Maybe because of in the clip you took, you can see as boost builds, the piping into the inlet looks like it's going to come off.

Sure, you have a weird coupler, but it's still a sign of a restriction? Changing it to a silicone item or something which will prevent that will only push it further back, possibly causing surge?

Dunno .. Ask ASG, best option

hmmm thats a valid point... however is it aslo because there is so much pressure running through the pipes, that the joiner not being re-enforced swells up because of it??



I think i may chuck on the stock manifold and see if that improves things..

I'd love to see the results of that, I'm pretty sure you know I think your inlet manifold is a peice of shit If rigoli can run a 9 on a stock inlet manifold...

Plenty of rexes running 1.8 bar that don't swell the joiners up like that, must be a decent restriction somewhere after that joiner to be causing that to blow up..

you'll be flowing a lot more air at 1.8 bar obviously, which imo points again to a restriction somewhere.

Is it possible to prove that it's the inlet manifold by taking it off, having it flow tested? And then calculate the CFM output of your turbo at full boost and then compare ..
