Ok I have had a couple developed to loose the double 90 deg rubber pipe that fails from the rear
turbo to the intercooler.
I have managed to reduce the bends down to two 45 deg bends so reducing the change of direction by half but also eliminating a known fail point, especially on the bigger boost engines.
Mr Hollowpockets has fitted one to his race car and used it for a couple of meets I think and reported
it fitted well and has not failed so I am happy to get them made for anyone who wants one.
They are £25 which is the cost price, but the 2 new 45 deg boost hoses cost me around £40.. so just a warning before you order..

Cheers

Hi guys,

As someone who had burst 3 of the rear turbo hoses it was a must for me, so far done 7 races with it fitted and no issues, (my intercooler did burst though haha) these are the only snaps I have of the pipe but people can have a better look at silverstone next week.

It is a tight fit as the alloy part pretty much fills the gap between the turbo and intercooler, the only way to fit it is by removing the intercooler, fit the pipe with 2 x 45 bend hoses onto the turbo then fit the intercooler again, otherwise you'll never squeeze it all in with intercooler in place.

I have some heat wrap around the pipe and silicone as the exhaust is quite close on my one.

On a separate note, I removed that experimental carbon boost pipe as it was starting to deform with heat, stick to alloy! smile
