So at the weekend I thought I'd fit my top boost pipe as everyone is aware the skoda ones are prone to boost leaks

For anyone that's interested I put together a list of the pipes etc needed to make your own also remember that the silicone hoses do need bits cutting off each end to fit hope this helps people that want to do the same

1x type a coupler

60mm clip side outside diameter (o.d) male coupling, suitable for a 51mm internal diameter (i.d) hose.

1x type d coupler

64mm clip side outside diameter (o.d) male coupling, suitable for a 61mm internal diameter (i.d) hose.

Both from this seller - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA-TDI-FSiT-ALLOY-BAYONET-BOOST-HOSE-INTERCOOLER-HOSE-COUPLER-/150802992992?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item231c8f0f60

2" 51mm O.D stainless steel bend - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320782541076

1x 45degree 51mm internal silicone hose. - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290470155679?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

1x 90degree reducer 60mm to 51mm silicone hose - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300858977454?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Also need jubilee clips which I bought from my local BandQ

1x70mm jubilee for egr 90degree hose

3x60mm jubilee's for the rest

Please feel free to ask any questions or anything

Hope this helps

Hi mate I think the samco is just one solid silicone hose with no joints but this is just as good in my opinion

What was the total cost Carl?

Would say about £80 all together with all postage and jubilee clips

Tbf that's great price! Well found !

Tbf that's great price! Well found !

Cheers mate much cheaper than paying daft amounts for samco but at the same time dooing the same job

How much is the samco one?

£240 ish http://www.amber-performance.co.uk/product.php?xProd=7998

£288 inc VAT, **** that haha

Haha that's what I thought aswell

Does that pipe have the beaded edges?

brilliant! if i was you i would start making these up and sell them. **** paying samco prices.

Looks great and a much cheaper option.Well found

Please feel free to ask any questions or anything

Hope this helps

I have an egr delete, so will I need a different size 90º bend? also I presume I will only need one coupler, but which one?

Cheers

Alex

Good job where Samco have made that price up from I don't know but £240ish is day light robbery.

I did this same mod to my ibiza Cupra tdi but using forge hoses to the alloy pipe that's all ready there.

I would agree with what other people have said through and make it up and sell them for X pounds if think I'd make a good profit but I'd my self use ash silcon hoses instead

Does that pipe have the beaded edges?

No mate but I haven't had any issues up to now with the pipes blowing off I'm sure you could get a one with them

Iknow mate sitting on a little fortune maybes haha

And Alex you would only need the small coupler type D to go into the intercooler also the 90 degree reducer would have to be whatever size your egr delete pipe is outside dimension on one side then 51mm internal on the other to go onto the stainless steel pipe

I totally agree mate disgrace I think it's because forge know how much people are after these sort of boost pipes so have stuck a massive price tag on them knowing people will pay it as its the only aftermarket boost pipe available (solid silicone pipe) someone correct me if I'm wrong

Ok fair enough. The hose attaching to my egr delete keeps blowing off even with the beaded edge

If anyone wants a type A coupler I have a spare here

Hmm try putting 2 jubilees on mate or them mikalors

Carlvrs you're a legend! Been having loads of trouble with boost hoses. Just put my order in for this stuff. Thanks for sharing it.

Glad your happy mate think everyone's in the same boat with boost pipe issues let me know how you get on with fitting them also when ordering the silicone hoses just let them know what colour your after if your buying the ones from the link they are spot on

Yeah. I'll let you know. I've gone for black hoses. Just done elephant mod also. Looking forward to some trouble free motoring now.

have you noticed a difference in performance, does it pull any better or no different. did u have to remove the bumper to attach it onto the intercooler

Massive difference mate pulls like a train now and my mpg is a million times better but that's because I knew my original pipe was leaking boost, also no you can get to it by taking out the headlight makes things a lot easier
