Off topic but...

Can you buy uprated hoses from anywhere for the gt150 or is it just for the 130s? I hear it's a big problem with them leaking or coming off etc.. do the uprated ones help at all for those of you that have got the ones for the 130 tdi..?

Or is there any other solution for after a remap

Any help appreciated  :smiley:

Can't really comment on the quality of either

I've got an SFS hose for my 130 and if I'm honest I don't rate it very highly

If it was my money I'd be looking at the Allard stuff but then even that has issues with regards to fitting  :undecided:

meh...

so is there anyway to lessen the risk of the pipes coming off more.. or does it generally happen after getting the cars either 130 or 150 remapped?

might not get mine done if the pipes are gonna leak/crack or pop off alot  :cry:

All you can do is replace all the o-rings and clips BEFORE you remap and check the condition of the lugs on the pipes to help reduce the problems
