Forge TIP Fitted - A damn tight fit

[ganda_cupra]

Fitted my Forge TIP 007p and vac hosing the other day, and oh boy is it a tight fit. Had to undo heater pipes on block and gear selector mechanism to get it on to the turbo. Took a bit to get the pipe on for charcoal filter that sits at the bottom near turbo as its close to the heater pipes and the rubber pipe is a very tight fit and had to manipulate the metal bit of the piping for it.
Happy with the results and can feel a slight difference, propbably more noticeable on a remapped car, which mine should be soon. Want to get all the basic stuff fitted first like turbo back exhaust, intercooler and dynatwist, boost gauges and propably a k03s before i get it remapped to save paying for mapping it twice.

How tight do you want it.

Good guide Jase.

You make no mention of the difficulty getting your TIP past the metal water pipe that's near the bottom of the TIP and causes everyone so much trouble.

(The bodgers way round it seems to be to shorten the TIP where it goes on the turbo. I know you got it 2nd hand....... Has that TIP been trimmed ......... )

erm, no idea,certainly looked untrimmed.mine is the old samco /forge one.it went on fine.never even knew there was a pipe there to get in the way. If it had been a bitch there ,believe me i would have put it in

So you don't think you have a 13mm dia metal pipe running from the engine backwards - about 75 mm away from the turbo compressor inlet and height-wise about 15mm above the base of the compressor inlet?

You Skoda guys have it easy............

 

[ganda_cupra]

I undid the bolt that holds the heater pipes on towards the back of the block and then cable tied it back out of the way as much as I could towards the coolant reservoir.

Did the whole job on my drive with a jack and an axle stand took about 2 1/2 hours, thought I'd been supplied the wrong one at first due to the tightness. One of the fiddliest and hence hardest was getting the little rubber pipe connected to the metal pipe for the carcoal filter onto the TIP once fitted, had to do it from underneath in the end.

Would have been alot easier on a ramp at work but I couldn't wait that long lol.

there are pipes there dave. but it must have missed them all(just)i put it in from the top ,got under the car and just reached up and pushed it onto the compressor sorry to make it sound easy,it just was

We all know why it was so easy for Jase...it's because he's only 'ickle. It wouldn't surprise me if he managed to crawl under the car without jacking it up!

c0ck off c*nty.
i did try but my belly got me stuck,my wife had to reverse the car off me

 

[DPJ]

It's easy to do it from above as long as you move the water pipe. You don't need to jack the car up. Jase, I reckon your TIP has been circumcised. (nanosurgery )

mines going on at the end of the month.........lucky my mates a mechanic and he's offered to tackle the job for me.....hehehehe, ill most probably make a couple of cups af tea and supervise.lol

DIY is much more satisfying

 

[gavthelad]

i would have a go at doing it myself as ive tackled many jobs on my own with previous cars.....but to be perfectly honest, given the choice id rather throw some cash his way as its his own business. he's not long started out so its nice to see him right as he's done me favours in the past.

He wont be your friend after it, they are fecking pains in the arse to fit!

trust me......i used to own an rs turbo.

 

[Forbez]

LoL Easy to work on, plenty of room, in there compared to theres cars!

Infact plenty of room in a cossie bay compared to these!

 

[Barry.L]

do these Tips actually make much difference on standard power? im thinking about getting one but not sure if i should just wait and get it done when i have a remap in a few months time.

 

[Forbez]

Improved airflow into the turbo, quicker spool up, sound awesome, PITA to fit!
