Question

Hi all,

what is the purpose of the silicon intercooling piping fitted as part of the PPP kit to a MY99 car?

Does it aid performance, or is it purely because the old rubber wont stand the heat?

As standard, there is a piece rubber hosing. This is replaced bt 2 larger diameter pipes (Samco) & a pice of cast ally.

The diameter (flow?) is obviously increased with also slighly better routing, so less air-turbulence interfering with flow.

Better flow = more air = more bhp

My understanding of it...

It also enables it to run more boost. The standard pipe bursts at around 17psi after a while.

Cheers,

The piping is getting fitted as soon as my dealer gets it in from Prodrive.

Been running PPP without it for about 3/4 weeks.
