You get what you pay for, they're pretty restrictive and quality can be hit and miss.

The TIPs are crap.  Far too restrictive (smaller than the forge) and some have been known to collapse on bigger powered 1.8T setups.


Oversize TIP vs Creation Motorsports TIP


Forge vs  Creation Motorsports vs THS TIPs


Forge TIP width against a  Creation Motorsports TIP


Comparison between the Forge and  Creation Motorsports TIP


And Again


The SFS/R-tech oversize TIPS give even more power than the forge TIPs....just shows the quality you get when you buy cheap and how far the tuning 1.8T game has come.

Shown how it is.

Too many people jump on the bandwagon for cheap parts and think they have the best performance.  might feel a 'gain' over stock hardware, but if your wanting to do something properly, then well worth researching true facts and figures/gains before spending/wasting £80 on hardware that isnt going to flow.

Well to be fair im never looking to run big power and the cm tip is alot better than stock. I will see when it goes into rtech to see if the gains are good and what they advise for my setup

marginally better than stock is what id say.

R-tech will recommend the oversize TIPs.

In all fairness, i wouldnt waste my money on the CM tips....but hey....what do I know
