been investigating a lack of boost on my 997.1 turbo for the last couple of weeks. It's been stubbornly at about 0.7bar, rising to about 0.9bar in sport mode if you give the beans :dont know:
checked for sticky actuator rods, all fine
As it's bank holiday Monday I thought I'd look a bit deeper into it. Removed the rear PU and had a rummage.
Nearside bottom intercooler pipe top jubilee clip was a bit loose, so maybe source boost leak? After looking a bit further into it, the bottom clip and hose on offside virtually fell off in my hand when I give a waggle. The clips on these look a really crap design, although I managed to reclip the hose into position it still has a load of movement when you move it?

Also, the internal bit of the fitting is coated in some pink residue (coolant?). Is the anything to be concerned about?

I'm thinking a pair of new hoses are in order. Has anyone upgraded to silicone hoses? if so do these fit on standard intercoolers :?: The ones I've looked at don't seem to have the steel fitting the same as the standard one at the intercooler end :?:
