Turbo pipe upgrade problem

without the flared ends you will never get them to stay.
no need for double clamps at such low boost. even worm clamp will do the job.
the key is the flared end and CLEAN the ends.

Id go back to Plazmaman but i can be arsed sending it back and waiting for another one. I can just flare the ends myself its easy. Then ill just file them off and clean it all up.

I used rivets to make a flange around the perimiter..

Say thats not a bad idea either. Anything thats going to make a barrier to push against the clamped section of the join so it wont pop out
i wouldn't use rivets. they have a habit of wearing loose and falling out. besides it would take ages to fit them.

I though Aussie's idea of drilling a couple of 6mm holes sounded worth giving a go

Yes and kind of. Welder is in storage and is a bitch to try and get out with all the stuff in front of it.
So realistically, no.

All good its fixed now. Cut 4 slits in the end and bent a flange outwards and managed to get the pipe back into the silicone join and pop the flange into the outdented section of the join.
Heavy duty clamps in front of the flanged section of the pipe. Perfect.

Just an update on the problem. Took the nav to plazamaman during the week. What the discovered is the intake diameter is smaller then previous models by 5mm. So their silicon adapter was too big. Swapped it over no questions asked. He was very apologetic and told me if anyone on here is having issues to ring them up and they will send new silicon joiner out.
On a side note spent about a hr there speaking with him. He has a nice d40 with 130rwkw, and was telling me about plazmaman future planning for the nav. On the cards is a air intake pipe and box that connects to snorkel aswell should give one hell of a whistle. inter cooler and piping upgrades and a few other bits and pieces
