A bad thing to see in your engine bay

After much discussion, we've agreed that this is probably a bad thing for Dave's turbo kit. His complaints of a boost leak might be related...

JB Weld and a plastic cap. And you can wiggle it.

Discuss.



PS - I told you, Dave. Sorry.

No. Not Dave from Accolade. I will keep his identity a secret to protect the innocent. Maybe he will come forward.

Nothing really. I just told him I was going to have to start a thread about it.

Um, the cap doesn't wiggle. The whole pipe does. The JB Weld ain't holding too well. I'm just waiting for him to be running full boost and have that sucker rocket through the hood.

Yeah, he's VTA and running fine, amazingly enough.

two weeks ago I had a cat in my engine bay. It took an hour and 1 can of tuna fish to get it out.
