Forge TIP has landed ...... Few questions again
« on: 11 April 2013, 10:27 »
Soo my tip has just arrived and i have a few questions

1 - not really a question but its alot smaller than i thought lol
2 - there seams to be what i can only describe as a reducer in 1 of the ports ? Is it supposed to be in there as looking at pictures no one else has it
3 - 1 of the holes is plugged up with the metal thing .... If its model specific then why is it like that ?

Sorry to sound stupid lol



Reducer thing

Looks like They may have changed it a bit as without the reducer are they the same size? One is usually smaller for the hockey puck.

You will soon see when it comes to fitting it of you need the plug or not but that's a touch you got one thrown in!!!

Have fun fitting it!!!!

+1 although mine was a creation Motorsports one.

As for question about the blank that's dependant on the engine code. Mine is an AUM so my car has something plug in there but I think the AGU doesn't use it :)

Its just the fitting on the turbo side that was an absolute nightmare, had to redo mine again last night as it was loose  :shocked:

fitting it onto the turbo isn't the hard part, its getting the jubilee clip on far enough and tightening it due to the angle

Just over 2 hours and im done ! It as good as fell onto the turbo lol i undone a coolant hose bracket which i now cant get on which im sure will be fine i also forgot where everything went, the dv and spaceshipp looking thing where orcward to get on as the stupidly close now but the hardest part which im still not 100% happy with is how its on the maf !!! It was a cnut to say the least ive had to not put the rubber thing on the airbox so it angles ever so slightly (il take pictures in a bit ) oh also the vac line at the bottom of the tip is higher than before which was a pain.

Overall ....... NEVER AGAIN !
