Boost / air leaks are often an issue when engines are changed or items removed when not enough care is not taken with all of the ducts and pipes, take a quick look at the photo below of a squashed pipe that had been mullered into place following some work done at a non specialist garage :x: the pipe had to be replaced as it could not be trusted.

thats nothing, was on the phone to a friend yesterday who has a zed in with a boost leak which turned out to be the passenger side turbo which had been bodged by another garage.

 

they had snapped off 2 of the studs and they tried to weld the turbo to the manifold!!

 

scary stuff

Wow!!! unreal, still get amazed by some of the bodges some garages will try and get away with but welding the turbo to the manifold is horrendous
