Silicone Hoses
« on: 05 July 2011, 15:38 »
Howdy all,

well looks like im going to go down the this route one for the appearance two just to replace the old rubber hoses that are pushing 12 years old plus I am now remapped so could be worht while.

I have been advised these are good: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160604367796&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Or I did see on R-tech site they offer some not sure the difference mind sure Nick might be able to help there?

So I am all up for purchaisng these but wont be able to fit them as I am usless on the car front where be the best place to go? Local garage and ask them or back to the lad at R-tech? Will get my MAF and N75 done to!

Thanks

Most of the pipes are fairly easy to fit, well i know the standard ones are as had to change a few over the years of having my golf.

i bought the tip from this guy, took less than 2 weeks delivered and was really good quality, very strong stuff and a lot cheaper than the rest. im assuming his boost pipes are the same quality.

Does this option really help performance or is it more for looks and less chance of leaks? Cheers

less chance of popping off, stronger under higher pressure. only prob is when they get a hole they end up tearing, oe rubber doesnt (usually)
