great job thats what i have as well. i had looked at getting the silicone one but the maf is a deferent size and so it the fitment on to the turbo. what i did was buy a TIP for a 150. far less restrictive. there is a reducer on the end and this will fit on the the turbo fine. to make it fit on to the maf i got a silicone reducer 76-70mm. it sits inside the tip pipe and over the maf. got it from demon motorsport on ebay. gonna get it fitted in the next month or two. what are you looking to do with the car?

Not really sure at the moment to be honest with you! Its my first decent car and I've not done much diy work before so am a bit nervous about messing with engines love the car at the moment but always feels like it could give more especially on hills and at top end.

Don't suppose you have a link to the one you bought by any chance do you?

many miles do you have on her? mine has plenty going up the hills. just gotta keep you gears right. and there is plenty of pull. in around 2k is the best of a good bit of pull. your not really messing around with the engine. just giving it better air flow. im changing the pancake pipe, intercooler and intake manifold, along with some solid pipe work. take a look at brad1 build thread. his was a 110 and he had his out at 165 bhp in the end. but plenty of mods. good remap will see 135 and 145 if you want to put the boat out but that all depends on how many miles you have and how well she has been serviced

Shes reading 150k but had a new engine around the 100k mark problem is i dont think she was loved too much by the previous have done loads of cosmetic bits to her so doesnt bode well under the hood but i love her already and want to give her a new lease of life.

well these yokes are know to go on forever. the engine will out run the body. know of guys with 350k and drive them every day.

i got this : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3704140689...#ht_2001wt_870

two 90-70mm jublie clips
one 80-60mm jubile clip

and then a pd 150 TIP. i got mine for £13.

there is a vendor on the tdi club called ryan and he does the 150 tips but scrapy might b cheaper and a rattle can
