If thats blown off then the car will be running minus the turbo and also sucking up tons of **** off the road, best get it refitted asap!

fixed now. got pipe welded at local TIG welding specialist for £5.
Fitted it last night.

All OK so far .....:icon_thumright:

i think the monkey who did timing belt must have damaged it when removing the pipe. It's quite awkward to get it out
