Quite common for them to split. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rddrgn Member 8 Member For: 12y 1m 19d Posted 31/01/13 11:51 AM Author Share Posted 31/01/13 11:51 AM Hey guys,Thanks for the feedback. I did everything you guys proposed. In the end it was the Crossover (3 Inch to 3 Inch Connector)That conects to the throttle body. Half of the lip on the throttle body side split.My solution. I put in Blue Slicone Pipes and Decent Pipe Crimps with a Hex Bolt to tighten that don't snap.Only problem is I have moved the crossover aluminium piping on top of the engine. and until tomorrow my vacuum to the BOV is disconnected as it is to short.The reason I moved everything over a lil is to prevent blowouts.The Difference in performance. Well it use to perform like my standard 304 5 L VT Clubsport. when it was standard.Now it performs like well I sh*t my pants =) And thankyou for all your help. I also did the soleoid maintanance (Didn't do anything) I'm a bit worried nowI might have sucked up some crap with the hole in the connecter to the intake.Also I have a set of Coil Packs to replace (Original VDO) which will happen very soon as I bought them thinking it was what was wrong.But I get a BRRRRT and low power between 2800rpm-3200 rpm so I believe at 150000km its time to do it for good measureOk so guys for the next two days unfortuantely I can't reconnect the vacuum line to the BOV until im off work. Will 300-400km of driving without the vacuumline connected to the bov and it just free floating cause any damage. And also is my Turbo Glowing a light Red after a solid 10 min thrash fest for about 2-3 minutes when I park and let it idle normal? Im worried the filter might be blocked which feeds oil. I would rather remove the filter and just have a straight through line as I have an engine oil filter that should do all the work anyway.Ok guys . I'm officially converted to ford. Still a lil Expensive Daewoo fan because of my 383 stroker weekend car. But fark this xr6 turbo is nuts and its stock apart from a farty blarty sh*t exhaust someone fitted without a tune. Not bad got the car for $7900. Fark all great nick inside. engine bay looks new and the outside well needs a lil buf and the front and rear bars resprayed for $600 oh well at least they will be new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOV- I THINK no vacuum line will let it open therefore boost wont be held! Someone more smarter shoot me down if I'm wrong lolFORD VS HOLDEN!
