treated my self to a collins preformance dump valve yesterday, then tried with the help of a few friends to fit it. not good. the plastic pipe from the intercooler to the turbo has a tube which the dump valve fits on to via some rubber tubing. this snapped off in my mates hand, but it had been fudged in the past there was all super glue holding it on and an additional rubber pipe put in to strengthen the bond. gutted!
anyone got any idea how much 4 a new plastic pipe from ic to turbo?
judging by the foreign rubber tube this has reduced flow by about half so has the car been under performing?
any one know of any garages/breakers open over the weekend? preferably north west. car is a my95. stuff like this spoils long weekends.

If your car has been suffering because of some faulty piping (didnt the dealer pick this up when you have the car serviced? ) then the cheaper option would be to replace that pipe again.
