Your bay is almost identical to mine now haha. One thing I noticed since fitting mine is it gets very hot which must affect/zap performance, thinking of heat wrapping mine but got other things to sort 1st.....namely my driveshafts next friday🤕
No way mate that’s class 🤣👌🏼 I noticed that too mate! I’ve also thought about heat wrapping it 🤔 probably worth it!! Damn mate that’s annoying! I had shaft issues too:(
Hi I have a focus st lump in my mondeo and I’m struggling to find bolt at the side of engine when I brought wasn’t attached only one I can see that’s sticking out a bit is like 6-8mm bold but don’t wanna undo wrong one
Yo! Isn't it bad that the pipe isn't 3' all the way to the turbo? Doesn't that hinder the effect and slows down the airflow considerably? Is the diameter of the thinner part still bigger than OEM? If not it's kinda useless IMO.
I completely understand your point, however the larger end will assist with more airflow, however it will be slightly slowed when entering the turbo and the smaller end. It’s very rare you find an intake pipe that maintains the same diameter throughout, as the turbo entry diameter will usually be smaller than the cone pipe dimensions (unless you’re running a massive turbo. I now own an rs3 and have an insane intake , the pipe is massive compared to stock, yet they still have a smaller end where the turbo sits, but performance is increased a great amount. I hope this helps. P.S I never bought the airtec crossover pipe for performance gains, aesthetics only, performance gains were a bonus
@@AutoBay thanks for the quick response! Okay, I understand. So is the smaller diameter part the same size as OEM since it needs to fit? Or is it actually slightly bigger still? I just don't understand why they just didn't make the last bit smaller in diameter instead of half the pipe you know? I've seen 3 inch pipes now that u mentioned it where only the really last part of the pipe is smaller. Do crossover pipes actually give a measurable performance gain?
@@drasx no problem mate, yes if I remember correctly the smaller part is the same size as the stock pipe. If I was being really anal I’d say the airtec pipe is a few mmm bigger as it’s a bastard to get into the turbo to cross over pipe. And to be honest mate it won’t make much difference, unless you had a large cone and turbo to cross over pipe to go with the large cross over pipe. Once tuned the larger pipes will be more beneficial, a stock turbo can only spool up so much depending on boost pressure
I do love the wisbech range mate, amazing looking parts! I’ve got a digital boost gauge to fit soon mate! And some little easy mods too, just some little touches of you know what I mean 👌🏼👌🏼
Just wondering.. The intercooler at the start of the video is bigger than mine but looks stock. Is the pre face lift one better than the face lift model?
Richard thomas they changed the design in 2007 mate, the directed the secondary vacuum line else where rather than going into the crossover like yours does
@@AutoBay yes must of moved it for some reason, can I ask you, have you had esp/abs come on with p0101 maf issue.No eml on though.my maf in same place as yours,checked all pipes for leaks all good,off to a&e motorsport tomorrow to pick a new maf up.
Did you struggle getting it to fit into the turbo to cross over pipe aswell mate? It was a pain in the ass getting it to fit properly, you may have to angle the mounting arm that’s attached to the pipe. I expect you’ve got a gap somewhere at either end of the cross over pipe causing your boost leak.
@@AutoBay a hour I was wrestling it on for but on to the standard turbo pipe have got a silicon one but I'm not even attempting that ... I'm going to take it to a garage to fit it then they will have to put the rest on properly lol
Just had the silicon turbo pipe fitted still no joy the crossover doesn't fit properly still... U can get it into the turbo pipe but just can't get the right angle on it to bolt in
Looking clean! Will share to my mates and their Instagram group so you'll reach your goal faster. Any plans on some BOV modification? I know you've got the turbosmart recirculation valve and it probably is the most optimal solution but I still reckon an open one to be more exciting haha Cheers, Niko
Thanks very much Niko! Really appreciate it, and I have a TurboSmart Recirc valve fitted on my car, it’s amazing. Blow off valves cause you to lose power and boost, Recirc all the way!!! 🔥
Yeah I just checked and ninja edited it hahaha. True, I figured so as well. BC of that I didn't change mine but I sometimes still think not to act wisely and just go for it. I guess there are better mods to be done. Why did you change your stock one? Because of the additional power you've put on? Cheers!
Got a ford focus Mk2.5 zetec tdci, thinking of giving it a few upgrades as it's not being as punchy as I want it to be, any ideas for starters? I was thinking of getting a K&N cold air intake for starters
Nice bro! Intake would be good mate, however it won’t really add any perforce on a disel (unless it’s tuned). Performance air filters are mainly beneficial at higher RPM, and diesels don’t rev high so the intake is never used to its full potential, however it will make the car sound great, and if you plan to tune it, then the intake will be perfect 👌🏼 possibly exhaust modifications? DPF/EGR delete?
@@AutoBay was thinking of those too, but seeing that I live in a country where the top limit is 80kmh, there's not much to drive around There are locations where i pushed up to 150 at most but margin of error was significantly reduced due to the lack of acceleration. Surely adding dual suspension with maxton diffuser in future as well, thanks for the advice and keep up the good work!!
Here my guy doing bitssss go on lad 😎😎😎😎😎
My bro 😎😎 appreciate it man!!!👌🏼

Trust me the oem pipe on the turbo sound mutch better then a aftermarket one
Nice mate im getting the cross over pipe in the next two weeks 👍
Nice one mate!! They look mint, what colour you going for ?
Hi I have a focus st lump in my mondeo and I’m struggling to find bolt at the side of engine when I brought wasn’t attached only one I can see that’s sticking out a bit is like 6-8mm bold but don’t wanna undo wrong one
Looking good 👍 really like your vids mate keep it up pal ❤️
Thanks very much mate, will do!!

Another great video lad av got a Wisbech v3 crossover still to go on yet but makes a big improvement on looks on the car what’s next for it mate ?
I do love the wisbech range mate, amazing looking parts! I’ve got a digital boost gauge to fit soon mate! And some little easy mods too, just some little touches of you know what I mean 👌🏼👌🏼
looks better a i will be get in one for my st now
A great upgrade for the engine bay 😎
Just wondering.. The intercooler at the start of the video is bigger than mine but looks stock. Is the pre face lift one better than the face lift model?
To be honest with you I’m not sure mate! I assumed they’d be the same?? The video might be deceiving though mate! I’m sure yours is the same size
I have pfl and I have two pipes going on to cross over.Yours looks only one for vac pipe clip on,other is blanked off already.
I’m assuming yours is a 2006 then mate?
@@AutoBay yes
Richard thomas they changed the design in 2007 mate, the directed the secondary vacuum line else where rather than going into the crossover like yours does

Yes mate very random to change it! And I can’t say I have mate 🤔 I’m sure e new MAF will sort it out! Good luck bro
Is that the satin silver cross over you fitted
Yes mate 👍🏼
Just fitted my Airtec cross over pipe it doesn't fit like yours can't bolt it down now I've lost boost only get a quarter instead of half

Why did you change your stock one? Because of the additional power you've put on?

I got mine with an induction kit mate, was sold as a set. And also the stock valve isn’t too good after a tune!
Looks smart 🔥
Thank you mate 🙏🏼

You wanna swap your mufful from the cross over to the turbo chang it to a silicon pipe for some more flutter
I’ve already done that mate 👍🏼 you on about the turbo to crossover pipe?
@@AutoBay ohh yh I ment that
