Title: G60 boost pipe
Post by: matt@onlychargeddubs on 18 October 2013, 11:01

Just had this knocked up yesterday to gauge any interests really.

It's to replace the plastic boost pipe with the CO Pot flange (we've now got the bare flanges in stock too) on all 8v G60 engines with FMIC, or to use with conversions or FMIC fitting on Corrados with standard pipes.

It fits straight in place of the factory pipe, we're looking into doing our own silicone joins too but this could be a month or so off from being done but will keep you all up to date on that.

So what's your thoughts? Interested?

Final price for the pipe will be £96 inc VAT, we're aware this is quite steep for what it is but with this pipe being obsolete and hard to find 2nd hand we think it's about right. The flange is for sale on it's own at £20 so you can do with as you like so the price is pretty much our cost plus a little mark up :)

Thanks

I will bear this in mind if I have issues with the OEM, but to be honest there are plenty of other issues that an old G60 will eat ~£90 on, boost pipes being way low down the list!!!

Yeah we're very aware of that :grin: like I say it's not so much aimed as just being a replacement.

The plastic pipe can be a complete pain to get hold of and doesn't look hugely attractive either so it's just another nice little part to be able to get hold of with ease :smiley:

Commendable that you are fabricating stuff like this and doing something different.

Thanks :) It's what I want to do, keep things alive and this is just one way of doing it as I see
