I've fitted mine, then removed it as I had a track day and didn't have the adaptor to reduce down from the OEM MAP pipe to the Forge one.
It bolts onto the flanged bit and the OEM MAP pipe.
You have to trim the OEM battery holder and the hold down plate too, the one with a bolt holding the battery inplace.

so you running the stand map pipe then dan?

 

[Murdered LCR]

Yes mate still running standard one but to be fair when I brought and fitted my intercooler they didn't make one

I actually have no idea what this little pipe's function is, can someone please explain? Do you need one for FMIC?

 

[Willie]

The OEM MAP pipe is a funny restricted shape and size that twists the boost as its passing through this pipe.
The MAP pipe as seen is straight and bigger bore to eliminate the above issues.
In the LC you need one as the OEM MAP sensor is in the SMIC but in the LCR its a seperate piece from the Twin SMIC's

I have the forge map sensor replacement pipe and yes you need to trim the battery tray down to make it fit, I would advise having battery relocation brackets aswell as it is very tight fit with the relocation brackets, so it probably won't fit without them

 

[JamJay]

So does the OE MAP pipe hinder cooling or performance in any way? Would there be any real benefits to replacing it? I'm all for making the car better but I don't like permanently altering things.

The less restrictions in bends etc, it's better for airflow. Also it's slightly bigger in size over the standard oem one so it must be a benefit
