wow thats seriously cheap, i think mine cost around 600

good luck fitting the tip! that will definately be a laugh lol, i've avoided buying one of those purely because of the effort involved!

Why is it so hard to fit the forge TIP?

well imagine the polo engine bay with the gti engine in its not got much space left, not imagine the same engine bay with a 1.8t in and theres even less space to work!

the nightmare is getting the hose on to the turbo housing apparently

and aparently you need a few extra layers of skin and two pairs of hands!

not an easy thing to do apparently!!

I see, is it an expensive purchase?

shantybeater · Post by **shantybeater** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 3:54 pm

not really, probably like 70 quid second hand?
