Hi does anyone know if its possible to change the turbo intake hose (think that's the right name?) without removing the inlet manifold? The Samco one that's on there has split badly on the elbow so need to change it asap

Cheers

they go under the inlet though middle fuel lines ..i tried had no luck had to take my inlet off to fit mine ..

most places like zen,scoobyclinic,engine tuner say if you can squezze an after market 1 in with out stripping then its sh*t qualty and on boost will collaspe on its self stopping air in feed ..

other wise get a standard 1 as good aftermarket 1 are expensive

My perrin one came with fitting instructions, and the inlet manifold stayed on! But it was a fiddly F@cker of a job, that was on a hatchback not sure about other models.

leave inlet manifold on too much work involved, as above fiddly bugger to do. Buy one where you insert the take offs after its inplace, you can loosen the pump out of the way but make sure you nip it right up at the turbine or it will play havick on your MAF, it destroys your fingers pushing it in

Ah ok cool thanks for the tips. I can't believe the Samco one on there has split, seeing as they are over £200 lol. Was looking at the Viper performance ones as they seem reasonable and not crazy expensive.

if your running standard power will be fine but once you get near 400 unless theyre wire reinforced like the SFS ones they will suck shut happened to me

They're over £200 wow that's expensive. The viper performance ones are £180ish all in do you think they will be ok? I have used them before for other hoses and they appear well made. Im only running about 330bhp nothing crazy.
