Title: TDI 150 hard pipes?
Post by: Wazzzer on 19 February 2009, 18:39

A mate of mine has got a big problem with his boost pipes on his TDI. He has got a big leak on one of his hoses which was found on his remap session. He wants to get some hard pipes instead of fixing the ones on there again to eliminate the problem

Does anyone know where he can get these from?

as in metal pipes rather than a silicone kit??

Allard did uprated pipework but apparently the fitting was lousy and fouled on everything - many people had to redo the brackets to make it fit

another option is the intercooler kit from SFS Performance but they suffer the same problem as they use the same VW clamping system.  There are some uprated clamps in development though

Any good? lol

metal or silicone would do him I think, he just needs to solve the leaky pipes.

Oh I need to catch you on MSN when we've both got 5mins  :wink:

Ahh the dreaded pipe problem ..join the club, not had leaky pipes just to much pressure causing the clips to blow.

On another note have decided my car isn't fast enough since the re map need to re think and work out what next !
