are there any improvements with one of these?

Whats the difference between a forge and standard

Usually a larger pipe with a smoother entry for the air.

Im looking into getting one,they look a bit fiddly to fit though

Would there be any bhp gain on a standard rs,will it help when i eventually get a remap?

I think little gain if any. I never noticed any really except slightly louder spool up. The oe pipe gets narrow near where it enters the turbo, the silicone one has a nice wide opening.

Sounds ok i still might get one

if you get one cheap then go for it but i wouldn't buy on at full price seeing as your looking at something like £150

Get an autobahn88 off ebay like mine.

There was one i was looking at on ebay but the seller has taken it off for some reason

I think he was a member on brisky,he said hes just bought an Evo6

I have one of them for my K04. Pretty good quality for the price (I got my second hand but unused)

Here is my thread if you do decide to get the Autobahn88 jobbie, pictures too

thanx,will have a read thru:)

I think it's worth doing.

They're a bit of a pig to fit at the turbo end.

I got the Autobhan one mate and was well impressed .. great sound ..quicker spool up .. it feels like it breathes easier

I have a forge TIP as well as forge silicone intake hoses. The whole lot has given me a decent torque increase, almost 20ftlb. The TIP was a bit tricky to fit, but only because I find it difficult to get my stupid big hands into small spaces!

God i started this thread ages ago lol

Iv got a Forge tip,but its still in a box under the bed!

I wil get it fitted one day

I have a Forge TIP on the 20V Turbo and it is a bit of a pain to fit, there is only a very narrow lip for the pipe to fit on at the bottom end next to the turbo.

After I fitted it the car seemed to a have more power.

When is a TIP not a TIP?!

Surely you guys are all talking about a TIH (Turbo intake hose).

In my mind the only true TIP replacement I've ever seen is the Neuspeed TIP: http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=31|G4&type=11&ltype=ns_euro&p_id=1794

At £166 it's a bit steep, but it's the real deal, and a direct swap for the standard pipe. It's on my wish list...

ABD Racing also do one, which also does away with the constriction at the bend at the bottom.

I had one on my old Octy vRS and they do make the turbo spool up quicker.

Or how about some pretty "Awesome" ones?

i had one, didn't seem to make any difference.

I didn't think mine did either apart from slightly more spool up noise.

slightly more noise when i fitted my one, but it looks much nicer now being that its a shiny blue hose rather than a dirty old black pipe
