Hey, looking for the above as mine is damaged at the turbo end. Thinking about buying a silicon upgraded one but thought I'd see if anyone had anything for sale first standard or upgraded. Cheers Phil..

Personally if you're holding on to the car Phil is put on a silicon one. You'll get a better life span out of it for probably not much more than the original part price wise. Silicon ones are less likely to collapse too if you decide to gain more power ...

I would go with a JCW part rather than a silicone hose as it's hard rather than the flexible plastic found on an S

Cheers guys, I'll definitely be keeping it after the money I've had to spend on it to get it right �� Saw a silicon hose on ebay for £70 but its a unbranded one so might go that bit more for forge/samco one..

Ah ok, take it I should be able to get a part number from real oem and should be able to order through a dealer? Is a straight swap between the jcw and s? Cheers..

I just bought a rigid one from Minigenuineparts.co.uk . I got it two days after I ordered it. With p&p it cost £98. If you go onto the site and type jcw rigid intake pipe into the search bar it will bring it up.
