About a week ago I noticed a loss in power and did a visual inspection of my turbo/ intercooler piping. In doing an "after winter" checkup I came across a coupler that look like it had a rough winter. It was a lower one that connected directly to the intercooler, so it saw some cold winds, ice, snow and lots of water this season. But I visually saw no cracks all the way through
Instead of even wasting time on a BLT I hit up Extreme Psi for 2 uncut 12" sections of 4 layer couplers, so I could cut to fit since 3" seeks too short to me I did 4" couplers and all new T clamps. Got it all today and been busy for a couple hours installing it all.
Heres what was lurking on the back side!
Just goes to show that something this minor goes a long ways on these cars! Do your BLT's and visual inspections after cold winters and hot summers and you will stay running a long time!
Thanks DSMT for giving me the power to diagnose this through just reading alone!
