jus wondering what the main advantages of silicone pipes?
being thinking of getin the -
forge diverter valve relocation kit?
forge t.i.p?
forge 7 piece coolant hose kit?
forge 5 piece silicone hose kit?
but not to sure weather they will be worth the cost? what you tink lads?
-
get the boost hoses for sure as most are re-designed to improve air flow which is all good :smiley:
coolant isn't worth it unless yours are cream crackered
-
i want new boost hoses, just need to wait for the upgraded clamps :sad:

As Rhys says and the OEM ones tend to go hard and break / split ect from years of being heated and cooled :wink:.
TIP is well worth doing :afro:

All IMO ;):-
1) Save your money - DV works best nearer the turbo. ;)
2) Well worth the money.
3) Only if you need them &/or want to dress up the engine bay
4) Next on my list - These hoses have gone brittle on my car. :afro:

boost hose from intercooler to throttle housing has a tendency to collapse due to it's S shape when letting off boost so it's worth doing that one if any along with the TIP.
-
Wazzer, does any of the Forge 5 piece kit get replaced by the hoses that you get with the Forge FMIC?
-
i've got the SMIC lol
iirc you wouldn't use the biggest one with the FMIC (s shaped throttle to intercooler on the standard set up)
-
:doh:
Of course!!!
The new would would be more of a 'U' shape instead of the standard 'S' shape, I take it?!
-
ive got the 5 peice forge hose kit and its a right bastard to fit on the guide hose 4 will not go on at all as there not flexible!

Have you contacted Forge about it?
-
the turbo or the boost pipe end? I found this pipe from my chinese kit wouldn't fit on the K03 on mine, tried it on my K03s and it fits a treat

on the second engine pic where you see hose 4 connected to the silver pipe(soory i do not know what pipe this is) it will not go on! i can get it on the other end no probs i just cannot get it on this side!
-
You tried turning it around?? One side is longer than the other! :D
Seriously, have you phoned Forge?
Is it in completely the wrong position, or is it too tight to go on, or what? :undecided:
-
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss got the fooker on! after loads of c, b, f, etc and 2 full cans of carb cleaner i got the notorious hose 4 on!!
