Turbo Intake Pipe

[CupraJay]

Im looking to sort the engine bay out...Hoses ect.

Now looking at the turbo intake pipes and iv seen that you can either get Samco ones...and iv seen neuspeed cast ones. What do people recomend. The neuspeed ones look awesome. But iv heard a few people say thye samco ones flow better.

Any opinions?

forge one,seems to be the daddy on here.

the neuspeed alloy one is only half a turbo intake pipe, the samco/forge items actually do away with the metal bit plus the old rubber bit.

 

[CupraJay]

Thanks..so the forge/samco items are the ones to go for then?

 

[WeeJase]

forge no longer use samco,or do they?

 

[cordobabrendy]

no forge do their own, i was just generalising, forge have a great customer service so would try them first.

No, they now use Silicone hoses.com...and they are a pain in the ass...just waited 12 weeks for them to make hoses for my FMIC so forge can send the kit out.

Should have asked down westec earlia lol...Im fortunate enough to live down the road from westec and spend half my life there...grants a great help.

 

[cordobabrendy]

yup grant is a decent fella from my dealings with him (fmic etc)

Yea...they are good..They do it all for me now..servicing, repairs, tuning. Always welcome when u just pop in for a chat to lol. When i pick up my bits from there il ask bout the hoses.

 

[cordobabrendy]

the new bit

part of whats replaced,

in the last pic below you can just see that the new red silicon intake pipe comes right up to the maf sensor housing just so you understand that the neuspeed is only half an intake which probably will up performance a little but i went for the whole streamlined silicon version.

Seems tidy enough. Got to sort a new filter to go with my carbono system...I fancy adding a BMC CDA to my carbono pipe work. Just not a fan of normal filters. Plus iv always had a CDA and they work very well.

Have to tell you silicon hoses arent all bad , I agree we had a problem with the hoses in the one intercooler kit. but in general all deliveries are within 3 weeks which is far better tahn any other supplier in this country and things will only improve
