Cool cool, ive msg'd him so ill wait for him to drop me a reply.

Mines gettin a bit knackered so i'd rather replace it with something nicer ... want to get the same tube but in red :)

Back on track...



Top left...that's the Samco part, listed for an Ibiza GTI 16v RHD, and shown as part of the coolant kit. But I think they sell it on it's own.
It'll not make any more powr...but it looks pretty.  :kiss:


Found these on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMCO-SILICONE-COOLANT-HOSE-KIT-VW-GOLF-GTi-MK3-16v-/270312753849?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3eefe54ab9

Well the link is for MK3 Golf GTi.

Does anyone know where to buy them apart from ebay??

Well the trader is Amber Performance, or you could buy from any Samco dealer. AwesomeGTI, Venom Motorsport, Demon Tweeks or any of the other huge list of distributors!

Im about to start tidying my engine bay up and have admired the standard yours is at Glen for some time, like the original poster of this thread im considering changing the intake pipe to something similar to what you have done. Going by what you mention in the required pieces to do such a task would the following by adequate?
I have a couple of questions...is that really a 90 degree elbow as the angle the pipe goes off at would say other wise or is this down to the way you've cut it down in length?
How long is the connecting straight pipe? Is essential for the breather pipe to connect to the straight pipe or could it be adapted to enter into the air box?

These are the parts of just sourced:

Elbow : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/76mm-3-ID-90-Degree-Elbow-Silicone-Silicon-Hose-Black-/140279671808?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20a951ec00
Reducer : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/76mm-63mm-Straight-Reducer-Silicone-Hose-Black-/130347748118?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e5954cb16
Straight pipe : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/76mm-3-Aluminium-Alloy-Hose-Joiner-Silicone-Rubber-/130386601000?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e5ba5a428

I made the custom inlet because nobody was making an aftermarket part at the time...and yeah it's a 90 degree elbow and a reducer.
But now, after dynoing it, I wouldn't bother again...there is no gain to be found. It looks pretty, but adds nothing.

The breather could go anywhere I guess...it was trial and error.
