I've just bought the SFS range of silicone hoses inc the inlet pipe. The problem I have is that the OE pipe have has 4 pipes that come out of it and the one that connetc to the turbo (metal tube)
OE pipe, from the turbo to the front they are PCV pipe and 3 air pass by pipes, ones that connects to the inlet manifold.

On the SFS inlet pipe:

has the same amount of pipes coming off it, but are in a different position to the OE one.

Does it matter if they are out of position to the OE ones? I have seen other inlet pipes that have blocked off some of these pipes and fitted and Oil catch can?

If anyone can give me some advice before I return the pipe. Thanks

are they in a different posistion so it makes it easy to pass the inlet under the manifold for easy of fitting ( not having to remove manifold)

Cheers Rich, makes sense!

Looking at the OE inlet pipes does it have an extra breather? So if I fit a catch can then I would connect the extra pipe to the can?

if you were to fit a catch tank you would be blocking off a port on the OE inlet and directing to the tank

Cool, thats my all my queries answered. Found a good fitting guide over on the APS site.

Thanks

im not sure what other mods you have, and i have never seen the SFS inlet before but if i was going to put on mine I would wip of the inlet manifold and fit manifold spacers at the same time

the samco one just isn't worth the effort in trying to fit with out removing the inlet manifold ( your sfs one does look like it may be easiyer .. i may be very wrong... its your knuckles )

I've fitted the hybrid samco to mine...boy it took me about 3 evenings to get it in...

Should of gone down the remove manifold route but hey I like a challenge and the colour red...ouch.
