Why is the badger 5 TIP so much better than some of its rivals (or so I hear) iv seen a few TIPs on ebay from china ect for far less in some cases about 35 quid so what is it that justifies its price tag to be so much higher?

to be fair sometimes i do.understand why some people question, as with forums sometimes one person suggests something and everyone follows blindly then before u know it the whole forum recommends a product from one persons .
Bill's 80mm TIP thread in his forum here on ASN..

Plots in the thread are from an S3 that came in with a silicon TIP and had an 80mm TIP fitted so direct comparison as the only change was the TIP
Should be noted that silicon TIPs such as the ones on eBay you are on about are typically just silicon copies of the OEM one... no flow advantages but overcome the problem of the TIP collapsing once the car had been mapped... these TIPs are an upgrade in thier own right to the OEM for sure but nothing has given the performance increases I have seen from using the B5 one...

Hi
The difference in girth between stock & most aftermarket silicons like you have seen on ebay etc is part of the story why the B5 one genuinely adds power.
Most silicon TIPs are only slightly larger than the stock units, whereas the B5 TIP uniquely is full 80mm Bore to the turbos intake, with zero steps in its flow ID into the turbo..
It has worked out very well.
Available as TIP only or as full induction kit like below (for even more gains)
More info in my section here> Badger 5

All 3 colours available from stock currently.
Bill I do love the girth of your TIP mate...

On that informative note Nick thread lockedFact is, the badger 5 TIP is an amazing bit of kit, and more than worth the price compared to cheaper alternatives.
