Started to do some work on the car tonight to resolve some boost issues... Leant across engine to get to something and put a tiny amount of pressure on one of the top hoses...
result pipe snaps off and sprays my arm with seriously hot water...
Now in lots of pain and never been burnt so bad... No t-shirts for a while
be carefull with phase 1 header tanks.

Yep, best not to touch them at all, unless absolutely necessary. They are very fragile, and usually break when you least want them to.
Hope it didnt burn too bad
Forge do Alu ones for about £155, or u cud make one youself...

Ouch, hope it`s not 2 bad.
JGM is correct the newer 1`s can be used, I replaced mine about 18 months ago Can do brackets to accomodate them if any1`s interested.

My first one snapped where the pipe comes out and goes to turbo, then when i was refitting the next one the small pipe on the rad snapped off [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Ended up going through 3 header tanks as they split on the seam... 4th time decided to get a brand new one from subaru and get a 12 month guarantee for it...
However, when you gonna fabricate some ally ones david

Yeah, I am on my third tank too: first one blew open at the seams (steam from bonnet vents at traffic lights ) and the second one the turbo hose came away.
These little g1ts get very fragile after a few months.
I too now have a brand new one from Subaru with a 12 month warranty.
