Title: Neuspeed Turbo Discharge Kit
Post by: fab5freddy on January 14, 2014, 08:30:13 pm

Recently bought a second hand pipe, which turns out to be the wrong one for my car going by the product description

They have an early and late version being the locating tabs are slightly different

The locking tabs on the Neuspeed i have are located at 12 and 6 o'clock, and going by there description mine should be at 9 and 3 o'clock to match my build year

My question is to anybody that knows, can the intercooler coupler just be turned 90 degrees and attached that way or is there more to it than that?

I'm fairly sure that it can be as i remember fitting the coupler to the forge twintercooler hoses and don't see why i can't just spin it round, just looking for confirmation before i pull it apart :happy2:

James iirc you shouldn't have an issue with mating if you have the twintercooler coupling.

Hopefully Alex would wander in here and be more definitive.

Cheers Ayoub, yeah I'm hoping that's the difference, probably the standard hose is fixed, where as I remember clamping the twintercooler

Hopefully I've dodged a bullet there  :rolleye:

All fitted this afternoon, along with an oil change and a Unibrace UB  :jumpmove:

As suspected, this fits fine with the twintercooler hoses, would make sure you get the right version if you have standard hoses though :chicken:

Very happy with it, revs alot more freely. Feels like i've gained a bit of torque also in the lower gears

Was a bit skeptical about this mod, especially when considering the price. But after a quick thrash i have too say i'm very pleased
