Check your boost pipes

[TuxMan]

After a week checking the car over ,i found another issue !!! the boost pipe that runs from the front turbo along the bulkhead has been fitted too close to the aircon compresser and has been rubbing in the top alan key bolt !! more lost boost pressure (along with loose turbo and manifold)begining to think the car was assembled by a monkey !!

Now I'm think I understand what those welds are on my boost pipe!!!

I've got some welds on the ally pipe that runs across there and I could never work out why it would be welded at that point!! Maybe it went the same way and was repaired?

Not sure I remember having a hole in the boost pipe - could have been spotted when it was i for service or something I guess...
