There's no replacement for the best product:

Stump up the cash and buy the V2.2 80mm full bore tip with billet reducer for best results.

I think Creation Motorsport were doing this product too as a copy but it seems to have vanished from the market.

 

There is a badger TIP + velocity stack and k&n cone filter in the for sale section

Thank fook for that.

SFS or Samco are your best bets.

 

I have always though 10% is a stupid rule ok for a £10 meal but £100 = £10 for not much more work?

Wrong forum :?:

 

Theres a bit of history on these, 80mm throughout most of their length pipes.

There are 2 designs
a.with an aluminium billet/reducer
b.a pipe made without an aluminium reducer(the pipe itself reduces in diameter close to the turbo)

Ill summarise the way I think it went as follows.

Badger Bill guy developed a pipe with an aluminium billet/reducer at the turbo end.

Some companies started to clone this and BB ,probably rightly ,got a bit peeved .

At the same time,the "cloners" also started to introduce an all silicone version.This version had no aluminium reducer at the turbo end .It merely had a silicon pipe that narrowed at the turbo end.(It was also cheaper to make)
At this time BB opinioned that the all silicone pipe was a pos.
The only "good" big TIP was the one he supplied.

Time passed
BB now supplies the two designs,he reckons the all silicone is now ok ,but the aluminium billet is the ultimate .(say £30-50 more for billet version).
I believe the BB versions are 2.2 for the aluminium and 2.3 for the silicone

To complicate things a little BB made some arrangement where he supplies his original aluminium pipe both himself and thru one of the cloners (S+S) maybe ,not sure .

Creative motor sport or cms.. Mondo got an aluminium billet pipe from ..It didnt fit very well
If you check them out on ebay or their home site,there isnt much difference in price between either design but after Mondos experience, I certainly wasnt going for a billet one of theirs.

I went for a cms all silicone jobbie..about £100 fits fine but..like quite a few others the big TIP can cause surge .
Im in the process of getting that corrected by Wak atm .

 

The previous owner put a Creations Motorsport one on my 225 along with a lot of the other hoses including those from the intercooler, from the invoices he did it prior to the remap and that was in 2014. From what I can see these have lasted very well in fact look like new and I have had no issues with the larger hoses or TIP collapsing so they will stay on until I have an issue as I am not planning any further engine upgrades. From memory the prices for the Creations MS stuff wasn't cheap but in comparison to BB it was obviously good value.

 

Has anyone tried one of these? Great price im tempted....

wouldn't go near that !

but its your money ..... my advice is stick with a known/proven brand, pay once and do it properly.

i got a badger 5 last year, no fitment issues and works a treat, well made and does what its supposed to do. job done.

That's not really much better than OEM. You pays your money, you takes your chance - my advice is to follow up on Delta4's link as it's basically an all-in one induction system for people too lazy to make their own AND at a discounted price. It's not optimal but it beats 95% of people on this forum's induction set-ups and 99.9% of Audi TT owners set-ups.

 

Got this, by any chance?
