Thanks for the advice so far guys!!!
Xrsist: I dont think it has sucked-in yet? I do plan on increasing the boost, plus with the addition of a POD increasing airflow its probably only a matter of time though. I have felt the rubber pipe after an hour or so of driving and it gets fairly warm and soft.
HPI have a project car the same as mine and there's was closing in at .85 Bar, which is about 12 PSI. This caused the inlet temps to rise and the ECU started to retard the timing - something I want to avoid.
Someone [on these forums i think] said that it shouldnt be replaced with something that is NOT flexible...is this a real concern?
Thanks again, I appreciate it plenty
