intake Turbo Hose

[BEOWULF]

Are these easy to fit and are they worth the cash

 

[RikH]

worth the cash
esp if your remapping/aready mapped

not an easy fit to the novice, but is achieveable with patience and time

I fitted my TIP myself and had never really done anything even remotely mechanical before.

It's just a matter of making sure you have the tools you need and taking your time getting all single use clips on the standard item off, which is the hardest part.

 

[karlosR]

its easy on the LCR though, i've heard its a bit more difficult on K03/K03s cars

 

[RikH]

its not easy
its tight down the back of the engine

i had mine fitted for me as i didnt fancy tackling this hose given it goes down to the turbo with not much eye-sight down there

 

[Big_daddy]

any noticable imporvements in the response time, spool up, bhp gain?

 

[BEOWULF]

that's what i was wondering

 

[Tallpaul]

It made my DV louder

 

[RikH]

i felt more grunt personally, but i fitted the whole boost hose kit and replaced all vac i could see with silicon all at the same time.

mine runs smoother picks up quicker and i get a bit more psi on the boost gauge .....result

 

[nick-barnes07]

mine took me 10 mins to fit on my lcr , 3 hours on my ibiza , and i didnt really notice nothing on the leon , noticed a bit on the ibiza

 

[Big_daddy]

how long do you think it would take me on my leon (ko3s turbo)

it comes easier when you read one of our famous "how to's"

Looks good the forge
Just a question! In the guide above! how come he's got a orange tip as standard! thought the standard have slimer style inlet!

 

[Big_daddy]

Sorry just read the guide!

The LCR TIP is very easy to fit, but the Cupra or anything KO3s based is well known to be damn tricky. Access to everything is very limited, so unless you have the ability to get right under your car safely, I'd let a garage fit it.

 

[STEVEO@CYMRU]

i agree i have access to a high lift ramp and it took about 40mins but it is tricky on the ko3 and ko3s
