Forge TIP

[loud]

is there anything required for fitting, other than the hose clamps?

Forge said they can supply them for £15...sounds like a total rip off when I can get them for like <£1 each.

Can anyone tell me the sizes of hose clamps I'll need?


Cheers

best to wait till you get the TIP and pop down to Halfords before you fit it. You can take a rough size the now from the OEM TIP, two small ones 3/4" ish, DV 1 1/2" ish, turbo inlet 2 - 2 1/2" IIRC and big one at your MAF. These are totally from memory tho. Remember it is a total f*****r to fit these!!!!!!!

£15 is a rip off if there bog standard hose clips, unless there supplying stainless steel ones?

You can buy stainless ones made with the exact same steel for under a quid each

You do get what you pay for - we use JCS hi-grip which retail at about £2.20 each. They are the finest jubilee style clamps you can buy. However, if you are buying the less-than-a-quid from the market ones, make sure they have a smooth inside surface or they will eat silicon/rubber hose. Everyone said the same about Mikalor clamps a few years back, starting at £5 for the small ones, now most serious high boosted cars run Mikalor clamps...
