pics dont do it justice nicer in the flesh

 

[dai cupra]

soz for all these posts lol but if the cooler was other way the pipe would stick out even more so had to be done and this is the way most people put them.

 

[sparkie1984]

looks good mate, did you buy decent clamps? because if you didnt then prepare to be popping boost pipes!

trust me i learnt from experiance (a few times) thats the only fundamental flaw with this kit, without the flared ends i cant see how it would ever hold for too long as you just clamping on a straight bit of pipe!

 

[dai cupra]

yeah i no. thats why we ruff the end ov pipes up so its not as easy to come off

 

[sparkie1984]

oh right, be interesting to see how well the pipes hold. hopefully itll be fine!

 

[dai cupra]

i kept blowing mine intill i done this and been ok since . u still got urs mate

 

[sparkie1984]

nah mines gone now, was fed up with the problems id had with it. mainly on the hard shoulder of the m1!!!!! lol!

lets hope it holds ok for him

 

[dai cupra]

he should be ok i fitted it lol i told him to get better clips too and im guna do the same as i havnt done mine yet

 

[sparkie1984]

i got some off ebay, really meaty t bolt clamps. seemed very good. id definately definately change them if i was to have another of those kits.

 

[dai cupra]

yeah them t clamps are good bit of kit i think they will be the ones to get as you dont get them problem of over tightning them

 

[sparkie1984]

yeah they were £2.50 each, so a tenner to redo the kit. trust me its well worth it if your not gonna have probs like me

 

[dai cupra]

i blew a pipe off at 120 not good i no hence why i scuffed up end off pipes . and at those speeds its scarey my misses wasnt happy but all on and away its a pain i no but what u expect for price good bit of kit for 200 quid lol

 

[sparkie1984]

yeah true true mate

mine blew off in the fast lane of the m1, the misses was asleep until she got woken by the bang and me swearing. and the car behind screeching to avoid the long pipe that runs under the engine thats just flew out from under my car at 70 mph lol

 

[dai cupra]

that was my worst nightmare so ive tied mine up lol

 

[sparkie1984]

yeah and mine!!! just so glad it missed everyone, could of been quite nasty!

before i sold mine i had it tied up too, that also easy pressure on the charge pipe join as all that pipework isnt hanging on one join (where old meets new on the charge pipe side) and that was where mine always blew off.

 

[dai cupra]

pmd you mate

 

[cupra drew]

im still using the shitty clips oops lol n mine has only blown off once straight afta i had my boost turned up to 9 on revo settings but since then its bin ok they are really tight nw tho lol my intercooler is mounted the other way than urs imo it looks beta the way ive dun it sori get sum yellow pipes on there like me make it really stand out haha
