22/09/13Because race car
Shortly after having a discussion with the boys from R-tech about stage 2+ mapping for my car, I received one of their oversize T.I.P's. Upon arrival I was quite shocked to see just how much bigger it is in real life
.
I heard a few stories with them being a real pain to fit, but being a plant engineer im used to tight spaces and hand positions you wouldn't even think were possible
.
with the use of my friends ramp I set upon the task of removing the upper 45* boost pipe to gain a bit of access to removing all relative pipework and old tip. it took me around 1 & 1/2 hours from start to finish instantly noticing afterwards how much better the car responds to W.O.T from midrange to topend.
fat assss
Here are some comparison pictures.
monstrously bigger than standard and forge
I managed to bend the steel water pipe with it still attached to the block just enough to slide the T.I.P down to the turbo
the finished product
I also had 4 new tyres fitted as they were all getting down to the markers
Now got more rubber than Ann Summers
and for this to be in the boot only means one thing
.... MOT time
all parked up ready for exhaust fitting and test
Will report back on test out come
any opinions thoughts welcome as always
thanks for reading
