[Mk2] [Turbo] Berk flexi downpipe problem

[LuizeGT]

just fitted one but the flexi part of it is leaning on the smaller heatshield on the firewall. is anyone elses like this?

[Race Idiot]

Dont think anyone else has one fitted in the uk yet?

I think your best bet is to ask on one of the yank sites. It's a shame if it does as I was looking at these over the usual suspects.

Out of interest Luize, did you get the correct revision one? As i understand it Berk to one for rev1-2 and another for rev3 onwards.

[gtech]

At the present time only the Rev 1/Rev 2 version is available, Bryan is still working on the teething problems of the Rev 3 model, though I think its on the back burner at the moment.

Though you are Rev 2 are'nt you Lou ???? so should fit okay without hitting the shields........ Have a word with GTS Chris, sure he can sort something.

When gtschris pm'ed me he reccomended to get the rev3 version as it was going to go on a ct20, seemed at the time like they were available also.

[gtech]

Hmmmm odd that, I talk to Bryan at Berk Tech on a frequent basis, and he was telling me the Rev 3 one is'nt ready yet.....will have a word

[TheRoadWarrior]

GTS Chris's page for the downpipe has a drop-down to select rev1/2 or rev3 version.. i assumed it was available already.

I might consider getting one at somepoint, am yet to hear of any feedback on them tho..

[C50]

i would love to have one

[LuizeGT]

just uploading a pic. its deffo a rev1/2 one as mines rev1. cant see any way it can be played with atall, its the physical width of the flexi part thats the problem, the pipe work is perfectly fine.

its awsoe though!! so chuffed i went with it, strong stuff

[LuizeGT]

mmmmmmmm



touching,

[platmatt8]

Do you get a new turbo and o2 sensor gasket with that gts chris kit?

[LuizeGT]

no dont get those gaskets but do get new exhaust nuts and bolts also new exhaust gasket and support bracket

[platmatt8]

Did you buy new ones? If so where from and how much?

[Driftlimits Performance]

Just fit a rev3 one today, was spot on, quality far exceeds anything else available to us at the moment

Had a good inch between it and the heatshield

[LuizeGT]

the quality is fantastic, really recommend them. its not the exhaust pushing it cos that pic was taken before i bolted it back to the exhaust, bolted it up in hopes that it would pull it away but hasnt.

will have to see if its going to vibrate but i think it will

[Driftlimits Performance]

bend the heatshield

[LuizeGT]

yup, think i will

[TheRoadWarrior]

Perhaps check your engine mounts too Luize, perhaps they've got a little old are are sagging?

[mr2nut123]

bend the heatshield

On mine i've simply taken the 3 screws off this little metal heatsheild bit but there's firewall material/cloth stuff behind it. Will this be ok with it off as it won't go back on without making an awful rattle noise lol

[mr2nut123]

Also, here's my experience with fitting this downpipe. Quality of the kit is top notch but there's clearly at least 2 slight manufacturing problems already causing extra unnessary work..
