Thanx in advance for anyhelp

Try Grade A breakers , and others listed on here.
For std car OEM part is best, but most after market suppliers offer "better" items for around £100.
Don't go for one with too big a bore - the 43 mm IIRC std one is fine upto over 300 bhp, so I am told. Too big will make the turbo spool up worse / laggy.
Where is yours blowing? May just be the gaskets at manifold or turbo ends. If the flexi part of up-pipe, then yes, you need a new one unless someone can fit a new flexi bit??

My mechanic said it needs replacing so I guess the actual pipe is buggard and not the gaskets. Interesting what you say about a better pipe making it worse (laggy). Might go for a second hand OEM then. Would an upgraded one make a big difference in spool up? Im guessing once spooled up it will be faster tho?
