Ijustwantaphoon Member 5 Member For: 12y 11m 14d Posted 19/01/12 04:25 AM Share Posted 19/01/12 04:25 AM hello,first post.I figure intercoller piping questions belong in intercooler workshop?im a recent ford convert over from the general, bought an BA mk1 XR6T just over a week ago, having a few problems, wich I expected with a modified car this age.now....car is modified in the form of:JPL intercooler stage 2 (never heard of them...receipt came with car)green siemens injectors (receipt from C&V in Car $700)SCT flash tuner (receipt with car C&V + tune)has a "bolt on" performance looking exhaust not standardF6 airbox (recepit in car)K&N Filtermy mate also reckons the turbo not original, has finny number on it and looks newer than everything in the engine bay.braided oil lines with inline filternow....when I purchased the car none of the above was mentioned in the ad, just said "has work done"turns out the guy I bought the car off only bought it months prior with all this done...had no clue.car was poorly maintaind by the guy I bought it off, obviously having no respect as he didnt outlay all the cash for the mods.clunking suspensionrear diff crookturbo bolts loose etc etcnow my problem is:if I give it a gutful, keeps blowing intercooler pipes off, originally the rubber one from the throttle body to the crossover was completley destroyed, when I picked the car up... I was like wow this is disapointing... only when I got home (4hr drive) and poped the bonnet I relised it was getting no boost.. ordered new genuine part, doest seem to fit, corectly/ easily?ose clamps end up jamming on the throttle body/ doesnt look right?one end is like SQUARE CUT...the other end is tapered??? doesnt sit right either way?so then I just fited a piece of blue silicon pipe I had, I dont like it but I cant get the genuine one to sit right, so I did the clamps up real tight sweet, checked the others tight...test drive.. got boost! for about 20 mins... then put my foot down to show my mate what the car goes like......POOOOOOFT...... blew the other side off....what the hell is the go? its running std boost... im only basing this on the tune in the SCT wich is only a 98 octane tune/ no psi setting?the cross over pipe looks dodgy too, not very secure? is thi common?! is so annoying....

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 5m 5d Gender: Not Telling Posted 19/01/12 04:52 AM Share Posted 19/01/12 04:52 AM Take it down to a reputable tuner and get them to throw it up on the dyno to see whats happening should cost to much $50/80/100 bucks no more. Then you will know where your at. But probability is that you will need money to fix this, or at least get it running properly, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound like a very good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
