Title: Anyone changed the throttle pipe
Post by: Madone on August 08, 2016, 05:14:25 pm: Do many people change the pipe that runs to the throttle body, a few people have a CTS version, is this a worthy upgrade ?

Also buy the turbo outlet replacement pipe too. the OEM one is tiny

CTS and Neuspeed make them.

Ive seen a few people use these :happy2: not sure if you'll get hit with charges tho? Seems cheap for both pipes

Post by: Paradox1 on August 11, 2016, 12:04:23 pm: it basically lets the air flow quicker to the engine.

think of it like how you fit a 3inch exhaust to get the gasses out of the engine.... these pipes increase the flow into to engine

this throttle pipe is for k03 by the way

Post by: Madone on August 11, 2016, 04:33:06 pm: I am K04, so should be fine. Thanks

Post by: Paradox1 on August 11, 2016, 04:34:53 pm: In that case that is the one

Post by: AJP on August 11, 2016, 05:50:29 pm: Think I'm right in saying the CTS pipes have a bigger bore than the Neuspeed ones. 2.5" rather than 2.25".

Double check that, because I'm not 100%, but it might be worth considering.

I have Neusped discharge pipe and custom AKS tuning throttle body pipe. Every little helps when making it flow & breathe better

Post by: pudding on August 26, 2016, 04:19:50 pm: Recently fitted the discharge and throttle pipes to my ED30 and noticed bugger all, so put the standard ones back. The K04 pipes aren't as small as the K03 ones though, which is probably why!
