charge pipe debaffling

[Richie-LCR]

anyone done this? i was talking to dolby about it and was just wanting any more opinions on it. what gains can be expected?

i quite like the idea of hearing the turbo more but im not sure if i can be bothered debaffling it just for that

Don't know if Phil (Feel) still makes them, but he made some lovely de-restricted charge pipes which a load of us bought back in 2005. Sold mine off, but there must be some floating about.

Is it possible to debaffle the standard charge pipe? I was going to give it a crack when I had it off the other day but couldn't for the life of me see how it was possible.

From what I heard it's a lots of hassle for not a lot of gain,
I have looked at doing this myself, you need to remove the baffles and then weld a tube inside the pipe, which is'nt easy.

skahigh, yes mate they are just standerd pipe's

Welding? Pfff I'll give it a miss then.

Probabley best to try and find one that has already been done.

That's the one I've got!

I was very pleased with mine

I took mine to an engineering company and they did it for £30

thats a good price mate, what difference did you notice? worth the £30?

i had one on my LCR when i had it and there was a noticeable difference in noise and boost seemed to come in earlier too. funnily enough i took the charge pipe off before i sold the car and i sold the charge pipe this evening........ fancy that!

Not really sure as mine is a LC and i put the LCR intercoolers on at the same time.

Is this just an LCR mod, or are these out there for the LC as well. Does this actually give an increase of performance or is it just it just a sensory thing?

i don't think there is anything in the pipework on the LC, although there looks like there might be something along those lines on the K03S turbo itself.

The baffle must slow the gasses or give them a bigger area to expand into therefore dropping the boost pressure (slightly).
Better off just getting one fabbed.
Phill would the place that you got your done be keen no making more?

 

[Phillc]

They might, but i have now moved 140 miles away

Mine was louder which was a nice bonus.

 

[Lodgey180]

mine is loud enough.. the wooshy pssttt noises are getting annoying on slow drives

 

[rikwheeler]

I'll never get bored of the wooshy sound and want more of it
Isn't there a place in Germany that makes them? Can't find the thread now

Did anyone find any suppliers in the end?
