Forge TIP fitted

[TommyCupra]

What a , anyone else fit one and found it a nightmare?

didnt think it would have been so hard to fit. I ended up cutting about an inch off the turbo end of the pipe is this normal as it wasnt going to go in as it was.

I think it took me about 2h30m in total which i didnt think was too long considering i know very little about the mechanics etc etc.

Took the car for a spin and theres deffo an increase in power it seems to pull all the way from 2k to the redline with no real dips and the turbo noise is a little better too.

Now all i need is a sports cat and a k03s

Oh thought it would have been fairly simple then mate, i know its a tight working area so that dont make it easy an if you not machanically minded its bound to take a little longer

I had the same problem, cut about 10mm of the turbo end! Took about 40 mins with my mate working from above the car and me underneath guiding it on!I didn't have much in the way of knuckles after it!Its soo tight against the water pipes!!

yeah an extra pair of hands would have been great as i think alot of my time was spent getting under the car lol

This is goin to be my next purchase, it sounds like a right nightmare to fit tho, plus surely they should be made a little shorter (turbo end) if everyone that buys one needs to hack away at a brand new pipe

thats what i thought but there wasnt a chance or getting it in without, well for me anyways.

its a good mod and worth the money IMO

I hope it cures the kinda problem (I think) I have with my car at the moment

what probs have you got?

I got it mapped on thursday and its superb but the only gripe I have of it is that the car runs out of steam after 5k, i've been told that it will be the standard TIP thats causing the problem

there not that hard to fit, i fitted a TIP and the nomex boost hose between the turbo outlet and the metal boost pipe, in less than 2hours with no major issues.

A flexi jubliee clip driver is your friend with this kind of job!!!
