ok,was having a new water pump/cam belt etc fitted today,so asked the blokes at the garage to fit my Forge TIP-their saying that the end of the TIP that goes to the turbo wont fit onto the turbo end,rather that its meant to fit into the turbo and get bolted flush to it,but the end of the TIP is to small,as if there's a extra part needed????
i have no doubt ive not described what they meant to well,i trust them to know what their on about,and having just looked at a picture else where on here of a turbo,i kind of understand what they mean,so what am i missing?
i wasnt there when they tried it,so im writting this kind of blind-i know several of you good people have silicone TIP's,so any advice would be much appreciated.
-
Forge tip should definately fit any k03 or k03s turbo
-
+1 on what Chris says.
Should fit pretty easy.
-
its a snug fit, but it fits. You sure they have it round the right way?
-
thats what is doing my head in-it should just slip over the end of the turbo and get jubilee clipped up tight right?
their saying that it would blow off as the end of the turbo is way to big?
think i need to ring the bloke i got the car off n see if the turbo is different from standard.
-
what side does the downpipe come out of?

got any pics?

Forge TIP will fit both the K03 and K03s so they are doing something wrong IMO (not sure what though lol)
-
should even fit a k04-001 off ebay. my mates did.
-
Get some pics up, something is wrong somewhere its common sence how to fit it.
Standard one comes off, Silicone goes back on the same way but using a jubilee clip not a alan key bolt.
Mine fitted absolutley fine on a k03 and k03s.

I'd be scared if it was my cambelt they're fitting :lipsrsealed:
-
think i no what theyve done. there not pulling the metal piece off thats bolted on turbo thats part of oem TIP.

This.. It's pretty obvious if you put them side by side.

i take on board all the 'would'nt use em again' comments,but they've always been spot on with me and the work they've done is always 100%-but it did surprise me that they could'nt suss it.
thanks for all your help chaps

I wonder how long they tried to fit it haha

surely they took the old one (or half of it) out and though, hmm looks different to the silicone one.

had it fitted else where-pretty certain the first lot didnt even try to fit it,just made a story up,which is annoying,cos they've always been spot on with me,so if they was to busy-just fecking tell me!!
-
