Charge pipe question?
« on: 14 March 2013, 19:05 »
Hi all, ok so my car is blowing its arse off once again! I've put one new downpipe to turbo gasket on....Still there. So I ordered two as a mechanic told me it could be badly warped on the downpipe due to age...Still blowing. I'm just wondering if the crappy AUM charge pipe could split on the o ring and make a blowing sound? It's really annoying me now. Has been like this for nearly 4 months!!!

I honestly don't know however I would highly recommend you change that standard crappy charge pipe to a AGU one. I think rio Gti is selling one in the classified section :)

I have a spare AGU charge pipe about somewhere if your interested?

I'd thoroughly recommend getting a Samco silicone charge pipe replacement pipe and Mikalor clamps as well, is a much tighter fit than the standard pipe than can become loose over time.
