I\'ve just ordered some 65mm & 70mm silicon hoses from Chris at RE:Worx, tel 02392 831213. They were quite good value at £25, I needed a bit more than you require, so I\'m sure the bit you need would be quite cheap.

I\'m sure if you tell him what bit you need he can cut a bit the correct size and post it to you. I think that hose is 70mm, but check it!

I thought I might update u guys on this, I fixed the problem permantly with the greddy hard pipe intercooler kit and has been running sweet until last week, then i started dropping boost again I thought cant be, so I took all the pipes off and the plastic pipe that comes off the twinturbo outlet, found the original rubber coupling had a dirty great split in it where by the jubilee clip had rubbed up against causing the split. I repaired it , sweet the car runs perfect, it spools up even quicker then when i bought it, getting full booost 10 psi at only 2000 rpm, f**k me im having a hard time keeping the car on the road in this weather coz its so quick

Here is a diagram of where i found the 2nd boost leak

Blitzboy,

yo yo! how you doin ?

now my car is playing up, it boosts up fine on the first turbo then drops to 0.4 on the second ? i checked all the vaccum hoses took of the plenum ended up breaking the Double throttle control solenoid ! :reallymad

i have got some vaccum hoses i was gonna replace alot of the rats nest with.

all the intercooler piping seems ok ?

Any suggestions ?

Well the only way you can check the second boost leak i had was to take the piping and the coupling off to visually inspect it.
0.4 bar is only 5.8 psi which is less then safety boost, safety boost is 7psi anything less inducates a boost leak my man, if you are around next Saturday come over and i will check it for ya
