samco tip

[jacko18]

how do you fit it, done soem searches but nothing that shows a decent pic of the bay.proving a bit of a tw*t to fit! can anyone help me out???

You using a mk4 golf TIP? old school.

I have one and the fitment isnt great at all, the end needs to be trimmed a few mm's and theres an extra port that needs to be blanked off.

Any reason why you've gone for a samco tip and not a forge one?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

So we can fit a mk4 golf TIP's on the cupra's can we?

 

[jacko18]

it was going cheap so got it.just wondering what needs to be trimmed to be honest because i dont wan to tgo hacking away then find iv cut to much off? im guessing you need to trim the bend off the one end and the one port.

 

[PhilW]

I would PM you back but it might be good for other people searching.

The connection to the turbo needs trimming by a few mm, thats all.

I have the mk4 samco tip and its a pretty bad fit so i suggest goin for the forge one.

 

[jacko18]

so you didnt have to trim the bend off? if you didnt how the hell did you get it on??

yeah probly best for anyone else who is having the same problem.

I have the mk4 tip too, i actually prefer the design so the dv sits a bit more forward, mine says forge samco sport on it though so whats the difference?

 

[jacko18]

cant get the cover back on tho with it.keep thinkin im going to smack the DV when i close the bonnet.

managed to get it on tho was a bit of a pig to fit!

Designs may look better at the DV but it's actually worse for the car, air gets blown back past the MAF and can cause stalling problems, you may want to look at something like a Jabba heat shielf which moved the MAF further away.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

fair point, does it sit the same on a mk4 golf though, what im asking is that if the maf is the same distance from the dv on a mk4 whats the difference between that setup and mine?

 

[Ryan-CupraT]

what about an audi a3 dose their tips fit?

 

[jacko18]

not sure mate, think they are completly diffrent again?

 

[Ryan-CupraT]

because iv sen some that say seat golf ect

 

[jacko18]

might fit mate have to enquire like

 

[Forbez]

There is an ibiza one you know (?)

 

[jacko18]

yeah but thats not the point lol

 

[nogutsnoglory]

i think unless its specific it might mean the s3/TT/leon tip

Excuse my ignorance but I assume by "Forge TIP" you are referring to the pipe between the air filter and turbo, as found here:

If so, can someone please clarify where the following pipe fits?

From turbo to the pipe that runs across the top of the engine.
