Ok, to save starting another thread, I will just add on to this one  :smiley:

Is the pipe that the arrow points to, likely to cause a boost problem if it leaks. It comes from the charcoal canister I think.

Thanks

Isn't that a fuel pipe?

Is it? There is a valve connected to it I presume a NRV, which has a pipe going to the carbon canister

Maybe not then. If its a vac pipe and it's broke then yes it could be causing your power loss.

OK guys, try these  :smiley: This is the where the pipe originates from

and here it is from a little further away

and here is another just for clarification with my finger on the valve that connects the pipe in question to the pipe that goes to the carbon canister


Thanks

if you follow that pipe it goes back to your TIP. It has one way valves in line so won't create a boost leak but could be leaking under vacuum

Do you have any fault codes?

I checked today and I don't have any fault codes at all.

I looked at your "carbon canister delete" thread and seen that you blocked off the part going to the tip, but mine seems different because I can't see how it goes back to the tip. All I see is that it goes underneath the inlet manifold and carries on down below somewhere, unless I have missed something  :undecided:

lookin at the pipes that looks all wrong, that pipe you have arrowed should be connected to the throttle body with a T piece and the other side run up toward the firewall and into the TIP, looks like someone has either done some DIY  :laugh: noticed the blue silicone going into a black pipe is that for a boost gauge?

take lots more pics of the bay from close and far because it looks like someone has connected pipes into things that shouldnt be from the pics I can see  :huh:
