Nev not sure on the THS ones but might be worth waiting to pick up a decent secondhand Forge one on the forum. They do come up from time to time and I managed to get a decent one for £60 posted from a kind member.
 
I went for the forge ones, tried and tested on here and they are also forum sponsers so if you had any issues i am sure they would sort you out. You get 10% discount too. Or you could wait and see if a 2nd hand one comes up if money is the deciding factor?
 
besides Nev picked up a nice Forge one for a decent price :)
I'd personally go with the trusted Forge one. Not heard of too many people running THS hoses on any car.
 
It looks very similar to the Forge TIP, however this is around £130; i'd be wary of the price, almost too cheap! The forge item is excellent and removes the risk of the TIP collapsing under high boost :)
 
but will this be up to the job. seems the same specs as the forge, THS and many others i have found on google. i wouldnt say its going to be the same quality as the forge one but its still a reinforced silicone hose with reinforced walls and also to withstand higher temperatures. so imo seems a good deal. it isnt going to be as soft as the original standard one but just wondered if anybody can vouch for this and give any feedback. shame i cant find it in black i want it all OEM looking.
 
also if the price of the forge TIP came down a tiny bit with a group buy "HINT HINT" i have already asked forged for a price but maybe they arnt around till the new year. i will wait....
 
the ths hoses are on ebay for 60 quid, looks a better option if your trying to keep the cost down?
 
your right, thanks for that i have emailed them now and i will get that one as they do it on black aswell. great find thankyou
 
it will be fine mate. its 4 ply standard pipe is 1 ply, count the white rings re enforcement on them to check in future
 
if your gonna go for one THS is good quality of SFS.
Forge is expensive and they always will be, they say its because of R&D and tried and tested performance figures.
 
Try forge for a GB, they are usually quite keen to do these sorts of things if there are a few member interested.

The one above will be better than standard but the forge and samco ones are the dogs bollox.
You pays your money you takkes your chance.

the Forge one is tried and tested and proved not to collapse, the one above on the other hand.......
 
wouled a tip make much diference to the power you would get from a stage 1 map would it give much more bhp/torque:shrug:
