Do turbo intake pipes collapse on chipped cars?

[speedsix]

Is this likely? I know there is a video on the forge site but has anyone seen it happen?


Cheers

p.s are the TIPs on the forge site actually made by Samco??

i've only seen it happen on the video on forge's website. forge will tell you that their tip's are different to samco's and they are better......... i hope so as ive just ordered one!

yes, they've been know to collapse on several cars - just hard to proove as u need your car on a rollers to see it happen.

What would it sound like, fluctuating boost and hissy noises @peak boost?

We have seen the hoses collapse on many cars on dynos testing .

The fact that you are doing away with the nasty bottom alloy piece and the restrictive oem hose with a smooth one piece part helps no end , we have seen one set of dyno figures that showed 13 BHP increase over standard , I dont for a minute think it made quite 13 BHP but we have seen 5 BHP + consistantly and its a great " all round " addition to complement ecu upgrades , exhaust etc .

We have some good stock at the moment and the hoses are 100% not Samco , they are manufactured for Forge by www.siliconhoses.com

You can feel it...boost drops when it collapses
