depends on what sort of intercooler you have, but supercheap auto or repco sells some intercooler piping. If it doesnt suit you may have to get a custom pipe fabricated. Kermit, a member on these forums should be able to help you out.

Why dont you just weld the hole up?

Also must ask, how the hell did that happen?

[Ehgriez]

i was thinking the same thing. Shouldnt cost that much man, its just a piece of pipe, hardest bit will be finding a new bit.

i rather just a fresh pipe ay.. well who ever put this fmic in they did a dodgey home job and didnt know that the pipe was gona be touching the bonnet so every time i would go over a bump it would knock against it.. and yer a hole came out lol.. im gona try super cheap tomoz any other places to look for?? cheers skyliners

i highly doubt you'd get a big dent and a hole from the pipe 'touching' the bonnet while going over a bump.

you can cut it and use a silicon joiner, or get an alloy welder to fix it up.

Was that from one bump or do u only pop ur bonnet once every few years and not notice dents forming lol. sorry.

[zonk]

umm yer i knew it was there but to start with it was more scrapped off then a hole.. then i notced few days ago the boost was gone so yer.. magic go jam it mate

[zonk]

Where can i go to buy one of these pipes from? xspeed or something?

Have a look on eBay for any of the sellers that sell these kits if you contact them they'll be able to send you out just the top pipe. You should be able to replace it yourself in about 15 minutes. When I bought one of these kits I put the boost nipple on at slightly the wrong angle so I contacted the eBay seller I bought it off and got him to send out a replacement pipe. It cost me ~$100 which is a rip-off, but I needed it.

I still have my spare one here that has the boost nipple on in a slightly awkward position. If you wanted it; you could plug up the old boost nipple and then just put a new one in; pretty simple process that will elt you have a working car again until you source a new pipe.

pretty sure i have that pipe from my old cooler kit on my car, i may have thrown it out but i will have a look tomorow for you if you want it
