Title: Charge pipe!...what a B***H!
Post by: Big Tone on 14 April 2010, 07:59

Has anyone modified their turbo outlet - pancake, pipe? I was loosing boost from here (most Golf's probably are.) so replaced the charge pipe with the new "C" varient, and am still loosing boost, (oily residue coming from O-ring.

I dont really want to hack the Stainless pipe and fit a silicone reducer, just wondered if anyone had managed to sucessfully stop this leak.

(when I fitted the new charge pipe, it still had some play in it, so used PTFE tape to get a tight fit, but this is only a temp fix)

Comments appreciated.

Get an AGU chargepipe and rubber hose to pancake (06a 145 790 from memory).
It's a normal connection, ie jubilee clip or T-bolt. Why on earth they changed the design I'll never know.

Going to take the lot off on the weekend and see what I can come up with.

Failing that, its more money being swallowed by the Golf!
