Turbo intake pipe

[bentaw]

what year of cupra r did they reinforce the intake pipe to stop it from collapsing

No idea but still not as good as forge TIP.... mine is an 04 and if it was reinforced I would have hated to see the one before mine!

 

[bentaw]

well i have heard that original tip flows just as well as the samco tip

 

[Brucel]

I can't see that being the case as the original is weaker and collapses more readely, also it is narrower than the Forge TIP.

Personally I noticed a difference at high boost with my TIP compared to the standard rubber thing....

when i took my original TIP off of my 04 LCR i couldn't believe just how flimsy it was. even if it does flow as much as a samco jobby (which i doubt) it would be a lot weaker at high boost. i fitted a forge TIP on my otherwise standard LCR and it seemed to make a difference, it seemed to drive a bit smoother on boost. so i shouldn't have any worries once its re-mapped.

I didn't think they ever did - it's always been fine at stock boost levels

 

[Brucel]

TIP certainly helps when moded.

Where have you read/learned this from

I wasnt aware of it being ''uprated'' on any model LCR.

Why would they when standard 10psi boost levels are fine and not enough to collapse the standard pipe

Think someone is pulling your leg

forge tip lets ur turbo spool up alot quicker and the sound is class!!!

what TIPs are people running, i'm aware of the FORGE one at £109, are there any others?

I've finished all my simple mods and am now thinking of getting REVO 1 and a TIP? Any thoughts

doesnt the lcr tip trunk down into a bottlenecked metal bend like the lc?

nope! its all rubber on the stock TIP & silicone on uprated ones. forge told me that their version is designed to flow better than samco or apr TIP's do

 

[cordobabrendy]

fair enough, ive seen first hand the bottlenecking that the stock tip has that the forge version hasn't on the lc version

I've just had a conversation with Jim at JKM, helpful guy and has more or less persuaded me to get revo in the coming months, he informed me that the stock TIP was up graded as during high speed tests the OEM one would collapse.

Not sure about flow though, I thought you had to buy mini maxi or super to sort out that problem, so the gf says!!!!!

 

[karlosR]

have a look here http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/intake.mpg it shows a stock TIP collapsing on itself.

The guys who used to work for AMD who now work at APS i think they are called now basically the old tip does not have 2 rings going round it to stop collapsing whereas the new one does apparently

I thought that was to clip a pipe on to the std one as i remember being slightly agitated finding something else to clip it to when i upgraded?
I have one in the garage somewhere off an 05 car. I'll show you mine if you show me yours lol (and if it aint too buried in junk).

Just had Revo Stage 1..well bout 2 months ago now when it was dry!! Had a Stainless Steel Air Filter fitted too which sounds different than i thought it would. Should i be looking to get an uprated TIP? Any other tips for perfomance> I have a 2004 Cupra R 225
