pipe

hi guys wat the score with a dect dwn pipe because ive heard alot of people saying tht it not a good idea because it puts strain on the engine. and some people saying it a good mod which gives quite an improvement. any more opinions and reasons for and against?? thanks

i asume that this is not just the problem with mine, as its loves fecking popping on the pipe at the back, but i just orderd a forge one so hopefully that shouldnt.. does anyone else have this problem?

Hi guys, Found this on Forge's site today; http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=190204&product=FMEGRRPS Will this give me anything besides being able to fit a boost guage? Easy to fit? Cheers in advance, Ben

I have a Leon FR PD150, that is now blowing a fair chunk of black smoke if yo attempt to load the engine up. Fairly sure Turbo is spinning up, so that's good!! I have a damaged pipe, that i believe is the Intercooler - Turbo pipe, it's a black plastic moulded pipe, that comes from the bottom...

I took my engine cover off and the other small engine cover to see if i could find any loose wires for my temp gauge.Ive found a split pipe........I cant take it off to show a photo as one end has one of them clips you cant take off.Anyway the pipe has loads of oil crud inside it so im thinking...

Iv been quoted today to have my Tip fitted on my cupra r for 215 pounds, which i think is way to steep. The Tip itself is a forge one. Does anyone know of anywhere in the bournmouth area who could fit it, many thanks

Evening all I've managed to get a metal pancake pipe from a seat leon cupra 1.8t 180bhp model. Looking at pics on the Internet of it, it did look very restrictive, but now seeing it in person, it is actually like twice the size of my plastic pancake pipe. Now what do I need to do to fit this...

In the process of changing all the pipework for silicon stuff at the moment and decided to do this today. Already done the other pipe to the N75 in 8mm at the other looked to be the same. After spending a while swearing due to ripping my hands to bits trying to get past my DV relocation piping i...

Recently discovered that the breather pipe coming from the right hand side of the engine (crankcase breather pipe) has a split in it. I managed to get hold of a replacement, went to fit it today and discovered the the pipe that goes down into is split as well. I'm not sure what this pipe is...

I was wondering if I should be as worried as I am really... Basicly my intercooler pipe popped off this morning, and cut a nice hole in it, by rubbing on the serpintine aux belt. (I think it's the water pump, the first one you see looking down?) Apart from the obvious lack of power, and a...

When i had my custom exhaust built it was too loud, so i had a reducer pipe fitted into the tailpipe which causes some back pressure and makes it quieter. Would this affectthe performance at all? cheers

Hi all, I have had a search on here and a flick through Google but I can't find much info about this. I know that fitting a downpipe on to the K04 seems to give good improvements by letting the turbo spool quicker if IIRC and has the added bonus of making it sound louder, but what can be had by...

Any help or advice please... Ok about a month ago my oil light came on solid red not flashing red. So checked the oil level this was fine but there was a fair bit of oil between the engine and radiator, got the car home and got out the tools.... when I removed the plastic engine cover I found...

just fitted my boost gauge and wondering where have you run your pipe work to stop it getting so hot? i'v taken my feed from the top of the dv and struggling to keep it away from everything. also the pipe supplied is really weak and collapese around 15 psi, any reccomendation on replacement...

I was driving the leon quite hard yesterday, when all of a sudden there was a loud bang and the car started donkey hopping and spluttering. I shat my pants and thought the engine was wrecked, but I looked under the bonnet and the intake pipe had come off the throttle body end of the air intake...
