Turbo front pipe jx 1.6td

Post by therollingbrick »

Hi, this is probably a daft question but my mechanic has said that i need a new "front pipe" for my turbo? I can't seem to find this anywhere?

Thanks in advance

You won't see it looking from above the engine.

You need to scrabble under the van, under the air filter (near side of the van).

You should find the turbo underneath and should then see the pipes.

Do you mean the boost pipe (between turbo and inlet manifold) or the air inlet pipe (from air filter)

so its the exhaust then! lol
that is the pipe, two different versions though.. early and late. If your van is pre 89 then thats the one. GSF do sell them as well. so you could pop down and collect one.
