Sooo, on the way to Canberra today I gave it a bit of the lead foot and pop no more power.
The symptoms explain to a tee that it could be the intercooler piping has popped off.
Not able to idle runs like shit when forced to, black smoke billowing out, and it sounds kinda like a suby when I hold throttle to 1k 2k.
So now I'll be checking the intercooler piping. This will be my first time so I'll just be checking the fmic and trace the pipe to where it goes.
Is there anywhere else I should look if I don't find anything?
Yes I have googled.
Thank you
