i have a boost leak (again), i believe it is the supercharger joint again
cannot remember how i tested for a leak last time... think i sprayed something on the joint and it made car rev more?

2 or so years ago i had a similar issue had it re-welded then and worked fine

my silcone tubing is reasonably new as well

barring me finding any obvious damage to pipework when i strip it down i am planning redoing the Charger to intercooler pipework like this:

just want to get a second opinion on the above, any think this is a bad idea? More restrictive etc?

Cheers,
Russell

I Can't see why that would be more restrictive.

That will be fine... you just want to get it into the 63mm pipe as soon as you can after the S/C outlet.

What bottom engine mount do you have, and has the top engine mount been chocked? Depending on what mounts you have, it may be cracking to excess engine movement when you come on an off the throttle.

thanks guys, just want i wanted to hear

top mount chocked and top mount area had to be fixed and re-welded a few years ago (can easy check again for anything obvious)

bottom mount is a Yellow Powerflex (sp?) one, took a group N one off it was too much for me, or my dash

first time it cracked I think it was due to top mount being damaged... causing excessive engine movement

pipework and silicone hoses are all very tight and isn’t much room for things to flex, this should sort it for now
fins on the intercooler aren’t looking great in the lower areas and I dread to think how old this pipework is now, lasted pretty well.

anyone using these straight Silicone Hump Hoses i see?.....

dont suppose you have used them?
looks like there is wires on outside
wouldnt they just collaspse?

i could fit them in elsewhere (i.e not near charger, very tight there)

Does someone know of any special or reinforced silicone hose for the charger outlet that won't partially collapse on idle?

Thats wat I got about 1inch gap , perfect pipe dont collapse in :-)


Does it do any harm it sucking it in?
