Is there any difference in the turbo pipe work between the two engine codes on the vrs and I'm considering replacing the ones on my blt engine. Samco list a kit for both but don't list a price for the fittings where as sfs only list for the earlier engine code

The connector on the EGR is different for a start.

The samco kit is two piece one replace the three pieces to the inter cooler from the turbo but I don't know what the other piece is for

I thought that one is to go from the turbo to the intercooler, and the other is for the intercooler to the EGR?

Ah that makes sense so definitely need the Blt version then

Only pictures that I could find of this set up is here http://www.dcperform...ses/tcs406.html

From what I can see I don't think either pipe would replace the three pieces to the inter- cooler from the turbo

If I were you I'd phone them and check before ordering

Out of curiosity whats the main reason for replacing the boost pipes, looks of better reliability ?

Got a feeling its going to start leaking soon so one piece is better than three.

Korban that's a stock image as if you change car to impreza and go to the Sacco turbo hose for that its the same image

Thought it looked a bit odd with extra outlets on it, but I was worth checking

If they are not leaking at the moment you might try this http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/272791-possible-alternatives-to-cable-ties/

Something I'm trying at the moment - If it does work well then it will be a cheap fix

Karl

I did notice that but as sad as it sounds and even though I'm getting on a bit having a Samco hose is still an itch that needs scratching in my car history

LOL so you do want it for looks

I must be older then

In all seriousness I think I would pay for the Samco option but only if I was fitting a FMIC.

You'll have to put some pics up when done

Karl

I'm betting Karl I'm slightly older it just must be the Wrexham boy racer in me fighting to get back out

Then again scratch the age thing just checked your profile

See you don't have to be young to still be a car nut LOL

:giggle:

Tell me about it I spent most of yesterday afternoon help a 55 year old mate of mine get his mgb gt ready for the ilkley jubilee historic road rally this sunday

But that's a MGB - which is expected.

Should see the cops faces when they pull a Race Blue modded VRS over and I get out and start calling them 'sonny'

That would be funny. It's only an mgb as escorts are too bloody expensive. Tbf he's got the mg quite trick now for not a lot of money
