Default UP PIPE - Eh?

Going for an MOT + 90k service today & found that my up pipe was broken & needed replacing

It's been sounding a bit noisy for a while, so what effect in the real world would a broken up pipe have on the performance of PTMW! ??

Would it have contributed to poor starts @ SS2 with slow spool up?


Got myself a Janspeed one now & the car seems a bit livelier but M25/M11 in rush hour not the place to test it

Thanks to the guys @ Cool New for the work

if that leaks surely the turbo will not spin up with as much vigour?

Mine was leaking and did not get full boost until 4000rpm changed up pipe for GGR type and ported out headers myself and now get full boost 1.1 bar at 3000rpm 93 wrx .

What size is the GGR up-pipe?
