I have no boost??

tharaka · 03-08-2014, 01:00 AM

Was just driving down a normal road and then I felt the car shuddering a bit
And now I have no boost
I can hear a slight whistling sound from the turbos spoiling, but there's no induction sound or power
No check engine lights either.

This car is becoming a money pit

Have you tried asking it nicely for boost?

Are you running a tune?

tharaka · 03-08-2014, 06:02 AM

I have a Cobb tune
If my charge pipe came off, wouldn't I still hear induction?
Would it show a check engine light?
Thanks for your help! I'll check it out when I get home and have some more light

Depends, have you try push it all the way? Normally it will not detect a low boost untill you push it hard. Bring it in tuesday, and we can check it out.

I had a look tonight, the charge pipe is broken

There's a tiny little section broken right next to where the clip goes

Time for a solid charge pipe?

Ok guys, I need some advice

I'm looking into getting a new charge pipe, is it better to get one with the OEM clamp, or get one with silicon hose and clamps?

In my mind, the silicon hose is a better idea?

Oem clip is much more secure

Is it broken? It looks like it's missing the clip that holds it in place.

I have the clip in the boot, the actual rubber on the lip has a section broken so it pops off really easily, even at low boost

I can try get a better picture later today

What ever charge pipe you use, make sure it uses the factory clip and O ring.

tharaka · 03-09-2014, 09:45 PM

Thanks for the advice everyone!

I need to see if anyone has stock in australia so I can get this sorted out quickly
