Went for drive up the road this afternoon to get some dinner, on the way home I home I managed to blow an intercooler pipe off. I wasn't trying that hard, was probably somewhere around 14-16psi. Wholly hell didn't it go off with a bang, sounded like a bomb went off, also happened to occur right out the front of the local Police station :shock: :shock: As I cruised to a stop on the side of the road, I thought here we go, I was expecting a heap of cops to come out guns drawn. Hmm bit of a bummer and not a tool on board.
So give the lovely wife a call, explain what's happened tell her to come up and get the dinner to take home, also get her to grab the 1/4 drive socket set and a tin of silicon spray. A few minute later she turns up and takes dinner home, I put the pipe back on and checked the other clamps and a few of them were a bit loose. Anyway it drove better on the way home, blew less smoke and made less noise, so I'm guessing it must have been leaking a bit.
As a result I just bought a set of these off evil bay which will hopefully solve the problem long term.
