Last night the wind gust was quite big. Heard of some trees falling in Tullamarine area dropping on cars.

Any wind damage around your area?

Lucky not much on mine, just a bit dignity is hurt - here's what my wife found when she got home from work:

The wind blew so strong till the wheelie bin "ate" my car.......

It's either a case of the 2-wheeler falling in love with a 4-wheeler or

the wheelie bin thinks the 13-yo car is rubbish.

OWNED BY THE WHEELIE BIN! Anyhow green & red does look good in pictures!

Gosh, is that in Northcote? I've just moved out of Thornbury/Fairfield area. Seems like hail or gail loves to strike there too. About 2 years ago a huge hail storm damaged a lot of units in my block and not to mention writing off some cars from water damage to the interior & electrical system, not to mention lots of panel damage from the hail.

Got a bit on the balcony. Cats had used the BBQ cover as a scratching post and ripped the corner. Wind worked on the small tear and ripped the cover quite badly. Need to think about a replacement but taking the claws off the cats could be cheaper.

Did anyone see the house that flew off the back of the truck on eastern freeway near Doncaster exit? Was yesterday at about 12:30-1pm....

It was one of those wide load trucks carrying a wooden house, and the wooden house was destroyed on the road.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
