Just blew a hole in my flex pipe, coming off the Turbo, on the way to work today ...No TT at
 

TT east unless someone has a quick bandage solution that will quiet this down for a couple of days.

you talking intake hose? or something else???>>>
 

is the car in limp mode? or showing no boost??

No No No...This is on the exhaust side...There is a flexible mesh ...
 

covered bellows between the turbo and the cats it's blowing exhuast of the mesh

correct way to repair those is to get a muffler shop to replace the bellows...
 

i suppose you can use something from autozone or elsewhere...they sell an exhaust wrap that will patch up holes or leaky exhaust pipes and hold up to the heat. only a temp patch, but may last you long enough to get it repaired later.

would they cut the old bellows out and weld in a new one? I was going to try a
 

a stainless wrap tonight, if I can get in there to put it on. I'm sure it will still be leaking some at the edges.

That exhaust wrap may last for 5 minutes that close to the turbo.... BTDT on a
 

VW Jetta.... nowhere close to the manifold, so cooler... still only lasted a few days. My $0.02 is that it's total crap. Get it repaired correctly... my opinion is to replace the pipe. For my car the part is about $370.

I intend to replace the pipe....but was looking for a quick fix to get to TT east in the TT...
 

Thanks for the feedback on the wrap....I probably won't bother with the effort since it's such a difficult area to access.

they would slice it right out and put in a new flex pipe...
 

i just saw one the other day at KMD...pretty heavy sucker.

OK at a good shop, not OK at Billy Bob's muffler! =)

haha. yeah...i would assume that it would be at a 'nice' shop.
