After a shocking experience with a cheap inlet pipe, I've learned my lesson and realised never to touch them again. On the 1.8t VAG stuff I am used to the tolerances could be much higher without any issue. I underestimated the need for a proper fitting pipe on the STI quite hugely!

I spent a week searching for an intake pipe which wasn't stupidly over priced, still had a slight kink before the turbo and didn't look like it needed loads of trimming to fit under the inlet and still get the recirculation pipe on.

I was very pleased when I found the TTRacing inlet pipe for under £65 delivered, and having just got it delivered I thought I would share.



I will start stripping back down to fit tonight, but initial thoughts are very promising!

Expect an update of how the fitting went over the weekend

 

IVE GOT ONE OF THESE ON MY SCOOBY AND IN MY OPINION IT'S NOT THAT GOOD A FIT TO BE HONEST

 

THE DOG LEG JUST DOESNT SEEM TO BE ENOUGH

 

AND IT'S KINKING THE PIPE SO IM LOOKING FOR A BETTER ONE

 

When you say the dog leg doesn't seem to be enough, do you mean after the 90* the pipe isn't long enough for the airbox connection pipe? Or do you mean the main body of the pipe isn't long enough to clear the inlet manifold?

 

I MEAN WHERE THE PIPE GOES ONTO THE TURBO IT IS SQUASHED A BIT BY INLET MANIFOLD WHICH ON HARD ACCELERATION COLAPSES

 

Do you have to shout everything lol

 

my caps lock was on sorry lol

 

i like your ***** lol
