Check all the pipes are connected together properly and all the clips are nice and tight. Also check for any splits in the hoses

im just not sure where to look for the rubber pipes? i know the main intercooler pipe running up the left of the engine bay when your looking at the car, other than that not too sure where to look?

Yes that's the inlet pipe from the intercooler going into the engine, I think the other pipe is underneath that pipe. I think u can see the piping if you look under the drivers side wheel arch lining or you could remove your front bumper, then u will see better
