You will have to cut about half an inch off the end too fit a KO3s nicely. Otherwise it'll be pushed right up against a coolant line.

Thanks DAZ, I know about that coolant pipe as I had some small probs when I first fitted a bigger steel TIP (bougt one from a lad in slovenia, as seen in the fitting guide) Had to loosen the bolt that holds the coolent pipe on to the engine block and it was quite fidly to reack it with the wrenck so I ended up loosing the bolt somewhere in the engine bay and I never seen it again I even looked under the car with a infra red heat camera as the bolt was still warm but couldt find it. So I know the work of fitting the TIP

i didnt cut mine though, it aint gonna move as the coolant pipe moves with the whole engine block also (so minimal rubbing can happen).

IMO if the standard TIP fitted the k03s, i would have kept it

Rather do it right first time than give the chance for something to happen and find myself doing it again, maybe at the cost of another TIP.
Just a thought
