Hi guys. Went my local garage today to have a couple of things checked and he showed me this:



From looking on Neuspeeds site I think it is this, turbo intake pipe:

http://www.neuspeed.com/products/product_details.asp?app=29|G4&type=11&ltype=ns_euro&p_id=1820 (copy and paste)

From the sounds of it... it's worth upgrading to? Is there any better alternatives, I'm sure someone mentioned using a silicon TIP before now somewhere.. no idea, I'm no mechanic! lol.

I have a 1999 KO3 turbo'd Golf GTI, remapped etc... Is it worth me having off him? Also, what would you pay for it?

Many thanks :)

Maxxeh bought one ages ago IIRC but not sure if he fitted it. I'd get a silicone tip.

Any idea on price i'd be paying on a silicone TIP?

If I went for this one I think I'd offer say 30 quid? lol

So if we're talking 30 quid then maybe it's not a bad addition? As I don't want to spend (or even have) a spare 100 quid at the mo but I'm all for a bargain... :)

The link suggests the Neuspeed one would work with mine.. I'll have to try and get the part number whilst keeping it low key as he doesn't seem to understand what it's worth, and then double check it's the right bit for my car (AGU, ko3, APR stage 1 remap done @ Awesome).

it might be for the AUM so it wouldn't fit the K03. You need to find out what engine code it was from
