Dudes,

I have an issue with my pipes!

As you can see in the pictures this pipe has become disconnected and keeps popping out as it almost doesn't reach. I have no idea what it is or what it does :ashamed:...is it important and what can I do to make sure it stays put?

That's a breather pipe dude. It circulates hot oily air back into the boost circuit.

Thanks, I'm sure I could persuade it to get back in its hole but it doesn't seem very secure. Should it be?

not sure if one will fit as there's not much for it to grip onto on the telephone hose

Re-position the breather pipe as such so that it's 'pushing' into the air-filter telephone hose.

Alternatively, seeing as it's introducing hot, oily vapour back into the cold air intake (ie, not good), plumb it into a catch-tank.

Ok, thanks Mart, I think I'll just re position the breather pipe. I just wasn't sure if the pipe should be fastened in any way.

Thanks again

It's not fastened/secured as such mate, it's just a snug fit.

If it's constantly popping out though, that might also suggest a bit of heavy breathing going on...

Thanks Mart, no, I don't think the engine got any heavy breathing issues, It's just that at the moment the pipe doesn't quite reach. I'll have a mess around with the pipe and the pipe work brackets and persude it in!

Thanks

can i do that as i get a fair bit of oil in my intercooler pipes ,i think by blocking the tele hose hole up and redirecting the breather would help stop it , would i just add a t peice to the pipe that allready goes to the rocker ?
