Boost leak...

[T. Spark]

Hello

One of the problems I have atm (this is the smaller of two issues) is this :

Its come loose you say, well just unclip it and push it back in, an place the clip back...

Well err ive done that.. and its done it again? and again?! Any ideas of what to try next?

Rip the dam EGR system off and fit a larger more free flow system with a staight alloy pipe while using good clips and samco pipework to replace the rubber Seat stuff.

first get a new clip, make sure it's the right one there are 3 similar, fit clip and check that the two legs are parallel if not remove and take a fine file to the housing untill they are, then plug in pipe, O, and you might as well have a new o ring if you're going to the stealers

New clip you say hmm, whats up with that one lol! I have checked if the two legs are parallel and they were both in the designed space from what I could see underneath.

Going to try it one last time, take it all off give it all a good clean around the slipping area and try again... ggrr

Samco pipework usually cheapest from Forge or try RS tuning. Miklor clamps are brillent for high boost pipes which THIS place is quite good for stuff or just shop around ans an Allard EGR replacement pipe which Forge where ment to be making a copy of or just get one made yourself as it`s just a straight pipe with a plate one end.

The reason it keeps coming off is because the lug on the pipe will have worn. These hook behind the clip so if there worn theres no chance of it holding.

 

[devonmikeyboy]

Plus i expect he is running higher boost then what the clips where designed for as he has a hybrid turbo fitted now.

 

[Tom.]

Yeh i know bud. Think its running 1.8bar at the moment and the clips are prone to failing even on standard cars. Really poor design.

 

[devonmikeyboy]

Plus it`s got T-Sparks driving to deal with....

 

[Tom.]

LOL, ive experienced his driving. Poor car doesnt stand a chance

Dont think anyone will be getting anything from Allards any time soon will they lol!

Might have to get in contact with Forge then and see if they do one...

 

[devonmikeyboy]

Nope since Allards have gone bust. I did mention forge or make one yourself not buy an Allard pipe.

 

[Ultra_Joel88]

local exhaust place that also does FMIC piping should do it - ring charlie at prospeed cardiff

please correct me if im worng, but i thought forge or someone had one of these kits for this pipe available, check out sfs, they do a full silicone version of this pipe

Get onto SFS T.Spark. See how many other Ibiza folks you can round up so when you speak to SFS you can tell them you have x amount of parties interested

Brilliant hoses! Even better are the billet connectors which mean i'll never have a problem with hoses popping off due to worn lugs.

I was so close to buying this, but then started reading all the Allard problems.........

Forge did mention a Leon EGR replacement, but its anyones guess as to how long that might take.....everytime I ask I just get told to 'watch this space'..

Allard still make the Power pipe under a different website name.

[devonmikeyboy]

Wouldn`t touch them mate.

fair enough m8 though friend of mine got one the other week without a problem, though I know you've had more dealing with them than most people.

 

[ChrisGTL]

Do they have a shop? Or is all done via online?

I might know a salesman who works round that area so I could ask him to pop in and pick a EGR pipe up.
