Pancake intercooler pipe

[99gti]

Another question I have after my day of stuffing around with the car...

Frankee mentioned it to me on the vic cruise but it wasn't untill I stuck my head up in the guard that I really noticed it. The pipe running into the SMIC on the 1.8T looks to be quite rubbish and apears to be very restrictive. Has anyone replced this and did you notice much of a difference?

Just curious - I thought this would be a bit of a no brainer after seeing it. If you have, where did you get the replcement from and how much was it?

hit up ian at www.rennenhaus.com.au he just done a order (more for me) but im sure he will be keen to do a group buy i think mine was around 180-190.00

Im in 2...

But im wondering whether its worth actually getting a front mount...the neuspeed one is pretty good all it requires is a bit of modifying the front bar and its not very noticeable.

Group buy sounds good. Let's see what interest we can gather. Is it the same pipe for the pogo too? Dave - do you wanna have a look into that perhaps?

the pipe is round not flat thats the difference

replacing that squashed pipe is an absolute mega mod...i did mine with the bigger FMIC while the car was stock and it gave me a figure of 111.3kw/atw... it was unbelievable after all the other mods came in...

the difference:

NEUSPEED pushes the envelope with a special high flow intercooler pipe that flows 20% more efficiently than stock. The stock pancake pipe flows 355cfm at 25"of water on a flow bench. In comparison, the round NEUSPEED pipe flows 426cfm at 25"of water.
