I now understand why you would not feel rushed to fix your boost leaks haha!
Im having all the leaking boost pipes re-made in 3 inch stainless steel tubing. just waiting for the welder man to get it done. anyone know of a massive open space where i can test it running at full boost? im a little bit nervous about trying it on a public road haha

Quick get the badge back on, they're good for an extra 30hp!
Yeah i heard that too, in fact it must be the missing badge and not the massive boost leak thats causing the power loss!!!
