A cheep piece of kit.  What effect would it have?  If it made any kind of improvement to the runing of the engine id pay that for it to be honest

Any one have one fitted??

me thinks that John was being sarcastic...

[SteveS]

i wasnt directly replys to his post, but the product. its not worth the hassle for one bit of tube

[Tfsi_Mike]

Just aesthetics then    Was maybe a bit ambitious to expect much from a bit of pipe

[john_o]

sarcasm doesnt always translate well on a  forum  Im learning that..... (sorry RR  )
In this case I wasnt though,  I havent seen the inner flow of the TB so Ive no idea if theres a benefit, so I'm not going to shoot it down without evidence
there must be some reason why forge produce a pipe........(I would hope)

the other discharge pipes (Neuspeed / normal hoses by a member on here) certainly seemed to have a dyno proven improvement. (albeit they are much longer pipes.)

[SteveS]

if its going to help at all, it would have to be part of changing all the hoses. but better for forge to sell separately i would guess

i can't see any performance gains on that bit whatsoever...just a bit of bling really.

now replacing the Turbo > IC > TB pipes are defo worth it due to the compressed nature of the OEM items.

I have one on mine and it gave me 32bhp and 68lb/ft

Seriously it made naff all difference. However i did notice that the OEM one would swell quite a lot when revving the engine even at stand still (i'm Stage 2+) so i replaced that part as it is a bit stiffer and doesn't swell anywhere near as much. I did notice from data logging that the car made slightly more boost (0020 on average) so it is not something you would ever notice or be able to measure (maybe get 0.01bhp increase) and to be honest the difference could have been caused by a change in intake temp or anything.

For me it just more for reliability
