Good job matt! It'll definitely pull better up the range

Cars looking good mate, I'm thinking of putting a front mount on mine just wondering what size pipe work did u use?

 

[Dan1720v]

I honestly didnt notice a difference when I fitted my fmic, however, I expect if I fitted during the summer, it would have been noticeable.

 

[matt88 lcr]

Pipe work is 63 mm mate recommend mrsilicon on eBay for it

It not a Hugh difference over standard set up but u do notice it tho wht stage map u got or is it standard map

Did the n249 bypass and replaced a fee hose while I was at it

The dv sounds better and car abit more responsive since the bypass

Just waitin for my 3in sfs tip to come as tht should make a big difference over stock tip tht on it

Good man, did mine ages ago and never put it back. Prefer the drive and dv sound.

Those SFS TIPs look real good, will make a nice difference especially once mapped

 

[matt88 lcr]

Already stage one amd map so should notice abit better then standard hopefully b stage to by the summer

Matt

Bay is looking good!

Good job with the hoses. The SFS TIP will make a big difference you'll feel it..

Still waiting for it from and group buy

U got yours already Tom? is it any different b5 v1 u had?

Matt

 

[t0m]

Not got mine yet Matt. Hopefully it'll be made up soon and down at AmD for me to go get..

It's a complete silicone pipe with no adapters down at the turbo nothing.

My B5 V1 is made up of the metal middle section and the outlets are all separate also. So differs in that respect and also has a turbo adapter plate.

 

[matt88 lcr]

Yea I know it's all one piece simlar to the b5 v2 tht I was planing on getin but the group buy come up and ad to grab it at tht price hopefully av it early jan and hope it makes a great improvement I'm sure it will for me being a stock one on there at moment
