Turbo Induction Pipe
Has anyone had trouble with their Turbo induction pipe coming loose?
Driving the other day, decided to get a move on…. No boost on the gauge and no familiar Darth Vader in the engine compartment.
On examination, as a non engineer, but having spent a great deal of time rebuilding classic and modern Italian motorcycle works of art:
1. the spigot is not deep enough for the jubilee clip to adequately clamp to.
2. The absence of a raised lip on the pipe to better locate and retain the jubilee clip.
3. replace these with retaining allen screws through the pipe.
4. the edge should be knurled to encourage the pipe to stay on, or:
5. the use of an aluminium elbow, there is plenty of give offered by other rubber sections of the pipe.
On driving without the benefit of a Turbo – good for these cold damp mornings, and still a very useable tool to surgically carve through the bends – most exhilarating. I will leave talk of 400 hp and NoS etc to the H%%fords neon light brigade – give me handling and usability every day.
On another note, whilst having my ECU exchanged for the latest type the map was modified to the latest type….. what a difference.
Have a good Xmas and keep the rubber side on the road.
