EuroCode Tuning carries them (check with Forge to get the closest person)

Default Thanks and no worries

ah the 1st meet (in May yes)? I was parked next to Kevin's very "mild" TT. It certainly looked a bit different at the November one!

Default are you getting an FMIC?

if not then I don't think you need to get the top hoses as your lower hoses will all be reg OEM. I only upgraded to the top hoses when I had the FMIC (so the entire look was samco).

I suppose it can't hurt to get them but I don't think you'd notice any difference, it would be more of protection against possibly leaks.

Default Re: my top hose on the right side is melting...its down to the wire beads

not normal? What could possibly make that hose melt if its not normal?

Default turbos are getting TOO hot possibly. doesn't sound good, as it ..

shouldn't happen like that. could it be that the turbo bearings are wearing out? and making it excessively hot? you better check it out.
