Title: Fix Leaking Factory Hot pipes
Post by: polskifacet on January 11, 2018, 08:08:32 PM
Hey guys,
The hot pipe from the rear turbo is seeping oil around the whole area. Post is to gather info on the couplers needed to replace the stock plastic clamp crap. Have the inlet sizes but not the outlet sizes. Any help appreciated.

Inlets are 1 3/4"
Inlet Coupler (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NXZYFQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Inlet Clamps (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058W7VHK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Outlets are 1.5" but the piping is 1 3/4"

1.5" T Bolt (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058W7U6W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1)
1 3/4" T bolt (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058W7VCU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1)

Z are you pretty confident on 1.5 to 2 inch coupler?

It should be 2 ID X 1.5 ID Hose! But finding the proper length might be an issue. Dunno . Z

The 4 in length sounds ideal! Best of luck.  Z

Hopefully I won't need it but HPS also has these 3" joiner pieces.

I also replaced all the Hoses/couplers with the HPS a while back and honestly dont blame you!
They are great quality silicone hoses specifically made for turbo applications. 
I still have my original charge pipe in excellent condition!
If interested LMK and just pay for the shipping!!  Z

I'll be paying attention to this. Let me know if this works out for you. I think I have a small leak around the intake connection, near the noise maker.

Hey Guys,
So 2 inch is big on the stock hot pipe. The better size is 1 3/4. I was lucky and the stock reducer was actually fine, I just took off the plastic clamp garbage and put a regular worm clamp on it for now. I have to order new T bolt clamps and im going 1 size under the "recommended size as I had to screw the one for 1.5 inch pipe on the turbo almost till it ran out of thread.

All good man, Since ill be taking it apart again to put on the t bolt, ill measure both sides of the reducing coupler and the plastic pipe with a caliper. I did sand the plastic pipe a bit because where the pieces are joined, they are actually glued and had really sharp edges.
