turbo inlet pipe ?

[deano82]

Been looking up what a tip is and cant decipher whether its a performance upgrade or just an upgrade incase the standard one might collapse.
I've got a stage 1 remapped lcr so is is the original likely to collapse/fail if it does can this be damaging ??
If i was to get say a forge or ths tip would i notice any performance gains ??

cheers guys

Yes mate mine actually split, so changing it is very wise.

My standard OEM TIP split in less than 16k running a standard map
I suffered limp mode everyday for about a month until pinpointed and fixed, sometimes wonder if this may have done long term damage

Yep get the TIP replaced especially if you have a remap as Ronin & Nibbles have said they are prone to giving up the ghost.

As for which one...... up to you ultimately THS one is £40 cheaper than Forge although some may say Forge is better quality...??

Been running a THS one on my LCR for over a year now and no probs with it.

 

[james walker]

ths is arguably as good quality as the forge and their customer service is second to none....

as said 40quid cheaper aswell.

benefits are highler flowing tip, less restrictive and better quality than oem for mapped applications.

youll notice you hear the spool up more due to higher volumes of air being flowed.

maybe a silly question but is this a part you should tell the insurance company you have changed?

 

[Hobbiniho]

yes you should inform your insurance company of anything aftermarker/non standard that you fit to your car, especially performance mods such as this

I put a THS on my LCR a few moths ago and i think you can tell the difference right away so worth doing for the money

mine split taking it off,got a forge one now much better

 

[james walker]

much better than what, oem or ths?

Anyone know how sfs tips compare ??

 

[james walker]

think sfs are a little dodgy mate.

isnt there a thread on here about the pancake pipe splitting they supply

 

[G2232]

SFS are fine they are the company that supply forge im sure

eitherway i've had an sfs on for 3 years now without a single problem
