I'd be trying to clean the surfaces and reclamping with a new clamp.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up pulling up in a bus lane and got my tools out and re-tightened the clamp.I then got my flash tuner out and put it on economy. Boost goes lower than stock now, 1/2 a Bar. Bout 6 or 7 PSI. I felt the loss of power straight away but its better this way, Still rips up !Just thought I'd post the issue I had incase someone has a fix for it. Can that pipe be changed ?

Yes I had a look at the cooler pipes. The hot side was really warped. The cool side wasn't as bad. Where can I get the piping from. Will I need a tune ?

Any decent exhaust shop will be able to replicate the plastic piping. Get it bent out of suitable sized aluminium and change the rubber connectors to silicon joiners, should never come apart then.They give you a fright when the pipes let go huh!!??

Shouldn't cost much more then a few hundred.Cheers,Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
