Charge pipe to turbo rubber pipe

[CupraElliott]

When doing the KO3s conversion you will find your rubber pipe on top of the turbo will pop off under load, very annoying.

The reason for this is the standard rubber pipe is for the KO3 turbo, and is too big for the KO3S turbo.

Forge charge ALOT for such a small piece of pipe.

However, SFS, do a reducer pipe which is a much better fit, and silicone so has more give, thus a better fit.

I got mine from Traxs from them for £12!

So just a heads up guys, dont pay £50? From Forge. Contact SFS performance and see what they can do for you.

are the outlets on the ko3 and ko3s not the same being that theyre the same housing

 

[TommyCupra]

forge do a different hose for the k03 and s so i presume there different

 

[m0rk]

is the SFS pipe hi-temp silicon like the forge one?

or is it lower quality.... and less heat resistant.

considering that it's stuck right above the exhaust manifold & turbo... you might want to consider why they make a hi-temp pipe for this EXACT application.

 

[CupraElliott]

Well mine was alright for 250 miles of constant driving and cant see it exactly 'melting'.

i had an sfs reducer pipe connecting the charge pipe to turbo for about 20,000 miles on my ko3 no problem at all!!

 

[MIkey kc]

gutted i got forge

 

[SEATCOOBER]

i also have an sfs on now that connects from my gt28rs to charge pipe and no problems at all!!

I bought one from forge listed as a 54 - 48 reducer, its not listed on their website anymore but was on a leaflet I had, it cost me £12 and has done the job fine.

 

[ChrisCurzon]

i got 1 from sfs not hi temp one either and even next to manifold not had a problem with it

I'm running a normal Forge FMR63-51 - 63-51mm Reducing Elbow Silicone Hose on my GTRS Eliminator without issue. It's got the oe elbow heat jacket round it.

To bring up an old thread, what size is the turbo side? Don't wanna go out in the dark (scared of the dark lol )

Because noguts is saying its 48mm and DPJ is saying its 51mm. Quite a difference imo...?

 

[nogutsnoglory]

Maybe the GTRS is modelled on the original k03 size at a guess

for k03s its defo 48mm

 

[karls cupra]

what about k03 what size is that one..

 

[Reuvers]

Maybe the GTRS is modelled on the original k03 size at a guess

for k03s its defo 48mm

Is that silenced or unsilenced? Donno if that makes a difference, but I have a k03s which is silenced

 

[nogutsnoglory]

so was mine, see above pic

 

[Reuvers]

that's true. Cheers mate!
