I noticed a nice improvement also in my fuel comsumption and the car just rolls so easy when your off the throttle.

Is the SFS hose the same part as the Neuspeed ones? What's your thought on it?

My thoughts are the SFS hoses are much better as each hose is one piece and not in tiny sections like OE pipes. I had the neuspeed hi flo intercooler pipe and the SFS hose is wider even though it has a slighty squashed side in it to avoid the radiator fans. The turbo to i/c pipe does not have that bend in it and is a straight pipe, so flow should be quicker. The hoses are made from very thick silicone so build quality is top notch and since fitting them the engine revs and pulls so much easier. Its given the engine more grunt over the whole rev range. All in all they are expensive but worth it. I paid a lot less as I purchased them through here from a top bloke :happy2:

Me and a friend had a go at this today, started un-tightening the 1st bolt (one you can see from engine bay) felt real tight, we tried WD40 (left for 10mins) still felt tight.
so heated up with blow torch, got a few turn out of it but still was really tight, my mate said it feels like itmight snap....i have heard a few people mention this
Anyone have a link to get a replacement bolt and seal kit?....or just buy straight from VW
Thanks guys

I use a wire brush on them for 2-3 mins add plenty of duck oil and if they go tight just keep going back and forth.
Must have undone 400+ of these nuts and only ever had 1 snap (on a 2 month old Audi TT which was odd :confused: )
