Need some help which do I go for a badger 5 or sfs turbo intake pipe?
Went to order it today from awesome gti but was not a 100% on which one to go for?

Badger 5 mk2 80mm TIP is a little more expensive. He does get some really good readings from it though and can add anything upto 20bhp.

SFS 3" TIP are a little cheaper and a lot of the guys here with LCR's have bought them. AmD Essex have just done a group buy on them for a bargain price but it's recently finished.

Preference really mate. If your flush with cash go for the B5 - if you can't justify the difference, go with SFS. I know SFS are only making a couple a day and there is a bit of a backlog but I can imagine Awesone have the B5 ones on the shelf ready to go.

Thanks for that the badger 5 has a Steel billet does the sfs heard it doesn't was wondering if they both fit straight on as one has billet and the other does not?

I think the mk1 badger 5 has the steel bit in the middle but the mk2 is the full on silicone pipe (same as SFS), apparently much better and avoids the possibility of any leeks as I think the mk1 is in 3 bits.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong though.

Had Badger 5 tip fitted and wow what a difference it has made.

 

[TheBigGM]

Which TIP did you get? The one in 3 bits or the 1 peice 80mm TIP? What improvements has it made?

The 3 bit one isn't available any more, it will be the 80mm Silicone

Ah it was just he said about the steel bit above.

It's all one mate I need to put it on the rollers again I made 250bhp mods were at the time 007p scorpian Decat p flow but it had engine management light on. I now have replaced the scorpian with a 3in blueflame downpipe + Decat fmic and tip going to put it back on rollers end of month see what it's doing. Next mod n249 bypass I think
