TT-DEK Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 As above, and shit myself. Thought i,d blown both tubbies. Put my foot down a touch, (as you do) nothing there, WTF. Drove well without, but decided to go home and check it out. There, could see the clamps had come loose from mid pipe I/C, through the wing, BIG SIGH OF RELIEF!!. Put back together, out for test drive, WOW, seemed a little quicker?, maybe been loosing pressure for a while?, not now. :D IS this a common problem with these set-ups and vibration, pressures must be emmense??: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yep, common problem with the pipework blowing. Get some Mikalor clamps and hold them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I nearly died the first time that happened to me. I thought I'd blown the engine up. It's quite common after decatting a j-spec because of the raised boost level. That's when miine went - on the way home from the garage after getting the decat fitted.

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 mine went on the first test run, on a private runway of course, crapped it as I'd only had the car about 4 months. Pulled over and reattached then slowly rolled home to tighten it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 this has happened to me a few times. I've now invested in one of those mini socket sets from Halfords (so much nicer and easier than burning my arms re-attaching hoses!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
