unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 5m 21d Posted 05/12/11 10:52 PM Share Posted 05/12/11 10:52 PM (edited) typical, I had the same happen on mine with 12,000kms on the car. Ford part is rubbish, grab a re-inforced silicone one and while you are at it get some better hose clamps the factory ones are rubbish. My tuner replaced mine for nothing. If you have the $$ spend $90 and get the elbow and joiners from Process west, but if you need the car now give Mick and Bel a ring and see if they have some around the workshop and sling them some $$ Edited 05/12/11 10:53 PM by unclewal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Donating Members 1,171 Member For: 15y 5m 24d Posted 06/12/11 11:53 AM Share Posted 06/12/11 11:53 AM Just get Mick to check the tune after you replace the part. Otherwise, drive it around for couple 100kms without pumping too much boost through it to allow the ECU to reset itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
