What do you think to me new TIP

martziniuk · 17-12-2007, 23:46

Autobahn88
Bought from ebay for £55 inc postage.
Four ply construction and should serve my needs perfectly.

I just hope it fits ok

Fezboy · 17-12-2007, 23:57

I hope it's made well and not just a cheap copy?

When are you going to fit it?

martziniuk · 18-12-2007, 00:00

Er dunno iam a bit busy at mo but hopefully this week.I have heard good things about this brand from the audi forums.

Good

It should be ok then

It's half the price so it's got to be worth trying!

Angry Dog · 18-12-2007, 00:04

looks nice Mart

I should've asked for a look while I was down at yours (DOH)

martziniuk · 18-12-2007, 00:05

Maybe next time Mike or at your planned meet

I'd hope it was fitted to your car by then

Looks like I need a new lambda sensor

Right on top of Christmas

So thats a lambda sensor and road tax and 2 tyres.

BAH HUMBUG

Hi bud!

I thought it said 3 ply on the auction? Looking good though, very keen to hear the results when fitted.

Remember, they recommend a throttle body re-allignment too after fitted

RichB86 · 18-12-2007, 16:46

could you post pictures of it in situ please? also whereabout did you get it from on ebay? was it a shop?

cheers

martziniuk · 18-12-2007, 22:00

Me and a mate have just finished fitting,it took about an hour.Very tight to get into position on the turbo but all finished now.

VRSPhil · 18-12-2007, 22:08

Does it feel any different?

martziniuk · 18-12-2007, 22:11

Feels very slighly faster but not like a remap.My original did have a leak on it so that was one reason for upgrade. The other was my hesitation problem which it has helped a bit.

jason · 18-12-2007, 22:17

at last someone has had the balls to buy one.
i thought about it,then a samco one turned up cheap second hand.
if they work,and last ,they could well give other TIP manufacturers a run for their money.

martziniuk · 18-12-2007, 22:29

I got this one Audi TT Golf Beetle VW silicone induction intake pipe on eBay, also, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 25-Dec-07 22:03:27 GMT)
It also available in red or blue

ethos · 18-12-2007, 22:36

Verdict, worth getting?

martziniuk · 18-12-2007, 22:40

Erm worth it for me as helped my prob a bit but i would say not a huge increase in power.
Next few days should tell me more as i have only driven about 4 miles since change.
Turbo whistle is possibly a little louder than before.

Angry Dog · 19-12-2007, 01:59

Think im going to order one of these Mart and the Audi cannister too.

martziniuk · 19-12-2007, 06:31

Mike do you know what car the larger audi cannister is from?

ethos · 19-12-2007, 09:44

Hmm, still not sure if I should invest in one of these yet.

What did your insurers say and did you have to mod it at all? There looks like an extra pipe!

I've just had to change the pre lambda sensor on my vRS. Cost me £80 odd quid for the part from Eurocarparts

No, but I am going to speak to a friend who should have access to all that

I did not have to modify the TIP at all everything went back in the same places just a tiny bit out of place but still connected well.I used a stainless steel jubilee clip on the turbo end as they get hot and cold all the time and may rot easier and i didnt fancy being on my back on a cold floor again.

ethos · 19-12-2007, 21:37

Thanks mate, looks good.

Think i'll put in a best offer of £20 and see what he says

martziniuk · 19-12-2007, 21:46

Holy cow it will defo be a bargain if you get it for that!
And i thought i was a cheeky sod

ethos · 20-12-2007, 10:40

Worth a try, he denied it! Sent a message asking what the lowest he'd accept was.

I'm tempted to give it a go...

Has you noticed MUCH difference in throttle response or lower spool up time? I'm guessing you've had a change to drive it a bit more now.
