Yeah. At least its not been causing any problems. Not even a rough idle or anything. I can get a spanner on to it. Just a shame its fell off the pipe really. Will try to take a photo of where it is etc to show what I'm dealing with

Well, after having the car in a garage for 2 hours hunting for this darn air leak... I finally found it but I couldn't fix it as the garage was closing and I didn't want to fool it up and then not be able to sort it. The garage manager didn't charge me for using his ramps which is awesome. So, the leak seems to be on the drivers side turbo outlet pipe. The silicone coupler has a jubilee clip which seems to have come off the silicone bit. It's pretty impossible to get at from under the car but I can get my hand down from the top but can't get the jubilee clip back on. I'm guessing ill have to pull the pipe off and then get the jubilee clip on the silicone before putting it back on. Just hoping ill be able to do it. Looks a bit of a pig to be honest but the only other option looks like you'd have to drop the engine down. Daft thing is, you wouldn't even know there was a leak under normal driving, drives fine, idles fine. I'm guessing this could be why it stalls sometimes after being on boost but I fairly drive it hard.

Lol. Well, after having the car in a garage for 2 hours hunting for an air leak... I finally found it but I couldn't fix it as the garage was closing. To be fair though, the garage manager didn't charge me for using his ramps which is awesome.

If I had my car mapped and boost controller and that done I'd seriously consider it... But don't want to risk any damage until then

Will have to leave it a few days to check I guess but seemed ok this morning

water on the inside of windscreen
So, was looking round the car following last night and noticed the door wasn't very flush which might explain the windows letting in in the above picture. This was the best I could get it And here's the same window again when I got home tonight

Yeah the turbos would have the normal inlet and outlet. They don't have an actuator which is where the normal vac lines are to control boost etc, instead this is on the external wastegates so there's a vac pipe or 2 on them I believe. Just wish I had a way of getting under the car, I've jock a trolley jack but no axle stands etc. Been thinking about getting some wood and building some ramps. In regards to the compressor, I was pretty sure it wouldn't be up to the job of building up any pressure, but that being said, with the addition of the smoke, it did point out a leak (just the one). Is there any small and portable compressors you can buy that would be good enough? Thinking it'd be worth having as I'm often doing boost leak tests (normally at petrol stations).

Thought there'd be more guesses lol. I'll struggle to get under the car sadly as I don't really have a safe enough driveway so I'll need to get it to a garage at some point.
