Hi,

I have a Golf GT TDI 150. This has been chipped and i am getting about 200 + out of it. The problemi have is that the pipes for the turbo and the intercooler can not handle the power now and tend to blow. Has anyone ever heard of this or know what pipes whould be used after an upgrade like this.

I chose "A" because that was the only choice.

Do your pipes blow @ the turbo or at the IC? Turbo has special quick-release fittings that wouldn't be too easy to modify. For my IC connections I've been using something called a T-bolt clamp that is easily obtained from most turbo shops or, in my case, the McMaster-Carr industrial catalog.
