Intercooler Pipes Blow Off

[hayden49]

when you put the stock cooler back on did the new whistle go away?

I have blown 2, one was the driver's side clamp had gradually become looser and the pipe came out, once i got it back in & tightened them they were fine. The 2nd was last week, but this was the one from the turbo that was a real bastard to get back in. Got it back in and since then the car has decided it wants to boost up to 14 or 15psi*, changing the mbc has no effect either so I'm wondering what the hell is going on. My car is at the workshop all day tomorrow for some finsihing off work & heatproofing, and one of the things is the boost control function of the wolf so hopefully everything will sort itself!

* While this sounds good, if I held it, maybe it will go higher than that, but my engine is standard & the bulk power from the turbo would make it go "pop". 13psi is in my sig, but I run 12 to make sure everything stays alive.

evil_weevil go see Nathan at Grey Imports in Annandale he is pretty good at sorting out boost leaks, has a few tricks to sort them out
