it looks good scott, i like it :) my toys are still boxed up on the floor :cry:

Get them whopped on!

looking awesome mate

Cheers Scott, glad you like!

You should give it a go mate, it's quite straightforward! All the connections on the top are just jubilee clips. The turbo connection has one bolt holding it to the turbo on the standard tip, then it just pulls off. You'll need a jubilee clip to fit the Forge one.

Just take the airbox/cone filter out for easy access :) Pretty much all the attachments are different sizes so you can't really get it wrong putting them in the Forge TIP. The only two that are the same are the 2 small ones, and they're on opposite sides so you shouldnt have a problem really :D

Might have a bash this weekend. Just not sure how's best to attack it haha gonna get all new stainless clips for every bit on the tip as I hate them spring ones with a passion! Can get them mega cheap/free from work. The only problem I'm worrying about is getting the standard one off the turbo and te new one back on, looks difficult! The rest looks okay.

What's the connection right next to where it bolts onto the turbo aswell? Do I need another clip for that too? Guessing a hose just pushes onto it?

The original tip is metal at the bottom and rather than being clipped on its bolted on i cant remember the size but the Forge tip only needs a jubilee clip at the bottom end :)

Give it a bash mate its no that hard just a bit awkward!

The small one with the metal bit on the Forge TIP, you're right, it's just a hose that slides on. You'll just need a small jubilee clip for that too :D

Ahrite my bad lol they just clip in if i remember correctly!

I'll have to have a look see haha hopefully will go smooth!

Will be easy peasy to put on Scott, just take your time with it :)

Dunno how you have come to that conclusion but should find out soon enough.

Nice mate.

Cheers mate

Goddamn that's gonna be a bloody awkward hose I can tell! Gonna have a bash at it tomorrow afternoon after work. Girlfriends house has a massive garage and a good jack etc gonna get it in there and see if she will muck in abit haha hopefully I'll be able to manage from the top of the engine.

Airfilter and strut brace taken off, will that free up enough room or is it fine with a brace on?

Prob fine with the brace on, but it's so little effort to remove it that you might as well do it for a few extra mm room :)

Yeh only 4 bolts eh! Any pointers in particular? How's best to tackle them? Take everything off that sits in the standard one, then take the standard rubber part off the metal part, hose off the metal part, metal part off, then fit the forge one clip the bottom and that hose onto the metal connector and stick everything back on up top? That's how it works out in my head lol

I just undid all the connections for the whole standard TIP, then removed it direct from the turbo. Then fit the Forge one, and fit connections. Once you've done it once, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about lol ;)

No trimming on mine, only JBS saw fit to do that and it ruined it :ban: Mine does rest on a hard coolant pipe, but theres not much in it, and I dont want to risk the turbo connection for the sake of trimming it.

gf has paid for me to go to the cinema lately seen as I'm a poor student lol. As soon as the student loan comes in I'll have to treat her.:rolleyes:

Getting along nicely scott heard anything about the rest of ur bits and bobs? The white ones still been looked after , just ordered 20mm spacers :)

Just waiting for Andy at awesome to get back to me about the exhaust then that's all the bits sorted. Then it will just need fitting and then it can be mapped :D

Haha my gf is the poor student sadly :( sounds like you have got it nice and cushty! She's just spent 200 odd on me for my bday though which is nice of her, she refused to buy me anything for the car though so I'm curious what she's actually got me!

Ahhh is that why some people trim it, so it doesn't foul on a coolant pipe? Hopefully mine should be okay, don't wantto start having to trim it. Have you had more than one tip then now? Was going to ask why you have taken yours off so many times!

Well my arms are shredded, bruised and battered but I got the forge tip on! I had to trim about 10mm off and it still touches the coolant pipe but got it in fine. Got the clip tightened 2nd go and driven a good 12 miles or so and seems fine now. Feels like it spools faster and louder and seem to get more of a boost kick around 2500rpm.

All new stainless clips from work:

All back together:

Took me 90 mins so didn't do too bad! Once I'd finished finally had a happy gf again lol:

Tea on the table too!

Only the exhaust to go now and it's ready for mapping :D

Did it all from the top and found it fine. I got scared trimming it down as I've read a few people have ruined theirs so didn't dare do any more haha hope it will be fine with it touching!
