You'll notice my thoughts on them, in the same post :thumbdwn:

Bloody hell! Well i'm an unhappy customer so i'll never dael with allard again.

[Lofty86]

Jabba... Ill be interested in one.

On the condition its got the right angle, and a lip to stop the pipe blowing off.

Also, will the 90 bend point the same way as the stock pipe goes?

BIGW2069 :... Any chance i could have a gander at those designs? As i did engineering at college, worked at an engineering place for a few years, so got some good contacts. PM me, and ill send you my email address.

It'll be at the right angle, and have a swaged end to stop the pipe blowing off under high boost.

Yes we're going to do one, Cav has already shown good interest, we're hoping to have made one up by the end of next week.

[BigW]

[Jabbasport]

Thanks

[Lofty86]

they should be available toward the end of next week.

Dont hang around then??

Are you doing them with a nipple/takeoff for a boost gauge?

If not, would you be able to supply one (a bolt on take off?).

What price are you sending these out as? & p+p.

Cheers, Dave

I got my allard power pipe on friday. Took a week to come from them. i did phone and the man on the phone seemed ok. asked about them going bust and he said they just rebranded......

[WW_VRS]

I have had mixed experiences with Allard - they were ok in some ways and sh*te in others. However just restarting under a different name is a dodgy one and sure would put me off too

[Wardy]

Yes, I was of a similar opinion; exactly why are they now trading under a different name? :rubchin:

Steve

[ultra_joel88]

I am guessing that Allard Motor Company was a Limited one and was liquidated, probably due to financial problems, and this new FuelEfficientSystems has been formed.

[Wardy]

Quite possibly. There's also 'Allard Motor Company' as well I thought? That aside, it's a slightly odd name change don't you think? They moving into hybrid vehicles of a different sort??

Jabba are you any further with the egr bypass pipe?

What kinda price we looking at for this from jabbasport?

[Fat Boy Slim]

EGR bypass ?

Could try Forge as they have been developing a kit ( I belive ) and it may be ready.

[mr. hedgehog]

Suggestion, when I had my allard EGR bypass fitted the pipework that was blanked off below blew (it was kind of a ribbed metal tube which split), and started letting exhaust gass into the engine bay and then cab, not good. I had to get a mate to butcher it out and blank outlet off lower down; I seem to remember him saying he blanked it off by the turbo. Worth bearing in mind if looking at EGR issues.

[Jabbasport]

Our kit blanks the egr on the exhaust manifold. So the pipe with the ribbing on it is removed completely.

Our egr pipes are now available and can be seen in our section of the forum.

£49.99 inc 17.5% vat.

I had exactly the same issue. Plus mine blew while I was trying to travel up the M6 to Glasgow at the time - ended up getting recovered back to Manchester because of it; thought the turbo had blown

Anyway, just another example of poor Allard service - the instructions should at least have mentioned it. Mine was sorted the same way, by blanking off directly at the turbo.

saw the one on kevs fabia at the weekend looked really good!! will have to invest in one for mine fo sureee lol may pick one up when im over on thurs!!

[Sy.]

I'll have one next week with 15% VAT. See his efforts are working. He's made me spend :(

[ForgeMotorsportUK]

we have one done , EGR pipe , will be on the web site soon

[PastyBoy]

getting back to Allards - i spent the last 3 years living in a flat about Lloyd Allard; noisy bugger but did fill the car park with interesting machinery - dual fuel TT, pimped 3 series, and once there was even this mongrel looking silver fabia!!

Then this summer following completion of a TDi endurance racing Scirocco he packed his bags and vanished. Looking at all the previous posts that would seem to coincide with the liquidation/rebrand quite well.

Speaking to Brian at Jabba at the beginning of the month it would seem he has moved to Europe to compete, which would explain the 'Ring stickers all over the Scirocco.
