Fixed my boost leak a few days ago. Popped off straightaway on drive home. I take a look under tonight and see this:
First thing I thought was that aint moving. Loosened lower hose off and spent about 10 minutes wriggling it free haha, was so relieved it came out, I could have just stuck it in reverse but I couldn't be bothered to take the car off axle stands etc.
Used cable ties to hold the pipe in place while tightening up the clip as it seemed to push itself loose every time, didn't picture this but there was literally so many haha.
How it is now: held on okay on the drive round the block, will get jubilee clips for lower pipe tomorrow and hopefully my new boost pipes arrive soon, these are shagged! Got a 50mm bore aluminium pipe and two demon tweeks boost connector silicone pipes which were £22 each!!
I'm hoping the new boost pipes will solve my boost leak for good, pretty sure air is coming out of the sides of the pipe that rubbed against the driveshaft, there's no visible ones but I'm sure there is.
Also, how long should I let the car warm up/down for with a turbo? I've started to hear people mention this and I've not heard about it before, my turbo was still pretty hot about an hour after a ten minute drive home.... I'm guessing this is down to the fact there was no pipe from the intercooler and it was taking in standard air?
