So yeah,
I was coming off the M329 junction onto the M4 earlier today and I changed down to 4th as I usually do to boost past the slower cars, peaked boost at 24psi and heard this ungodly *pop*.
Black smoke came billowing out the back and I feared for the worst, boost gauge read 0psi and I was right down on power.
Nursed it into a retail park nearby and had a peek, the bloody outlet hose on the turbo had popped off, to my surprise it wasn't damaged and even the jubilee was still roughly in the right place.
Question: I've managed to sort of push the hose back onto the turbo, but I cannot for the life of me get access to tighten the jubilee, the inlet manifold is being a right lady garden. I'm now peaking boost at 7psi and hearing this huge whoooosh noise which of course is air leaking from that connection. Sounds pretty cool tbh. Any tips on access to that jubilee?
Cheers
