jus wondering what the main advantages of silicone pipes?
being thinking of getin the -
                                        forge diverter valve relocation kit?
                                        forge t.i.p?
                                        forge 7 piece coolant hose kit?
                                        forge 5 piece silicone hose kit?

but not to sure weather they will be worth the cost? what you tink lads?


All IMO ;):-

1)  Save your money - DV works best nearer the turbo. ;)
2)  Well worth the money.
3)  Only if you need them &/or want to dress up the engine bay
4)  Next on my list - These hoses have gone brittle on my car. :afro:

Re - number 4 Ivor what make you going for, Where from bud?  :smiley:


What..................  The Forge 5 piece kit........................?? :huh:



From SFS, of course! :D :D :D

PMSL sorry long day lol  :grin: :grin: :grin: :laugh:

boost hose from intercooler to throttle housing has a tendency to collapse due to it's S shape when letting off boost so it's worth doing that one if any along with the TIP.

Wazzer, does any of the Forge 5 piece kit get replaced by the hoses that you get with the Forge FMIC?

i've got the SMIC lol

iirc you wouldn't use the biggest one with the FMIC (s shaped throttle to intercooler on the standard set up)

the turbo or the boost pipe end? I found this pipe from my chinese kit wouldn't fit on the K03 on mine, tried it on my K03s and it fits a treat
