The TB hose itself is a fairly common failure. I have some spare hoses in Samco if interested. Other than that - check the security of all clips in that area and check the hoses to ISV and PCV systems as well... Just about impossible to see there so needs some dismantling to inspect hoses properly.

tb leak

its not the hose from the turbo pipe to the TB. The air is coming out the side of the TB where the spring mechanism of the throttle connects to the shaft i'll try get a pic up. thanks

Oh right that is an odd one... presume there must be some sort of seal which has failed there. Not sure how airtight that can actually be, but you'd probably need to get alongside a couple of other cars to do a proper comparison.

i know its very strange, its not just a small leak either its Pi**ing out. i'll have to take the sprung mechanism off which will be a pain. jst out of intrest how much is a boosh hose kit for 3b engine?

Full boost kits are 210 quid plus shipping - I am way behind on requests for kits from Samco but should be doing another batch this Spring.
