I have a hyperflow FMIC on my scooby. There was a small hole in one pipe where the bonnet latch was cominglooseand hitting it. I removed the pipe and had the hole welded with a strong piece of aluminium. I refitted the pipe and made sure the jubilee clips were holding the pipes together. I took the car outfor a spin and covered 10 miles no prob. I hit a bypass dropped itdown to 4th gear from 5th and while accelerating it died on me. I waited 30 mins and it did turn over but spluttered and died. Do you thinkI connected the pipe incorrectly? Had to have it towed. Enbarrassing as ..any suggestions appreciated

 

Just look under the bonnet it will be apparent if the pipe has come off or split somewhere.

It would be pretty hard to put the pipe on wrong as it will only fit in 1 direction.

 

The pipe was fitted correctly, blue rubber plastic connectors reinforced with jubilee clips. Does the pipe have to connect metal to metal as I tried to make sure they were? Just hope I havent blown the Turbo, it started ok and was trying to go but just failed. Thanks for the reply

 

Fixed the problem. One of the pipes had come loose from its connection. Made sure they are secure. Car is running

 

Happy days
