FPR Pipes
« on: 20 February 2012, 21:50 »
right the kind of nylon coated pipes all around the FPR where the boost gauge lives and all around that side of the inlet manifold are a flaking brittle mess as i found out when i fitted my gauge the other day :-/ what size are the tubes and is ot gonna cause much of an issue if i leave it for a while?? my gauge shows 16 psi and drops back to 12  :shocked: can those tubes cause boost leakes or not?

hmmm just fitted boost gauge to mine and my pipes are quite perished, i have some 4mm silicone pipe left over will it be ok with the heat i thought that pipe was covered in that material to protect from the heat, but if silicone will be fine i will change my perished pipes for the silicone.  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
