Charge Pipe to Turbo Hose

[Eddie S3]

Does anyone have a part number for the oem hose?
I've had this fitted Forge Motorsport | Alloy Fabrication
But now part of it has melted away and the jubilee clip won't stay on anymore under boost

Have you got a relentless manifold fitted at all?

OE hose is twice the price of a forge one btw...

Nope just a standard mani, Ahh i see..I'll probably just order the forge one again then. Did me well for two years

 

[<tuffty/>]

Ah k... relentless will melt it for sure lol....

I have heard of the Forge ones de laminating before but generally speaking it should last a bit longer than than two years... you still need to use the OE heat wrap if you have it as this will help..

Two years from a "high temperature resistant flourosilicone compound" product?! That doesn't sound right?!

I'd email Forge or the place you purchased the hose from and get it replaced

Ill fitting or crap jubilees eat into these, all it takes is it to pop off a few times, then they never stop on..

I've emailed them yesterday but not had a reply from them.
Heat wrap has always been round it also
Heres a couple of photos

Lol- I did the same earlier actually as I wanted to know what happens if my current Forge products failed and he said the same dude - free replacement could get sent out.

He did say it was very rare for that part to fail- so hopefully you won't have any issues with the new one

That's a good result, Eddie. Always worth an email!
