TIP options?

[mikecupra]

Im thinking of buying a TIP for my 02 Leon Cupra,i was just wondering peoples opinion on which one is best to go for,and wether it is a worthwile mod.The car has been remapped by Jabba,so isnt standard.
Ive been looking at the Forge TIP,but wanted to know what others are on the market and wether any are better than others?

forge seems to be the most popular.not sure samco still do one.there are other available (apr etc).i will be getting myself a forge one as soon as i have sorted the niggling little probs i have at the mo on my vrs.

I went for forge, regardless of who you use its a pain in the ass if you cant get decent access above and below the engine.
(above to get it into place and below to actually fit the end onto the turbo and tighten it.)

Useful thread...im running full stage 2 now...and the only thing i aint replaced is the TIP.

So thats my next job.

 

[mikecupra]

Is it recommended i get it up on the ramp to change it then,rather than struggling on my drive?
Is there any noticeable difference with the car after changing?

 

[cordobabrendy]

vagcom was reading better airflow plus it doesnt collapse under vacuum like the standard half rubber half metal one.

 

[mikecupra]

Probably not any noticeable differenence but all will be running better and more efficiently then.

nicer spool up for sure - you will need axle stands to get in & under

it's better & easier to fit than the metal pipes by various people

 

[mikecupra]

Lovely thanks for the advice guys.I shall probably go for a Forge one then as i was thinking of originally.
Just got to decide wether i go for the TIP or short shifter 1st....so many decisions!

Neuspeed make a metal one

 

[CupraJay]

Iv heard the forge one flows better than the metal neuspeed one..and its easier to fit.

 

[cordobabrendy]

the neuspeed metal intake only replaces the standard metal bit you then connect the standard ribbed rubber tip to it which means youre no better off

Cheers guys,i shall hopefully be ordering mine soon.

I've found mine to be reaching the red line more freely since the TIP upgrade, and the engine feels a bit, erm... how to describe this... less restricted. Not that it revs more freely, or even has any more power as such, it just feels "better".

YMMV.

I found that it runners right to the redline as the old pipe would begin to collapse at higher rev's....

Very good mod IMO.
