine bay) there is two nipples, one 8mm and one 25mm, i called forge today to see if they could make me up some in aluminum (as you can only weld ally to ally). they are really hard to find, i rang tonnes of companies and no one does them in ally, forge are calling me back in a little bit so ill see how much etc and keep you posted.

Power steering cap is from forge its the audi s4 cap , ring them and ask for one seperatly

££££££ a lot of moneys just spray your original ones colour of your forge tip or vaccume pipes imo

Its not as close as it looks in the pics apart from down at the bottom

and the only reason the back is off the light is because the light steamed up not because of clearence

mate call any machine shop to make you some from solid aluminum pipe. Should take them 10 minutes or so.

I made my own as well, even with a small expansion on the top of the nipple so the clamp stays on.

just that there wont be a problem if you wat to slam your car, a lot of people keep original charge pipe and run that pipe under the car, where as you dont have that problem.

 

[cuprachrissy]

[Reuvers]

yeah this is the reason i want to do this also it looks good under the bonnet and should improve air flow cause its not all about looks ...

Kris do you know if you've kept your original horn with that charge pipe setup? I'm intrigued that this hsn't been done before if it avoids to need to change the washer bottle and relocate the horn/s.

Pic with the front bumper off is definitely called for
