Title: Boost pipe split!!! HELP!!
Post by: 1982mk1 on January 17, 2012, 12:18:27 pm: 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!!

Dave
