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?

What size is the GGR up-pipe?
