DV pipes

[acidstrato]

today i tried reversing my dv but the intercooler pipe was too tight so i gave up, but upon giving up i noticed its been removed and cut very poorly at the i/c end in the past and it could do with replacing its also very worn and 'pancaked'

also realised the tip connection to the dv has a split and isnt in such great shape either so new tip soon i reckon

wot i wondered though was are the i/c to dv pipes the straight ones on forges website? obviously needs to be fliexible has anyone replace alot of the black piping??

phil w has replaced alot of the standard tubing mate, i've replaced the vacuum tube wiht samco.
IIRC using a samco tip, will replace on of the sections that fits to the DV. Dunno about the other tho mate.

thats another point mate

some of the lads with new tips have samco ones but now the tip from forge is of silicone hose brand so really i want that so it will match other silicone hose bits im planning to get!

had a look at some pics earlier of someones car but they had a dv relocation kit so didnt exactly show the pipe i need


anyone else changed theirs?

I think you may need the reinforced stuff for that!!! (pricey)

Its got a reinforced wall (metal i think), stops it from kinking!

Is the Forge TIP going ahead then? I aint heard much about it recently!

The samco's should be ok IMO.

samco stop the pipes collapsing under the air pressure...

go for it

nah not the 'forge ibiza tip' the golf mk4 tip modified to fit
the old ones were samco but now they are 'silicone hoses'

a mate sent me some pics of a golf with the correct boost pipe for the dv i need so i know u can get them
yey

but will see how the car does with revo and whether the current pipes pop off lol
