Car hasnt always been boosting correctly, however going up a bank tonight and put my foot down a bit and the car held 1 bar for a good while, until i lost all power, managed to limp home and as i thought had blown boost pipe off. Suspect this may have been leaking for some time - so hopefully be a lot better once i get it back on.

was quite interesting, first time ive gave it a bit stick till ive had the exhaust done to be honest, at first was worried, but then when i look at the afr and noticed it sounded like a dentists drill i guessed a pipe had come off. Hope i dont end up with this saga, plenty of storys of people blowing them off every other day, ill just have to make sure i get it as tight as i bloody can this time

I limped mine frmo the BP on the roundabout to Santa Pod, trying my hardest to keep it off boost whilst keeping pace with everyone else. Nightmare. I used to have problems with the hose on the outlet on the intercooler aswell.

buy some mikalor clamps. My astra used to pop hoses for breakfast lunch and dinner till I got some proper clamps on.
