People who have fitted their own TIP
« on: 12 July 2012, 12:35 »
did mine last night as it looked 'easy' what I thought would be a 20 minute job ended up being an hour.

Jacked NS up and placed an axle stand under

Got underneath the car and removed the 5mm bolt holding the old TIP to the turbo, went topside and removed everything connected to the old TIP and removed it all easy enough.....

New one going in reversal to fitting, could I get the orientation of the TIP anywhere near the turbo no.... removed the 8mm bolt that holds the coolant pipe in to give you supposedly more room (about 1cm I got  :angry:)
In the end I got it fitted and onto the turbo, went underneath again to tighten the jubilee clip and I am sure its not as tight as it should be but didnt want to snap it :shocked:

So just to let people know, its not as easy as you first think, I was going to do my own turbo but after looking at this I think I'll get someone else to do it  :smiley:

I must have tried 5 times to get the TIP onto the turbo and on the 6th time, it just slotted on, I thought 'you gotta be sh1ttin me' checked from underneath and low and behold it was on, it would have taken 30 mins if It went on first time ol

There is a hard coolant line that just didnt budge for me leaving the gap to install the new TIP very minimal, you had to twist it and hope for the best  :laugh:

Creation Motorsport, oh and I forgot to say the little metal part that sticks out of the bottom nearest where the turbo meets the TIP was where the carbon canister delete pipe went to so just blocked it with a large nut and jubilee clip  :wink:

Had no problem with these, I have a black creation one, and had a blue Demon motorsport one prior but changed it as I wanted oem look. First time doing it is a pain, but once you've done it a few times its not too bad.
