Kinda serious man, I've heard nothing but bad news about these SplitR valves for years on end.

A mate of mine recently ditched his for a 008, and he's over the moon with how much better the car responds.

I'd try and make your money back on it and get a 007

If yours went straight on then there must be different sizes so god no's why forge say there 25mm?back to the drawing board i go lol.
1.8T AUM,18"s,full koni suspension kit,forge split r on fully recirc,k&n induction with cold air feed,FMIC,r32 front,colour coded rear valance,black front and rear VW badges,5 door wind deflectors,boost gauge an volt metre in A pilla pod,full brushed alluminum net optic interior,full creame heated interior,

Also if your so technical them help with problem mr brainiac see strange clicking thread have a read and give your amazing opinion

Fine, if you want to be a cock about it, I'll help.

Looking at the picture that the OP has posted, the inlets are clearly not 25mm OD, as is obvious. i would suggest they will be 31mm OD and 25mm ID, which relates to 1 1/8th in imperial sizing. Why so many parts are still sized to suit old imperial sizes I do not know, but it happens a lot still.

If you still want to fit this SplitR valve, I'd suggest you purchase 2x 25mm alloy couplers and 2x 25-31mm silicon reducers, along with 6 JCS Hi-Grip stainless steel clamps in the 35-45mm size.

You can purchase all of those bits from www.siliconhoses.com

Once that lot arrives:

Insert the 25mm alloy couplers into the TIP and existing charge pipe connection (you may need to trim the reducers and original charge pipe down a bit), then fit the reducers and clamp that all up. then you should be able to fit the splitR and clamp up as normal.

Once you've got it installed, follow this link and set the valve up as per these instructions:

There we go, for the sake of GTIcheeseman I've made a helpful reply, but I'd still advise you stick it back on ebay and get a 007P.

I'm not trying to be arsey at all Cheesedude, I've been tuning 1.8T's for my self and many others for 6 years and tried most things in that time. I love Forge products, but I've never had a good experience with a SplitR valve, and they don't even sound that good.
