Boost leak

[agriffin]

Today I did the DIY 6637 intake and said hell while im here ill do a foil delete. Started cleaning the adheasive off and the pipe(dont know what its actually called) has a dent and crack in it.

Could i use JB weld or aluminium tape as a quick fix untill I can get new one?

Is there any benefit on having aftermarket compaired to stock?

no benefit to aftermarket intercooler pipes unless you get a diff cooler.
you could try patching it for now. just to get you by

I would try welding it... a lot of pressure goes thru those pipes. Dont be messing around with stuff thats just not gonna work.

There is No psi on that pipe, just slight vacume as its pre trubo. Id clean it and JB weld it smooth and paint it. The shape looks like a cone theres no way it could ever be sucked into the trubo.
Just my
goodluck

That tube is NOT pre-turbo. its the hot-side cac tube after turbo. If his truck builds 20psi, that spot will see 20psi.

The hole was made from the banjo fitting on the power steering unit / resivoir. Like 305 said, get it welded then put some type of foam padding glued in that area so this problem dont happen again.

Thanks guys I guess ill weld it. I priced a new one at the ford dealership 125 bucks. Id much rather save that so i can get gauges and tunes sooner.

Good idea. No need for a new one. Just a tack weld will probably do.

Off topic, I know, but can anyone tell me why you would want to do the foil delete?

Because it lets the turbo sing like a mofo
