That's a lot of money spent there!

Glad you've persevered with the car though dude - great to see it's back on the road 8-)

:? Really odd to see the original intake pipe from the intercooler was steel, rather than aluminium :?

If it looks like jobby and smells like jobby it probably is jobby!

Ooft that's bad that the silicone hose has split like that!
:? it does look like it was a bit thin...

Was it just some generic cheap unbranded silicone hose, or was it a decent one?
