Boost Pipes look Dirty

My boost pipes look dirty...espeially right where the foiled side attatches to the intercooler. Does this mean I have a leak, and if I do, how can I fix it?

are you talking about the buildup around the boots? if so, that is completely normal

Yes, there is a heck of a build up around the boots

Isn't the CCV mod supposed to help/eliminate that? I thought some of it at least

I guess it should.... I haven't done the CCV mod..

I just did it after cleaning all the crud off and painting the IC pipes, I had alot of buildup, hoping it helps, I thought that was one of the main reason's for doing it.

I think it is.. but I have no idea if it really helps anything or not -- but in theory it should

After blowing off the hose closest to the turbo i did the CCV mod and it has cured the problem of oily hoses/tubes, very easy mod to do

Well there's the answer I think he was looking for

I may have to do that someday..

cool deal!

The build up is from the CCV. If you do the CCV mod then you will be clean and pretty instead of dirty and ugly.
