Replaced my up-pipe and turbo at the weekend and when putting everything back together noticed that the intake hose which runs under the inlet manifold to the turbo has worn and is very soft and has a small split in it, it doesnt leak because the split is where it slides onto the turbo, but obvioulsly it wants replacing and what i want to know is....

What kind of job are these and whats the easiest way to go about it?

Remove the inlet manifold? Or can it be done in situe, i also have injectors to do next weekend too... Is it easier to combine these jobs?



Thanks

 

You would need to take the inlet manifold off and then take some fuel pipes and injector rails out to do it properly. Or just cut it to pieces at each end , pull it apart and remove without disturbing fuel pipes and replace with silicone. Still remove the inlet though to make sure you don't damage anything.

 

you need to do it asp if that little split becomes a big split it det time BOOM NOCK RATTLE CLUNK

 

buy a samco or a perrin not a cheap copy as they just dont fit properly
