Afternoon all.
I have done a fair bit of research to do with my pipes blowing off the intercooler and it seems the only way to fix it properly is to buy a FMIC kit which is very expensive, or buy a silicone hose kit from Samco, Forge or SFS. I decided to retain the OEM IC and buy a kit.
I had a word with SFS and it seems they no longer do the elbows for the lower intercooler pipe due to the sharpness of the bend, they only do a turbo to intercooler pipe with the restrictor on the turbo end removed (bonus). The EGR to intercooler pipe is the same with the pipe in one piece. I looked at the Forge kits which were cheaper than the SFS, but with all the discounts from being a member on here gives you; the SFS came out at the same sort of price. I opted for the SFS kit because i like the idea of getting rid of 4 of the potential troublesome connections and the smoother air flow.
The kit has been ordered and takes about 7 days to be delivered, when i fit it i will take plenty of pictures and let you all know if there were any problems along the way
