Yea sorry I changed my spark plugs at the same time. I use NGK irridium '8' plugs at stage 2+. There are quite a few spark plug threads youll find lots of useful info in

Do you mean one of these?:

If so, I did on my K03 Mk5 GTI.

Result is too subtle to identify clearly and disappointing when considering the high cost of the Neuspeed components. However, I think it's something which adds to the package as a whole.

I have a RR Graph of before and after the Turbo Discharge pipe was put on.

It didn't include the intercooler pipe as i have now Relocated the DV but the discharge pipe alone gave me 4bhp and 10lb/ft so i would imagine it would be somewhere around that figure for you Hurdy

See here:

Before Discharge Pipe

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fww275%2FTaufe%2FCARL1.jpg&hash=9df9b4ffbf7bf3a7a3726e95581a790e1cc01f96)

After Discharge Pipe

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fww275%2FTaufe%2FBLU.jpg&hash=5c26caeb0457fa2d397db2e84e1cc2c4a568888b)

Oh and i know the RR Runs are 6 months apart but nothing else was altered on the car. I got the discharge pipe and added it. The car was still running Stage 2 REVO on settings B8 T5 F8. All other mods were the same.

The Intercooler pipe makes no difference (well not on my K03s Octavia anyway) which is part of the reason i relocated the DV and took it off (also because i have other plans).

But the Turbo discharge pipe definately gives an increase and i would expect it maybe a bit more on a K04 car.

@ Sy and RedRobin. The Neuspeed one removes the kink/curve in the OEM pipe so makes the airflow better hence the slight increase in power etc. Price i agree is too expensive but i didn't pay the full price.

Carl :happy2:

IMO.... the increase isnt worth the price of the part!
