although I swear I've checked this hose a thousand times before. Maybe it was small and got bigger when tip was fitted.
Now here's the problem, there's none of those silicone replacement jobbies on ebay at the moment, I've messsaged the seller so I'll just have to leave it for now :(

the lugs for the dv and accumulator valve are in a slightly different place, so that pipe takes a bit of a stretch when reinstalled.. i checked it when we were done and it was flimsy but hole-free :grin: you'll be fine driving it like that until you get a replacement.. i bet half the aum owners on here have the same broken pipe and aren't even aware of it :laugh:

I thought you'd check it :). So basically this isn't the source of my problems?! Look by the PCV hoses and can't see no problems! N249 bypass soon me thinks. and maybe a new 007p.

That old chestnut! Think AUM drivers should keep a spare one of these in the glovebox. Let us know if you source a silicon one from somewhere.
-
well the guy said he's having a look round for one. Hopefully he finds one I'm eager to sort it!

Is that the seller called volksbits?
According to receipts the hoses on ours are about a year old now, so think its time I found one of these too! :grin:
-
i asked "volksbits" the other day about some pipes , and he also told me they were out of stock ...be a couple of weeks ke reckoned ..

When I get an answer I'll buy two then one for you! Yeah it's volksbits, was going to buy one ages ago and wish I had now!

Can you give him a nudge to see if the lower breather pipes are ready? I broke mine replacing that top breather pipe so mine is taped up at the moment.
I still seem to be loosing power somewhere though. Might have to take a visit to R-Tech.
-
all you AUM boys with your inferior breather pipes :grin:
I don't think my replacement bilge pump pipe is gonna rot any time soon though :shocked:

Is yours mapped yet? Can take you out in mine at some point!

Sounds like a plan. I keep meaning to come to brands too. Perhaps we can combine the two. First Wednesday of every month isn't it?
-
good spot that tim :laugh: least hopefully you'll get it sorted soon replaced mine not long ago in a worst state than yours :grin: how much does eveything move in relation to the std tip openings with the forge one fitted :huh: as i have my tip to fit :lipsrsealed:

I'm not sure mate, as I had exhast and the new map as well. I'm sure it makes a difference, have you seen the standard tip?

from what i have read its a worthy upgrade yes had a look at your pics thats more or less what made my mind up and searched last night and found a video (as an example audi tt tip) std and it showed how it tried to suck itself in under hard boost :shocked: went in by about 1" was defo convinced then that upgrade needed lol

I've found that the forge tip is easier to squeeze than the std tip,i very much doubt they are any stronger tbh.

its not stronger as such patch although the silicone is a better material it was the fact that the std tip pipe tried to draw into itself when real hot and hard boost

have a look at this http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/media/intake.mpg

Yowzer! :shocked:
Is this only a possible problem on a mapped engine? Likely to happen with standard?

My under standing is that the forge tip has a bigger intake area and allows more air flow and creating less vacuum.If the forge silicone pipe was fitted to the std lower tip,i suspect the same thing would happen.
-
My THS TIP is solid at the bottom bend, I think it must have a metal lining in the silicone walls as I can bend it out of shape and it stays there

Standard TIP, turbo end:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/T_J_G/photo-16.jpg)
Really is quite small inlet to the turbo, hard to see in the picture.

This is the reason the pipe collapsed in the video,the air being sucked through that pancake part will be creating a high vacuum,the forge kit has a bigger opening so less vacuum is created.It has nothing to do with quality of the silicone imo.

agree with you about that :wink: although silicone is a much more resilient material over rubber as its put together with several overlapped layers hence why most engine bay products for boost or coolant pipes are silicone manufactured maybe more expensive than std oem rubber pipes but will last far longer

only if its manufactured tidily - my SFS hose is falling apart..........
