Inlet/Charge Pipe fail
The inlet pipe popped off last night at a trackday at knockhill
pushed it back on but after 1 lap off it popped again Trackday wasted still time for an upgrade The pipe broke at the neck is this were they all go ? I have popped a Jubilee-Clamp (hose clip) round it so it cant pop off till the upgraded metal pipe arrives. Last edited by Mark 1M; 08-17-2016 at 04:52 AM.. |

The charge pipes fail. More so on the N55's than the N54's though. Are you running a tune?

I waited 4 years to change the charge pipe, which costs less than a track day . . . It was in the back of my mind every time I went to the track. I was lucky and never had a failure. I am now running a tune, so it was an absolute necessity.
