Changing to the front mount can be done easily but costs quite a few £££'s. You're looking at easily over £500. £100 for just the pipe seems very steep, is it the pipe coming from the top of the intercooler?

Yeah your right it would be expensive and yes the loose pipe is the one which goes out from top of the intercooler. For now I’ve got some cable tiser but it feels like i am still losing some pressure.

Just looked at my invoice from seat,

P/N: 6Q0145834D £25.37

You might want to double check the part number just to make sure it's the right hose. If your local seat are quoting ridiculous amounts then maybe try Ted Johnson on here

Think your £100 is for more than you actually need.

My stealer quoted 3 different prices for parts for a cam belt replacement and still got it wrong each time.

If your wanting aftermarket boost pipes give spitfireperformance.co.uk a shout.

They produce a few options and will no doubt be able to help you out with what you need.

Got there pipes on my car and had no issues with 1.8bar peak boost.

To be fair i felt a loss of power after a cam belt change i think that garage took the pipes off and they were never fitted as they should afterwards. So after remap it was even worse. Any ideas how much might cost me after market pipe set lets be fair it is just couple of pipes. And where is the best place to do that or where i can find full kit ready to be installed in my beeza

Have you tried a standard replacement pipe. From what i remeber you saying before on what pipe it is, will only set you back about £25. This will be fine and means you're in no rush to get the aftermarket ones.

There all the part numbers you need, the hose and the clips for either end. The prices obviously may vary a bit but will be around those figures
