Ok so I want to gain a little more turbo sound and power through bolt-ons. I’ve seeb this 3 piece kit from racingline.

Is it a good deal firstly, secondly what’s the rep on flexi intake hose over the more solid wide bore hoses available? Is it better to have a solid intake hose or can they have a poor seal and leak therefore making this flexi hose the better option?

 

[randy4]

I see a lot of solid intake hoses being used but unsure why?

 

[Rob2k68]

They may look solid but are made from silicon so are indeed flexible.

Has to be flexible to some degree or it's in danger of shearing with engine rotational torque

 

[randy4]

Ah right maybe they’re plastic rather than metal formed. In that case silicone tubing all the way surely it will have better heat insulation over the more rigid plastic tubing

 

[randy4]

Right I’ll go for the bundle then unless it’s a rip off and there’s an alternative from another manufacturer?

You could get a turbo technics intake pipe and an APR muffler delete.

Does the turbo technics intake include the elbow? Therefore only needing two parts between the turbo and the air filter box?

Yes all in one. I'm going for the turbo technics, APR muffler delete and an APR panel filter with the home made intake mod.

I think it works out about the same cost just preference over brand really

makes car sound great, turns heads just from turbo noise alone doesnt take long to fit and adds little bit of extra bhp for sure

You are a bad influence my friend. That is very tempting as I was going to go for the r600 a little later on

I have the full R600 kit, it certainly breaths well, you can hear it “sucking” very clearly!
Acomponied with a milltek non-res valved cat back have noise coming from everywhere.

Would recommend R600

@Nelz-S3, when you say you have the full R600 kit, what does that entail? As im looking at the R600 with a turbo technics intake pipe and APR turbo muffler delete. Already got the Milltek non resonated non valved.

I’ve got the R600, air intake, filter, turbo muffler delete, silicone hose, inlet valve.

About £700 in total.

Still considering this, what will i gain with the R600 air intake over stock or will i gain nothing prior to having a stage 1 remap?

It sounds better, whether it has made it quicker, hmmm I dunno, think it’s all in my head. Stage 1 you’ll definitely know, £1100 ish your looking to map it and the stronic though I’d say. A lot of coin.
