Ive noticed recently that the G isnt pulling as well as it use to :-\ , so i went for a look under the hood and found that the boost pipe between the charger and IC has got a split in it!!
Im guessing you cant buy these parts new anymore,
so does anyone have a spare one knocking about or knows of a decent replacement part??
Could i get away with a aftermarket blue silicone hose??
Also what sort of temp would be running through the pipe?? Under 170 C??
Any help or advice would be great ;D
Cheers in advance!!

people tend to use 45-deg silicon elbows. temp wont be an issue

awesome thanks very much!!
Cant wait to get my boost back ;D
-
use mr silicone off of ebay top quality products, low prices and the postage is really fast mate i swear by him

failing that I have a spare OEM one, its not split all the way through but it starting to show signes of going so it might get you another few thousand miles. Drop me a pm if you want it. Fiver delivered or something?

Does anyone know the I/D of said boost pipe??

Thats expensive and if you run toothies i dont think it will fit as its not long enough,

I think I paid 7 quid delivered for my 45 bend for that section. Derby performance hoses , give em a ring always cheaper on the phone.
