OK so my old intercooler and pancake pipes where knackered cause the clips had worn and the metal lugs on the pancake pipe had broke, so i replaced with the SFS intercooler and pancake pipe set. The SFS pancake pipe is bigger then the original which made it hard to refit the o/s splash guard that joins the undertray, but none the less i managed to get it in.
My issue is i still have a boost leak from the pipe that joins the plastic pipe on the intercooler itself (pic 4 where it joins the black pipe). Just on engine idle if i put my hands around the join, i can feel air coming out which iam guessing shouldnt happen as its loosing the PSI there........any ideas ?
Really pissed after spending £250 and iam not better off then before, if anything iam loosing more boost, cars smoking more and i feel like iam down on power more so then the old vag leaky hoses.
