As above went on the rollers at PE today and what a nice set of guy's and girl they have there!

Everything looked fine until.....



This happened!!!



No prob said Ian who was looking after my car, "ill go get one from the garage and get you back and running in no time"

Sorted it in no time and off on the run we went again. Top advice from him and will 100% be going back there once i get my intercooler off and in the bin becasue as Ian said "It's s£it!" (Dont buy autobann stuff!!!!)

TOP GUYS! THANKS

Did you end up with an identical replacement Y pipe or something a little better? That pipe is known to be crap and restrictive.

The pipe was the same one i got back but at a tenner it got me going


It was the intercooler that is from autobahn and would not let the air flow through very well, or keep it cool

hence why the pipe went. il stick to their hoses. no problems thus far.

I`ve also been recomended away from the autobhan by a reputable tuner, not had owned one myself though so can`t realy comment. Was told the hybrid (tube and Fin design) FMIC`s where much better.

I would Hold tight until you confirm 100% the intercooler is the issue here.

replace with silicone hoses samco etc
the original pipe is very restricted.

i have got a Autobahn88 fmic on my car and it made 435 horsepower with 480 torque so i cant see it being the intercooler that is the issue here.
