Samco Turbo Tip

[Craig!]

OK, the car I've got has had a black Samco tip fitted to it (TCS1523)... Just got a few questions basically, is there any problems with fitting the Mk4 Golf tips, anything that may need to be looked at checked regularly?

How exactly do you go about installing it, is there anything that needs blocking off, etc?

Theres one extra outlet that needs to be blocked, olly20vt has some nice stainless bungs that fit the outlet perfectly. Not sure about fitting, not got round to it yet!

I fitted the tip to that car, I spaced the water pipe slightly so that the tip didnt rub. The only thing that I didnt do was connect it up at the turbo end as I heard it was hard and needed some modification to the pipe. I stuffed some newspaper over the turbo housing and carefully wrapped some duck tape over it to stop water getting in bleh:

Cheers Anth, main reason for the topic is the little pipe that's blocked off near the tip. Wondered if that was anything to do with the down side of a non-specific Ibiza tip!

These are the pictures I took earlier highlighing the blocked off pipe, and locating the origin of the pipe.

Basically here's the pipe that has been blocked off with a rivert;

The pipe can be traced back to this unit on the top of the engine, what is this unit?? Is this pipe needed or is it best discarded?

And here's a picture of the tip, I already knew that their was one excess pipe that had to be blocked off, and as you can see from the picture it's been blocked off with a boly and a small jubilee clip.

If anyone had any advice about the small pipe / unit on the top of the engine it'd be mucho appriciated!

IIRC thats the n75 valve.

That's the N249 valve mate, the pipes around it look pretty shagged....get yourself some 4mm Vacuum hose to replace em.

The one with a rivet was blocked off by jabba. The one with a bold was blocked off by me.

 

[Jonzy]

Have you got a ko3s fitted?

 

[Craig!]

As far as I know, no it's the K03. I had a feeling it may have been the N249 as i've heard of people blocking them off before. The pipework is fine it's the wrapping thats shagged (checked that myself when I saw it!), where does it normally connect to when connected?

 

[Martyn]

Trust me dude it's worth replacing those pipes!

 

[Craig!]

Righteo, will get come 4mm black piping and get it all done... Would you reconnect the N249 or leave it blocked off?

 

[Martyn]

Try it with and without mate, I find mine holds boost better without it connected

 

[Craig!]

Thank's Martyn, one thing though... without going to my engine may and looking again where does it connect to? Luckily I have Ross-Tech's VAG-COM so can do some proper analysis non of this "I think it'd better, it feels it" stuff!

 

[Martyn]

Craig, take a looky looky at this thread....

Last couple of pages have a few more details too....

 

[Jonzy]

Ive taken all my n249 stuff off, and re-plumbed the lot with 3mm silicone.

I think the rivited pipe should be t-pieced into the pipe coming from the sec air valve around to the silver canister on the side of the block, under the n75.

The 249 thing is a piece of piss, you can rebolt the valve to the back of the black and skip the diy botched resistor thing

 

[Craig!]

Cheers Martyn, after reading that I see you meant keep it bypassed from the N249 instead of just replacing my pipework! Going to go have another look at the engine bay now...

Any ideas wheres the best place to get the pipework and t-piece, local motor factors or did you have to go to the likes of Forge, Samco for it?

 

[Martyn]

Get the pipe from Forge bud, you wont need a t-piece as you can re-use one of your old ones.

 

[Undezcupra]

is the forge tip an easy to fit job?

 

[acidstrato]

not easy, i wasnt man enough to have a go, i wanted to, but after seeing shots of the lack of space down there i was put right off doing it myself

be much easier mind to do so when the turbos off..i.e if ur gonna have a go at swapping for a k03s
