Now this is a bit embarrassing...

As you may know I've been tinkering about with changing my turbos over the last couple of weekends. Now that the old ones are out (stuffed bearings on the rear turbo by the way), I'm ready to put the new ones in, but just want to replace some of the rubber pipes that are either cracked or are looking old. Anyone know what this pipe is for?? I can't remember where I removed it from (sounds promising when I come to installing the turbos doesn't it lol!)

If you know the part number it would be even better too! Thanks!!

That almost looks like the pipe that attaches the valve cover to the rear turbo...

I agree. First, it looked like radiator pipe and I was thinking "$hit if he doesn't know what the rad pipe is, turbo installation is going to be fun" :-)

Attaches to the ISCV on inlet manifold and goes under the plastic cover that goes over the coils and attaches to turbo pipes at the other side.

Turbo installation is fun, doing it slowly but yeah, hopefully nothing will blow up when I turn the car on lol!

So is this the one you are referring to:

Daniel - when you break the little plastic cam cover breather hose that comes out of the rocker cover, come see me - I have the die to then thread the hole it goes in, and you need a $12 brass 90-degree fitting from Pirtek.

Oh really?? So you can't just put the hose back in you gotta do something weird to make it fit on it... crap, didn't know that.
