After buying this http://www.awesomegti.com/car/skoda/octavia2/forge-silicone-throttle-body-hose-for-2-ltre-fsit from awesome GTI and i am in need of advice on how to fit this lol

removed the clips but cant shift the hose!! :(

 

Any one fitted this?

any tips?

 

Cheers

Any one??

Undo the two jubilee clips.  Try & twist the whole hose to break the seal to the pipe.  Push downwards, pull sideways & pull up.

 

If that doesn't work then disconnect the hard pipe that comes up from the IC - there's either 1 or two bolts attaching it to the engine.  Pull the whole lot downwards

 

It's not a hard job but some brute force required

ok cheers for that!!

just didnt wanna break anything lol

The Forge hose is very very hard to fit; as I found out. Everything came of relatively easy; fitting the hose (as it is such a tight fit) lost me several layers of skin on my knuckles. 

 

To fit mine; we ended up removing the Intercooler Pipe (replaced with a Neuspeed one at the same time) and pushed the Forge hose up on to the TB. We then refitted the Intercooler Pipe.

Neuspeed pipe?

This part; didn't replace it for any reason in particular. Kind of figured whilst it was off anyway, why not replace it?

Any benefits from fitting it?

I've fitted it with the Neuspeed Turbo Outlet Pipe. It feels like the car breathes easier at the top end; I wouldn't say it makes a big difference. 

 

I bought it mainly because it looks nice; and it is another new part which I can now forget about.

Hahaha I see might have to treat my self to one!!

Might have to fire off a pm on how to it it tho seen as I found it hard trying to get the pipe off!!
