vrs boost hose 90'

Featured Replies

The boost hose off the intercooler keeps coming off. I've had it come off 3 times, then I had a new one fitted 4 weeks ago. now its off again. it's the 90' one that is horizontal then come vertical, just behind the drivers head light. When its on the car feels slower(might just be me), then it comes off, not all the way, and car pulls through the revs so quickly. When its like this it does soot more. I asume car is standard. Only had it 9 months, its a my04 with 72k.

Why does it keep coming off?

What can i do?

It keeps coming off as the design is poor. Easy fix, cable tie round each end of the pipe, then link those two ties together with another two cable ties.

better fix 4 self tappers big massive ones with a bit of silicone on the end, screwed right into the intercooler will never pop off again

Yep. The pipes just slighty off. Car feels lot quicker. Traction control is doing more work. Car feels like it has more torque and top end, althoughmore laggy bellow 1800rpm.

This doesn't seem quite right.. 3 pipes in quick succession and the car runs better with it leaking.. Suggests to me the car keeps popping those pipes for a reason? but god knows what as your surely loosing boost?

well in theory with a loose boost pipe to be running quicker is impossible...

Samco cost £110 dealer price £90 but is rubbish
