Just been looking thru my ebay history over the last 3 year and found the place I got my TIP from for £45

Cost bout £35 - £40 post but for £85 or less I was over the moon

Its gone up a bit but still cheaper than the Neuspeed version.

Just thought you might like to know.

do you think that TIP has made any difference in performance? i bet it was a bi*ch to fit

Very very good price Billy,

Nothing can be as bad as trying to fit a silicone one lol. To be perfectly honest, initially the day I fitted my Forge one and took it for a spirited run the turbo did seem to spool

up quicker, and the engine seemed to pull a bit more lively, or maybe it was just wishful thinking I hope not .

Now as im used to it just feels same as before.

However I still do believe anything that improves airflow on the intake side cant be bad ie: nice swept curves / larger bore / smooth walls etc.

There are many posts on this topic and I think its up to the individual to decide.

Needs a back-back test for me to part with my cash

Yup damn good price.

Yes I noticed the diff straight away! Its tight in there due to gear linkage but easier to do than the silicone ones as there is only one pipe to swap out.

Well worth the money. And its metal.

The turbo spools up nicer and with the map I have it made it drive and accel much smoother.
