Title: Steel intake pipes
Post by: framey on July 19, 2004, 02:37:58 PM
Hi all,
due to pretty crappy performance when hot, I think I\'m goning to try a set of hard pipes (filter box -> turbo\'s), to see if that helps.
I\'ve seen these a lot on the US ebay - bomz I believe, for around 50 bucks.

Anyone ever tried these?
Are they any good?
Can I get them as cheap over here?

I\'m thinking because it\'s a 92 the pipes may of got soft over the years and possibly are collapsing. I don\'t have a boost gauge yet but am in the final stages of choosing some new gauges. (water/oil temp & boost).

Cheers

What make are they Ian?

Are they "BOMZ"?

Seem to be plenty of those available. Are these one of the better fitting ones?

Thanks
