Make sure you rough the ends of the pipes up, or the rubber/silicone hose you're using will blow off under pressure.

Went to the 'ring with someone with a 20VT Rallye who couldn't understand why his shiny boost pipes kept blowing off.  :grin:

Here, have some emery cloth, make the ends not-shiny: problem solved. :grin:

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I found a hand swaging machine on site one day just chucked in a skip!Gave it a clean up and now all my polished boost/cooling pipes get a small swage on the end and it does the trick.


Anyway 300x38mm o/d with a barb on the end £15
