which hose?

[sick2death]

Bit of help identifying what hose i need...

Just fitted new TIP, and have noticed one of the hoses has perished as is completley... "squashy!"

Its the one that runs into the underside of the TIP, about 85mm in circumfrance.

Bit vauge sorry, but its pitch black, and snowing, and i just want to order a new one asap.

The only hoses i can see on Awesome GTI are 5mm... I'm sure thats too narrow.

Any ideas?

Does this pipe go back to the charge pipe ?

 

[sick2death]

no, it runs into some round black plstic thing, which i have no idea what it is

not the dv as i have a forge fitted.

Breather pipe going to plastic round thingy on top of TIP ?

I know it's dark but can you get a picture ?

 

[sick2death]

right, heres a couple of pictures explaining the hose I mean. You can see its gone that soft, where it bends from the TIP its almost completley closed off, hence boost is all over the place:

not sure to be honest. its always been like that since iv had the car. in the past i had some boost issues but not sure if this was part of the cause.

 

[sambryant]

i wonder if any 1 else could fill us in on this????

 

[sick2death]

it needs replacing, but I have no idea what hose to get... dont really want to have to buy a complete kit if i can help it

 

[sambryant]

i think its just 16 mm pipe, only need a little bit.

Speek to Forge, they'll be able to sell you a lenth of pipe
