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
Paul

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.

Sorry I should have described it better. I can't find a new one online to buy?
But thanks anyways

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

Apparently it is the part of the exhaust that connects between the turbo and the exhaust. does anyone know if it is this one?

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.
