How to change boost pipe ?

[MidnightBlueS2]

Evenin' everyone !

Just a little one that I'm sure loads of members will be able to answer... What's the step-by-step to change the metal or plastic boost pipe that runs from the Intake Manifold to the Intercooler ( via the intercooler hose ).

I know that it's attached with what looks like 3 bolts/screws but what will I need to remove to get access to these 3 bolts/screws ?

I'm sure I could figure this out but hey !, with a forum like this one, I'd be a fool not to get as much info that I can lay my eyes on so that I don't brake or damage something

Thanx in advance for any and all help !

Remove the Airbox (3 or 4 clips (Mine has some missing), a Jubillee on the MAF, a plug onto the MAF and a 13mm bolt nearest the turbo.) Gently pull the bottom half of the airbox out, it is pegged against the Inner Wing through rubber grommets, it should pop out easy enough. Then undo the jubilee at the front, and the Jubilee on the back of the boost pipe, then undo the 3 X 13mm bolts and gently pull it up at the front just enough to free it from the boost pipe, and pop it out from the Throttle body hose, and there you go- Job done, rebuild is reversal of stripping down.

Lol, Dead easy. Take off the hoses at either end and then those 3 bolts you mentioned, undo them and job sorted

[Graham]

Or if your nimble just undo it like Mark says
