Looks promising. Still not convinced I 'need' one, so why do I want one?

cos it will make your car go faster, increase MPG, improve handling, decrease braking distances and make you more attractive to the opposite sex.

What other reasons do you need.

You forgot to mention that it will save it from being scraped

The obvious reasons, reduced black smoke, increased throttle response, reduced turbo lag, improved mpg, better power delivery.

As can be seen in the above photos, the wetness on the outside of the pipe is become porous and the turbo pressure is forcing oil through the hose walls. The pipe swells up too, rubbing on things like the chassis leg and fbh exhaust. When accelerating, the pipe swells up like a balloon creating lag and losing pressure. Eventually bursting losing turbo pressure completely.

I guess you don't want one, but you will almost certainly need one. Unless you have replaced with a new item since the car was built.

The long wait was worth it.
Shame they have not reproduced the whitness marks I carefully drew on the new one to take care of the air temp versions (not Facelift dependant)

Jakg · 17th May 2014, 07:26

Price? Where can we buy one?

I replaced mine with a new OEM one last year but I could still be tempted.
