Yeah, thats a fair point on a NA car. But on a turbo charged car putting something like that (if it works) inbetween the turbo and inlet manifold (before or after intercooler) could make a masssive difference.
Its usually high intake temps on cars running high boost (more you compress air the hotter it gets) that causes pre ignition (detonation) and leads to a piston lunching itself. Especially on cars that have top mount "interwarmers" like Subarus, Starlets, Pulsars etc etc that arent as effiecient as front mounts in warmer weather.
How many brackets have I got in there eh?

Hmmmmm. Has the pipe come off the actuator or split? Whip it off and check! Other than that the actuator itself may have jammed closed?
Bloody cars eh Kerry? Jap stuff is supposed to be reliable as well!
Bet its good fun with 30psi of boost tho eh?

Fingers crossed pal! they are the only reasons I can think why it may be over boosting! Other than that the boost control solenoid may be dirty/faulty. They can be cleaned on most motors so give it a try!
Good luck
