Default If i upgrade the TBB do i still need the APR bipipe kit???

this might sound stupid to some of you...but i am new to this.

I got a great deal (thanks jate) on chips (x-chip) and exhaust (APR) so i upgraded. I also upgraded the valves (to 710Ns). I couldnt get the TBB out yet (i have a samco TBB that i want to replace the stock one with)......but do i still need the APR bipipe kit???

Thanks...i hope you people take it easy on me.....

Default the bi-pipe goes in place of the tbb........

it's a more expensive more more complete solution to tearing tbb's. 1 or the other.

Default samco hose is way more durable than stock

anyway if you already have a samco, the APR bipipe looks pretty expensive at 350; (BTW ECS Tuning has a deal on apr pipe with a set of free 710's) But its a permanent solution to the design. Im not sure how long the samco will last. I personally went with APR, along with 710's and the butt dyno noticed considerable improvement. More charge air actually getting to the engine. If you run into questions installing, email me and I'll try to hep. Here is apr install manual.<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/support/bipipe_installation.pdf">http://www.goapr.com/Audi/support/bipipe_installation.pdf</a</li></ul>

Default You don't use TBB if you use bi-pipe. Samco should be ok.

I use AMS reinforced TBB 12K mi no probs with X-chip.
