Hi, as stated in the title.

I have a rather big hole in the S bend type pipe going from what would have been the intercooler going to the turbo (the one near the drive shaft). The hole occurred due to me and a friend putting in a front mount intercooler, but it pushed the pipe back too far and it has been rubbing on the drive shaft over a certain amount of time.

Does anybody know of a temp fix for this, and also, what pipe I am actually talking about and what code number/name the pipe is to buy a new one.

I would post some pictures but can't really get a camera in there until I get it up on a ramp.

Also, could this boost leak have an affect on my car taking a few seconds longer to start every time I start it up?

Thanks in advance.

Barney.

Its a rubber 90 off the turbo

Nothing you can do really except buy a new one and i belive they are circa £100!

I also did this

And it goes

Turbo to intercooler to inlet manifold

Thanks for the reply, however, the hole isn't in a 90 degree bend, it's in like an s bend shaped silicone/rubber pipe. I will try and get a picture of it tomorrow

Pretty sure it goes

Turbo

90 degree silicone

Metal 90 degree long piece

Then a silcone that goes to the intercooler

Its been a few years so i may be wrong but im pretty sure :/

Is it a pd130 vrs?

Yup that seems about right mate

 

As long as it's not the silver pipe I should have the pipe you want.

Cheers for the replies, I will have a better idea tomorrow when I can get under it and have a proper look as to which pipe it is.

Hi, it was the s bend pipe coming from the bottom of the turbo which had a hole in it, but not to worry now, iv had a new one fitted all in for 20 quid, so I'm happy . Thanks anyway guys.
