Found this while doing research on the stock PD150 TIP
Any of the PD owners tried this hose on their PD engines? SFS Performance
The website doesn't seem to have a page for individual parts?
Only a list of all their parts, but the one I'm talking about has the part number AH33

That's another question I was about to ask
Will the SFS one give any performance increase over the standard PD150 TIP?
From my understanding, the PD150 TIP has a bigger ID than the TIP on my car(PD100) thus making the engine to breath easier
That's why I started researching on the PD150 TIP at the first place
If the SFS one has any extra gain over the standard PD150 one, I would just go straight to the SFS one
Just noticed SFS claims their hoses are all manufactured by hand
Unless you like the red silicone, I would spend your money on something else. Its not going to earn you any extra kW, not unless you are already pushing 180kW+
The PD150 has a bigger turbo than your car, which is a much better part to spend money on

They have 7 colours to choose from and would just go with black
But yeah, PD160 turbo is already on
PD150 injectors are on their way, then a new tune to make them work
200BHP is the short term goal, might go crazy on the turbo in the future though
I would stick with your stock intake pipe for a while yet - there are a few benefits, like that it fits properly, wont get rubbed through etc.
It would really surprise me if it was limiting in any appreciable way - turbocharged engines aren't nearly as easily affected by intake efficiency as a normally aspirated engine. If the intake is a few % less efficient than its 'sports' or 'race' alternative, the turbocharger will automatically compensate for that inefficiency, and its pretty unlikely that compensation is going to impact the overall performance measurably - it might mean a few thousand rpm extra for the turbo at some given operational time, but its not going to be of any significance until you are at the end of the turbochargers ability - like at max rpm and max boost. In otherwords, unless your turbo is already maxed out, it wont help.
