I have APP Engine can I fit AUQ coolant and boost pipes as I heard they are the same fitment? Or where can I get coolant and boost silicone pipes from for my engine at a decent price?

I've done my stage 1 with APR and i've been told to avoid the hose collapsing i should install an aftermarket TIP ... which i plan on doing. The question is do i actually get any HP gains from installing one? Cheers

Hey everyone, used the famous last words 'going to keep standard.' 6 months down the line its time to start modding :D. I am going to go the usual route of remap but want everything to solid before i get that done. I want to get a silicone tip and a forge 007p recirc valve first. will i notice...

hi all, right i had the car fitted with a new cambelt, tensioner and waterpump yesterday, i also got them to fit a new Demon silicone TIP. I picked the car up and thought the TIP was causing me more lag and really didnt do much at all. The boost didnt seem to push you back in the seat like it...

Just a quick question Thinking of getting one of these new t.i.p Silicone hose is the bam same as the amk engines or the 225bhp same as the 210bhp or are they different pipes.:confused:

Im looking to upgrade the poor quality silicone joiners that come with the ebay cooler. Where do people buy their joiners etc from? thanks Bowen.out.

I'm about to buy a TIP and i'm thinking of buying the 5 piece turbo hose kit too, my questios are 1) apart from making the engine bay a bit better looking are there any benefits from having these pipes in silicone because the oem ones are quite thick 2) the small section of the 5 piece is...

Been looking at getting a silicone TIP for my LCR, but there seems to be a lot of company's making these from various places (China, USA, UK) I don't want to pay the extortionate price of £140 from forge. Has anyone used any of the others? Any reviews? A Few i have found USA...

Hi guys, i saw a thread a while back with the sizes of various hoses for the LCR...i now cannot find it :doh: I've recently got hold of some thick chemical tubing which has an ID of 8mm and OD of 16mm.. i've also got 6 hose clips. Can anyone point out good hoses to change with a bore size...

Just wondering if there is anywhere that does different colour silicone hoses apart from the "normal" black, blue and red?? Done a quick search but couldn't see anything

can anyone tell me where the elbow in forges 5 piece silicone boost hose kit goes? I've sussed out the other 4 and just unsure of the 90 deg elbow's location. (is it under the bonnet or inside the wing with the IC piping?) cheers guys for any help.

Hi, I’ve just ordered a silicone tip and was wondering if there is a fitting guide to help me install it. It looks like a straight forward swap but reading past threads some find it simple, and some have a bit of struggle including shredding hands, etc. Since I’ve not done this before, I...

What's the best product to use to remove dirt from them and restore to new?

Hi, i been looking around for some silicone hoses to replace the factory ones on my Ibiza Fr 1.8T, Can only find them individually, but really looking for a whole set. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I'm looking to change most of my hoses in the leon. Apart from getting the lengths correct and the diameter. Does shape really come into it? For example a breather hose has a slight bend in the pipe or is it like this to stop any rubbing? If so can anyone show me an example of engine bay of a...

What suppliers would you guys use again? I know Forge and Samco seem to be the biggest names around; and smaller companies like THS and Autobahn88 that are producing products in this area. Forge offer a lifetime warranty on all their products, which seems very like good customer service and...

Hi, Forge Silicone hoses arrived today for my Cupra. Does anyone have a fitting guide please? Cheers, Anthony

Evening chaps, I wouldnt mind getting a samco hose kit to brighton up the engine bay and make things flow better. Ive had a very quick look on ebay and have noticed that the Mk3 Golf 16v kit is about £40 cheaper than the ibiza GTi 16v kit ???? would the golf one not fit ? cheers Dan

I searched google there reading up on the best way to seal the joints of an exhaust , and read that when doing so on a stainless steel exhaust its best to use silicone sealent , rather than exhaust paste as the paste does not take to the stainless steel very well ? Anyone ever heard of this ?
