    looks identical to the forge one I've got installed, probably no difference whatsoever - with forge you pay for the name a lot of the time.

    I'd say go for it, I've bought a few things from those guys before (braided lines and caliper adapters) they're pretty quick with delivery and great comms. Ask them to give you a price without VAT though, that'll knock another 20% off.

    Its pretty much the GST in Europe. When shipping overseas, it's not applicable.

    When I hade my Polo, the TIP freed up the engine abit more at higher RPMs, and added to the turbo spool sound.
    The GTI ran out of puff before the redline, but with the TIP, pushed a little harder.

    If you buy that TIP off ebay they'll just post it out to you and you will pay tax you don't have to pay, if you ask them to give you a price without VAT (because it's going outside the EU) which at the moment is at 20%. Obviously it doesn't work with private sellers or used goods.

    I noticed no difference whatsoever...because I changed it whilst having the tune done and clutch changed apparently it makes a significant difference with a 2.5" downpipe though - that's the next step
