Standard AGU bar a remap and pipercross panel filter. Nice healthy well serviced car.
I fitted a s2k filter last month. Far too noisy and felt like it lost drivability at the bottom end. So reverted back to the opened up airbox and panel filter.
I picked up a new forge TIP for peanuts, and fitted it today. Quite simple job, the main body fits perfectly between the turbo and airbox, but the DV needs a little work to fit nicely. Tided up the catch can and renewed all vacume hoses to n75, DV, FPR and wastgate while I was there.
Went for a drive and in amazed. It has lost a little poke down below, but the way it pulls between 4-6k is night and day to before. And the noise it makes is addictive.
Up the top end before was a little limp after the initial boost was fed in. But now it just pulls and pulls.
Im seriously considering a 3"DP now, but really do t to loose any more low down grunt

If u don't mind me asking. What did you pay for tip???
-
£74 ish as I Remember

There is literally NOTHING wrong with it
-
Never knew did a 2nds shop!!! If known that id of got a firge instead of my naff creation motorsport one
-
Are the creation motorsports ones really that bad? Was looking at their 80mm k04 tip with the turbo inlet adaptor, guess ill be getting a badger5 one now.
-
Alot of used em on here no issues as per my other thread it could just be a dodgy one i gad. But the fit very poor imho
-
You sir are a legend ! I was looking everywhere this morning for a decent price or used 1 couldnt see much change from £155 so this is a massive relief on the bank account :grin:
-
Just wondering the ones that are on there say they are for the
- AVC - APH - AJQ - AGU - ATC engine codes so would this still fit the
Aum code and is it worth buyin the silicon coolent pipes ???
-
Ive sent them an email asking if theyve got any that fit the aum ect
-
Mines an AGU. Not perfect with DV location but manageable.
If you've deleted your SAI and fitted a catch can to atmosphere I reckon these will fit. It's just the placement of the above that's swopped round on AGU/AUM
-
I've not changed anything as dn what I'm doing with the car so quite
Hard for me to tune it :/

A bigger downpipe just makes the turbo spool quicker and lets it breath more/faster, you shouldn't have lost low end poke from fitting a TIP though, you sure its all tight?
-
Yeah it's airtight.
I think it's just because its smoothed out the power delivery. That bottom bit of the tip is a huge restriction
-
I need an AUM one too!
-
3" dp transformed my car. Sounds epic hearing more turbo noise and it picks up so well now
-
Does anyone know if the tip listed on ebay will fit an aum engine ? Still no reply from them which is a tad annoying !
-
I dn I got fed up and went and spent 409£ on there website for my car few more
Bits and stage 2 remap :laugh:

Thought the other TIPs would fit just a different breather position or extra one or summit? :sad:
-
See this is what im unsure about just need comfirmation really
-
I got a forge on mine, sounds the tits, much better then the standard! :cool:
-
What difference does it make sound wise ashmond ? Ive read you can here the recirc abit more ? Is that right ?
-
Only because it allows more breathing, the standard TIP is rubbish and the difference when uprated is massive, but if you want the DV or turbo spool louder, remove the sound proofing from under the bonnet, did mine at weekend and sounds epic
-
I was thinking of doing that in the summer when its abit hotter as i find compared to other cars the 1.8t does build up some heat under there ! So looks like a job for tomorrow :)

i thought you would be running a badger 5 how comes you went with forge
-
Thecsound is good with TIP on and i removed my sound proofingvtoo. Much better
