TIP all fitted and shiny looking!!

thats what i thought as well jason hence going for the metal tip but its on the inlet bit of the turbo which doesnt get as hot as the exhaust if i remember what hayden said rightly but ill prob be corrected!! again!!
it fits straight onto it with a jubilee clip, which also worried me as the metal tip has a slot for the OE pipe with a clip to hold it in place!!

 

[J@mes]

now is it me or has anyone else thought.silicone hose onto fecking hot turbo is not a good idea.does the samco fit directly onto the turbo?how come it don't go all melty?

yep straight onto the inlet of the turbo!


samco/sfs are a very reputable company (hence why forge will only use their hoses in their kits... intercollers etc)

also jason, the standard k04 TIP is just rubber... so if SEAT/VW/audi think its ok im sure an uprated much stronger bit of rubber will be fine!

the intake side is cold as its sucking cold air in, then theres a few inches of metal and bits before you get to the hotter side.

small rachet all the way dont want the TIP popping off!

 

[cordobabrendy]

james it wont pop off as its virtually being sucked onto the turbo. needs to be tight all the same.

agreed but i did mine as tight as the high torque clamp would safely go!

i know a few peeps who have had theres pop off! (whether this was down to crap jubilee clamps or simply being too loose i dont know!)
