This happened to anyone before? Lol... Engine light came on yesterday and it's been in limp mode or not boosting as it should since that came on, could this be the reason why? Have it booked into vasstech on Wednesday but going to replace the filter tomorrow and see if that does anything

Forgot here's the pic

wow! That's not normal...

I know ! I have seen a picture like this on here somewhere before but it doesn't pop up very often lol

Seen that twice before on here. But they were running hybrid turbos IIRC. Exactly the reason I won't be running a normal filter once mine is fitted.

What is that red thing you have near ur engine?

I think so mate, maybe why it's done it

did your engine light come on and did it run like Hell too mate?

No mate but it sucked loads of ****e into the turbo and made the car smoke like hell

And that was genuine one but I am running a hybrid turbo

think it's sent mine into limp mode, well I'm hoping it has anyways, can't be forking out for another turbo. Going to replace it tomorrow see what happens

What happened is your car runs on Awesome.
Your car is too awesome and sucked in so much Awesome that the filter couldnt filtrate the Awesome quick enough then exploded from too much Awesome.

 

Awesome.

 

for real though its probably to do with pressure from the turbo. get a K&N or something.

Get that come I sent you the link to a while back

I did ask for extra awesome when I got it remapped !

Bit more info for you tom, my cone is bodge on to the plastic pipe for now. I will be getting a 80mm 45deg ally pipe soon and some more 80mm silicone joiners and fitting it correctly. But you have moved your battery yes? Should fit with out any chopping like me

Yeh that was the reason I moved the battery for when I got a cone, gunna try and get it sat as close to the actual intake as I can, will keep you posted on Instagram !

Mines just sitting there inside the bottom section of the airbox, going to get an 45 degree silicone pipe to get it looking a bit tidier though.
