SFS Oversized TIP

[leegreenaway]

What a pain In the arse of a job this was! I felt like I wanted to take hammer to the engine bay lol.

Things I've noted with the oversized tip if anyone is interested....

1. Vacuum line at the bottom of the OEM is half way up the oversize one and a pain to get into a nice position
2. The DV sits higher and further left than normal, I had to reverse it to get a better fit
3.N75 sits a bit higher and further back
4. Hockey Puck sits further left and back but is quite close to the DV
5. It was a little short so couldn't put my air box back on so until I get a small extender I've had to stick the induction kit on

I'd recommend getting some new pipes as well rather than cutting the OEM ones to compensate for the position changes (next job) but I'm damn happy it's done!

Also, ignore the garden pipe, it's a temp fix for a split breather until I get my catch can

And the difference ???

BIG I'd expect lol

Nice job mate, really not looking forward to it lol will do it when changing the turbo so hopefully access will be a bit easier. How much short is it from reaching the airbox? What's the 4th hole up at the top, there's do, n75, hockey puck and what's the other one? Are you meaning the dv and n75 hoses when your suggesting getting new ones?

Turbo seems to spool up quicker, I'd probably see more benefit after a stage 1 map

Took it for a cheeky blast today to see if i could pop off the jubilee clip on the turbo
Boost feels smoother through the rev rang, turbo sound a bit quieter, spools up quicker....it was worth all the pain and swearing lol

As for replacing the pipes, it'd get new ones for the DV and whatever the vaccum pipe is from the bottom of the existing turbo intake pipe. You'll probably need some for the hockey puck too, n75 seems fine.

As for that forth hole, I have a hard line tube that runs down the front of the block, not sure what it's for. It's probably vaccumm for the SAI or something.

Been meaning to get round to fitting mine for a couple of months now. Looks so much of a ball ache I just ain't done it yet..need some motivation. I have tons of mods to fit. Garage is getting full

I need an FR style bumper in magic black so I can get a decent FMIC

If you think fitting the oversize tip is a ball ache, wait till you want to replace the rear axle bushes That will get you swearing

If these TIPs are custom made then why do they not fit properly? I was going to get one of these but not if it doesn't fit the standard air box

Custom made my arse!!! Mine does fit, just. Needs to be bent forwards to get onto the MAF and the jubilee holding it onto the MAF needs to be pretty tight or it will slip off. Haven't had any problems with it so far though. Just a case of whether you are happy bending it to reach, I can't see a problem as its the very large squishy top part of it that is getting bent about and, well, it's made of silicone! See photos below, first one is how it lay naturally and second is it pulled over onto the MAF (it isn't on properly as this was only a mock up). Maybe if they are indeed "custom made" then some will be slightly different, I know some people go on about trimming them or they don't fit, I didn't trim mine.

I stretched it originally but switched back to my open cone for the moment When i get rid of the SAI Combi valve i may go back to stock with my pipercross.

See how i feel

Thanks for the info.

Go straight to Ramair on ebay who make the SFS stuff, got mine £125 delivered.

i believe its the other way around. SFS make hoses.. not Ramair.. they sell them
