Glad you're enjoying it dude :afro:

I've just replied to your email about that charge pipe, and when you see the price you might consider trying to find a suitable replacement O-ring instead!

The ibiza setup is different to the golf. The compressor pipe points down towards the sump, under/round the engine and into the intercooler. The one in question is probably only 45 - 50mm diameter.

Replacing the o-ring is an option, just remember the lug on that one side of the metal shaft was worn though so it might go again so keep an eye on it for leaks

yeah it looked weird when I stuck my head under one yesterday (father-in-law has a 130 sport)

New pipe it is then if the lugs are worn as it will only continue to blow off (or will do eventually)  :sad:

Also noticed all the valves for the N75, and EGR sit in a box on top of the drivers suspension turret  :undecided: strange setup indeed but then I guess its pushed for space
