Ebay reinforced intake pipe?
Is anyone using eBay reinforced intake pipe, if so do they seem OK.
I'm really not to keen on splashing £200+ on samco or similar, my thinking is as long as there reinforced and don't collapse a cheaper alternative should be OK unless fitment is terrible!
Any other options?
Thanks
Luke

Been down this route, if you have a TD04 your cheap intake will be fine. If TD05 or bigger it will definitely collapse at the elbow under boost. - tried, tested and proven

Sounds like I'll be giving samco a miss too!
I looked on the scoobyworx Website and it only shows there's with 3" inlet! They look good qaulity tho.
Been looking at viper pipes and they do look good also with good price
Cheers

I have a water kit (TTRacing) from ebay (seller autopartsupermart_uk), since my my99 rubber hoses where getting very "crunchy". I don't have any complaints, actually I only praise them. Been running them for 2 years, last year my thermostat was stuck closed, it overheated and handled the extra pressure for a couple of moths without any issues.
If I needed an intake, I'd give it a shot.. but hey, I'm a sucker for cheap!

I have this hose at home: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4010185516...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Unfortunately due to my stupidity I f**ked it up during fitting and had to bin it but it seems extremely well made. I weight 100kg and can stand on this pipe and it won't collapse or even bend.

I was trying to fit it without removing manifold. Managed to squeeze it in but it didn't want to go over the turbo, looked like it was a bit too long. So I took it out, compared it with original one and it was about 20mm longer. So I trimmed it 😳😳😳. In the end had to buy original oneone, lift manifold up and fit it that way. Absolute nightmare and money down the drain lol

Well it didn't have to be trimmed at all, now it is too short lol. If you want my advice, lift your manifold. Only 4 bolts each side and it will go up quite a way. No need to take off fuel lines or anything. The only other thing that you'll have to remove is power steering pipe. Then you lift your manifold about 50-60mm up, bend your fuel lines down a bit and you will fit it relatively easy ☺
