Why you need a hard pipe kit

[ScuttleRX]

cos otherwise you get a hole and miss a day out racing porsches, ferarris, tvrs, dodge vipers, etc. Not that im bitter.....

might be a bit easier to see...brightness is a bit funny

Gutted for you mate. Its not that clear on the picture, but has the pipe just cracked or melted? And which pipe is that?

Yeah sorry pics are a bit hard to see, looked ok on the camera. I think popped is the best description , come off the throttle in 5th when I crossed the line and it made a huge almost slurping/popping sound...

Its one from turbos to intercooler, perhaps 1.5 miles of WOT heated it up enough to go pop?

Maybe when you backed off the throttle you had a back fire in the manifold/plenum before the throttle was completely closed and it back up pressure into the turbo pipes?
what mods are you running?

Ah yes may have been it, pfc, downpipe/de-cat/exhaust, induction cones, and water/methanol injection.

hmmm, could the methanol mix have contributed to it maybe, caused the back fire?

[ScuttleRX]

boost is a bit more than normal too, about 0.9 bar, think it was creeping over this a bit on the 5th gear section

Sorry for being a dumb ass, but whats WOT?  :xconfused
