TIP > where >how?

[Foxy]

A quick search didnt help and I also had a look on the forge website with no joy.
So my question is;

Where do I get a uprated TIP(couldnt find on forge website)? Found a place, was £149.99 does this sound right?
Is it a DIY fitting? If not how mcuh have people paid?

£109.00 exc VAT
£128.08 inc VAT

and you'll get 10% off that if you buy direct & say you're from SCN

DIY fit is straight forward

Forge will give a scn discount too. It's an identical hose to the standard one just doesn't collapse and is less restrictive so should be same fitment.I'm ordering one when I get paid.

Mork aka speedy gonzales beat me to it

Sorry to hijack thread foxy here but Damo where do you put your cold air feed into? i know from the airbox but where u put it so it gets the air?? cheers

Plus to fit it yourself foxy it'll take you say 30mins at most if you've never done it before!

all right, but the link is to the K04 one - which is a bit different

There's 2 types foxy i have that one in your link but you can get an all in one that goes from the MAF down to the turbo inlet!!

 

[m0rk]

yeah - silicon ones are much better (you loose all the ribbing crap)

 

[Foxy]

Cheers guys, after a TIP, remap, dynatwist and 007 I think Ill be happy

 

[m0rk]

Yup, you will be.

then the FMIC, exhaust, downpipe..............

have a look see i know your car is X reg but i presume there isnt that much difference!!

Try and get re-map last mate and try to get an exhaust also and then get rolling road re-map!

But knowing mork he may correct me on that one!! haha

 

[m0rk]

yeah, makes no odds with those mods when you get a remap, all the same....

 

[The MoffMeister]

ah i see my bad mork, foxy i was under impression that when you got those then a re-map you'd get slightly more, but i've been corrected by seats own grease monkey haha

 

[m0rk]

ahh - the mods will aid power, but a remap won't be tailored "make the most of them" - common mistake made...

but a TIP will make the most difference out of the mods listed - really aids spool up (hence mid range torque)

30 mins to fit a tip? you must have hands from the same maker of Jeremy beadles'.

Selfishly thinking of myself mork
Didn't realise Foxy had a 20vt and not a cupra R.

Mork are there any noticeable improvements to be gained from changing any of the other hoses?

 

[WeeJase]

i'm going to time myself.seems pretty straight forward to me.

Jack up one side, unclip circlip from turbo inlet remove allen key bolt and a couple of screws, iirc

yeah 30 mins max i did it, so anyone can!!
