Re: Help with part please

There's a fair chance there is another crack in the turbo pipes. Can you get a better picture?

It's the intake pipe from the air box to the intake manifold. It it's split it needs replacing straight away as every time you give it full throttle it will just be collapsing and giving you no power and lots of smoke as you describe.

I don't think it is fella, from the pic it's a smaller pipe thats above the air intake.

Oil return breather thingy.. can't remember the name.

Re: Help with part please

I'm pretty sure it is. Look at the pic. The pipe is about the same diameter as the oil filler cap! Better pic here:

The pipe comes from the shrouding on the right hand side, up from the airbox.


Here's another pic. You can see the throttle body top right that the pipe goes onto.

Well I think I need to go and hide... Your right mate.

I dont think I've ever looked at that engine before! Your pic was a lot better.
