what's that TB pipe you have their next to the original? Is it the Neuspeed one?
For info....my IC to TB pipe is coming off in a few weeks. The original design is just too fat with no compression, and the rad fan has taken a good 1-2mm cut into the pipe.
Not wanting for it to cut clean thru and causing a major boost leak, i'm having the OEM pipe put back on.
Now SFS did tell me the design was changed to give it more room. But I've not seen it or had it fitted to my car so can't say much on it.
The Turbo to IC pipe will stay on tho.

Yes, I think that SAMCO are probably more expensive than their rivals. Merlin Motorsport give an excellent fast service and are quite competitive.

....Yes, Neuspeed Charge and Discharge pipe replacements.
The only result I was able to just about feel (probably with a placebo factor) was slightly freer running and response. Expensive for what it is and not my best mod, but every bit helps.
If anyone is seriously considering an intercooler upgrade, don't spend on these hoses because they'll need replacing when you do the aftermarket intercooler.

I can't knock the 10bhp i saw on the before/after RR runs, but its full width straight from TB to IC is just too much. You can see the neuspeed pipe narrows in the middle section so its not as fat as my SFS pipe, hence no probs for you. Oh well it didn't cost me anything anyway! :happy2:

if you buy the S3 i/c it comes with better pipes/hoses than the standard gti one.
