Title: Fitting a KO3s - TIP Hose
Post by: Procomp on 02 April 2012, 21:20: Hi
I just want to check if I need to get a different type of TIP hose to go with a KO3s turbo upgrade? I figure I might as well go for a Forge TIP if I'm going to be fitting this to my 1.8T.

Post by: rio_gti on 02 April 2012, 22:37: I see the only visible difference is the extra connection on it as I got the one with the extra bit but blocke it off with a bolt..... Does this mean I got the k03s tip???

Post by: palmtree on 03 April 2012, 23:56: K03s couple of mm bigger than an K03

That's why you need a silicone tip as it'll easily stretch the extra couple of mm over the inlet where a standard K03 metal tip won't

Post by: rio_gti on 04 April 2012, 13:48: if i got the wrong tip on my turbo will i get a leak then? as lately i can here a vaccum cleaner noise like a turbo spool when the turbo kicks in, but you can also hear the spool up aswel :huh:

Post by: palmtree on 04 April 2012, 16:52: The only reason to have the TIP for you engine code is so the ports aren't reversed and you don't need to blank one off, makes no difference at the turbo end
