Hi guys,

I started to get a slight boost leak last night, so took her apart this morning to find my turbo top hose has split where it joins to the turbo itself. Its not fixable.

Does anyone know where i can buy a silicone example? or a second hand original?

I have had a look around but no one seems to do one for the earlier V1 & V2. Its a 90 degree jobby with three smaller outlets on the curve of the neck.

any links or advice appreciated

 

Can you get a photo of it?

 

It looks like this, as you can see its beyond repair:

 

It was giving off a whistle last night under boost, and not as much chatter through the air filter so it must be because this crack opened up

 

Heres one:

I'm assuming you have a top entry TD05?

 

And a new one:

thanks guys

PieHole that looks similar but it look like it only has one smaller outlet rather than three, but i will message hime to ask.

 

Yeah I noticed that but you cant see that side in his photo!

 

lol yea cheers buudy, was worried i wouldnt find one, not many V1 WRX's around now apparently

 

Be carefull I had this problem twice.once on the other side to were yours has give way and the secondhand one I bought off eBay split with in a week and a half. the rubber gets hard over time and the temp of the turbo destroys it.I ended up buying a new one from japimport carparts.received next day.and still like new its a massive difference the new one to the secondhand used one it cost £30 posted for it but I may as well of just paid for the new one in the first place.hope this helps you mate as you will just end up spending again soon for it just put the bit extra and get it new belive me wish I did.my new one has been on 7 months and still solid.if I was you I would go straight for the new one saves you all the trouble. hope this helps you out .
