Guys
has any one one fitted one of these to their stock intercoolers on their gtis and notice any difference? Am i right in thinking this hose will follow behind the left side front grille?


Thanks

IMO it will make no difference at all apart from looks. Ave ordered one with my FMIC just so it matches my T.I.P and thats it. The OEM hose will soften up more but wont loose shape and collapse on you

P.S yes it will connect from your MAF to inlet manifold on the left hand side

cant see any performance increase as the other hoses will expand still!

thanks for the replies i didt think their would be any gain either..

Its not so much a gain, more a prevention, as the stock hose gets very soft after a run where the silicon will hold its shape better. Looks good too. Softening doesn't seem to affect the hoses lower in the engine bay, i guess it affects this one so much as its behind the rad.

looking at the hose from the turbo where it joins onto the forge bit behined the wheel arch can this be replaced as its not available??

Kenny, yes you'll get your FMIC this week. We just finished a batch of five.
As for the turbo outlet hose, its possible if theres enought interest, but for what reason do you want to replace it ?

because its a shame to uprate all the hoses bar that one? Any1 else interested in a turbo outlet pipe?

Think it would make any difference?? Not as if anyone can see it apart from the road!
