lcr turbo outlet hose

[wayne lcr]

any 1 changed the 90 degrees pipe between the charge pipe and turbo.if you have have you noticed any difference.cos i was looking today and its very poor and can be pushed in very easy

They also can crack. Forge do a replacement, it's specific high temperature material.

im looking at one of these anyone got a forge its only like £60

 

[wayne lcr]

same as you gooner i can get 1 made 4 cheap mite just get it and see what happens got to be better than oem 1

 

[Seat Gooner]

yeah ive hear the oem pipes arr pony, just like the TIP pipe

 

[Ronin225]

I have one, no difference in power or response or the like but is much stronger
It is a special high temperature silicone so if you get one made make sure it can take the temps
Mine was done as a preventative item as already had OEM pipes fail including TIP

 

[Seat Gooner]

cool i will get one

Wouldnt bother, was waste of £45 in mine opinion.

 

[Seat Gooner]

??? How Come mate

 

[Ronin225]

It is not a performance upgrade it is for reliability
Had OE pipes fail and hence replacing as much as possible
Looking to go hybrid (eventually) as well so higher temps and older pipes = failure

 

[Dani_b19]

Because comparing the oem and forge one, there was no difference, both are squidgy and press in etc, the only difference is the forge one is newer and had tobe cut down.
Personaly buy a 90" elbow off ebay if you have to.

 

[Seat Gooner]

would that be ok then a 90* from ebay ??

 

[wayne lcr]

yea theres a place in doncaster just down the road and he said 15 quid to me so going tomoz to get it cos the oem is pants and its 1 less pipe to worry about

 

[Dani_b19]

Yeah mate, just get a good quality 5ply one.

 

[Feel]

Not sure a standard item will stand up to the temperature over time, plus the stock one's not exactly 90'.

Your choice, but I think it's one of those cases where you buy cheap and buy twice.

I'd rather leave the stock one on than replace with a standard elbow.

hmmm good point mate
