hose for top of turbo..

[flashbsd]

Hi peeps.

I know its been covered before, but has anybody found a replacement aftermarket hose for the top of the turbo?

I blew mine off 5 times yesterday, took it off, dryed it, new clips, hitorque clips, and it still blew it off again.

I dont want to boost over 15psi now cos it just comes off !

any ideas on which high temp hose to use?

what sort of temp does that hose need to survive near the exhaust manifold?

Thanks

Speak to forge matey as they designed that one and should now be available through siliconhoses.com

Just fitted mine - as expected - fits like a glove (old one was all baggy)

cheers sirs! ive put my request in to forge is it a high temp one then?

 

[m0rk]

Yeah - flourosomething (if you look on forge's site pretending you have a Leon, they're listing it for the 210/225 engine)

I was having a poke around under the bonnet yesterday, and the inlet pipe on the turbo seems to of been replaced with a ATP racing pipe. Does any one know much about these pipes and what bennefits i have by it being fitted, ive got a picture but dont know how to post it.

different pipe to the one flashy's talking about

Your ATP one replaces the restricted aluminium cast piece shown in this pic

Yeah that looks right, so is there a pipe availble to fit my ATP pipe? I was going to buy the forge tip, but it looks like that wouldnt mate up then, as my pipe is half of the forge one!

the forge one - replaces your ATP one & the std intake (it's the blue on in the image)

As you can see - much better air flow.

Forge will be about shortly with prices and part numbers i expect
