Evening all.
I want to change my original rubber turbo pipes to some hard or silicone pipes, can somebody recommend any in the UK.
Thanks in advance

Are you replacing the hot & cold side pipes?
If just the cold side then the Plazmaman is fine.
I wouldn't use a Plazmaman on the hot side, it is a fairly long hose that weighs close to 1kg.
The stock intercooler on the Ranger is plastic and that is a lot of unsupported weight to swing off a plastic connection.
I use alloy pipes on hot & cold.
Aluminium pipes are close to half the weight of rubber.
The hot side pipe is straight compared the the stock one and about 50% shorter, low down acceleration feels smoother.
I think someone from over your way purchased these and had them sent over.

I've used a combination of both Forefront Industries and Plasmaman - I used the Plasmaman silicon hose for the hot pipe going to the Plasmaman Intercooler and the alloy Forefront industries cold pipe from the intercooler to the throttle valve simply because I wanted a tapping for the boost gauge and you don't get one with a silicon hose of any type or make.
