Intercooler Pipes Question

Featured Replies

Seen this guide to replacing the top boost pipes, is there a similar guide to replacing the bottom pipes from the intercooler to the turbo?

I have a boost leak and I am looking into replacing the oem pipework with custom pipes but I am not sure on the parts needed for the bottom section from the intercooler to the turbo. Is the first bend off the bottom of the intercooler 80 degrees or 90 degrees? plus what diameter couplers are needed on this bend? Is it the forge type A 60 / 51mm for both ends of this bend? Basically trying to create something like below.

Thanks

Can you not buy them from Forge already? Pretty sure I saw a thread a while ago which showed forge updated replacements.

I don't think they sell the elbow that comes off the bottom of the intercooler, they sell the turbo one.

Fluorosilicone Turbo Hose for Ibiza 130 Diesel and Fabia VRS

Thats why I am thinking of building my own using their hose couplers and silicon from ASH on ebay. I'm just not sure which couplers size I need and what silicon elbow to go for?

Email them, they might make you one up, they are really helpful!

Hi,

Late entry,

Just phoned emailed them for the the 90° and no luck (wouldn't split a kit, not really what I was after but they couldn't appreciate that I was just after the below parts). I bought the parts from Creation Motorsport, 2x type A bayonet couplings (60/51mm), 2x mikalor clamps, and 1 x 51mm ID silicon hose. Being dispatched tomorrow will post if the pesky squeal goes.

Cheers,

Matt

Has anyone else replaced their bottom pipe with a custom one?

 

if so are these the correct parts needed, we would all know if Matt replied like he said he would :)
