View Full Version : tdi turbo hose
does anyone know if there is a pipe produced anywhere for the one that goes under the car and into the back of the turbo? or has anybody successfully made one, as mine is leaking and would rather replace with a silicone pipe.

you can try ask forge to make one! i am assuming it is the 90 degree one that connects to the turbo going towards the lower pipe on the intercooler!
i will need to replace mine too as it has been rubbing on the drive shaft - pls let me kno if you find anything!

thats daylight robbery! i am definately not paying that for one! any ideas of forge do one?
think im just gonna get some silicone pipes and aluminium couplers and make my own, right up to were the forge fmic kit ends. so no more crappy pipes. id say i could do all of it for less than the 110 for a single pipe!
Is it the small one in this pic?

If so I've the kit in red, might sell if the offers right.
yeah thats the one thats leaking , the one that joins to turbo. i want to replace them all, from the turbo to below where the smic was( where forge kit stops) as the rest of my pipes are silicone now.,whered you get it?

£260ish. Unfortunately it wont fit over my EGR bypass pipe!!
Think you got me wrong mate, am talkin about the other end of the pipework under the back of the engine! ive got silicone pipes from my egr bypass to forge intercooler, then silicone to under engine where it joins to standard pipework into bottom of turbo,( these standard pipes are the ones i want to change, there the weak link it seems).
for joining to the egr bypass you can use the standard 90 bend, and cut the metal slieve off the end carefully with a grinder, then stretch it over and use a jubilee clip to fasten it. thread on it somewhere.

I've the standard one on but it's my big silcone one i can't get on as it's too loose over the EGR bypass.
get a smaller diameter pipe, you using that sfs pipe kit?
Na, SFS kit has sat doing nothing for the past 6 months after OBD told me the big one wouldn't fit. :(
still using standard pipework? good power figures, that on pd 150 tubby?
Aye, cars to go up again and get clutch and brakes done so going to see if they can mod the EGR pipe to make the SFS hoses fit.
what clutch you goin for? where abouts is obd? mines on its way out too, think im gona go for a six paddle clutch.
Got the Sach one on the group buy over on VAGOC.co.uk £422.21 delivered. It's still on to the end of the month if you want one too. OBDs in Ballymena hai.
whats it rated to? cg motorsport do one for just over 300 rated to 380ft lb, post was on here bout it. probably go for it.
thats alot, sachs organic?
