Some shiny new bits

(1/3) > >>

DiscoCWK:
Removed the intercooler pipes today - the top one in particular was narrowed by around 3mm alround by the crud left from when the EGR was fitted. Removed the Intercooler and flushed it with parrafin (yuk)

I now have these nice shiny pipes:







Tweaked the fuel pump slightly and WOW what a difference! -my wife said she was struggling to keep up in her focus TDCi and there was little or no smoke!

The bottom pipe gets slightly warm, but the top pipe is ice cold with the standard (clean) intercooler!

AbyssDJ:
need to do it on ours to be honest, i reckon it could do with a good clean! need some new hoses though too, probably just save up for some silicone ones. our turbo hoses are a bit like balloons...

Range Rover Blues:
Shiny as it is that top pipe needs lagging.  Wasn't the one you binned covered in dense foam? otherwise with the bonnet shut the ippe will get warm and defeat the object of having an intercooler.

thats not much different to a non egr top pipe,thay are just a plain silicone hose

Oh & the intake pipe will be cold no mater what,

mines is ice cold after a run

DiscoCWK:
The standard top pipe is two short hoses and a black metal pipe and isn't lagged at all - I'd guess the shiny stainless steel pipes will dissapate the heat under the bonnet better than the old ones.
