N249 Bypass on a BAM

[<tuffty/>]

Oh and Tuffts, how does your engine cover stay on if you've removed the holder?

Still got a fixing on the charge pipe mount and of course clips on the inlet as normal..

Oh dear........ I ripped off my charge pipe clip

It may be time to paint the rocker gloss red and let it all show.

Ok so ive just done the bypass again but this time i didnt cable-tie the pipe at all, so its totally free.

I no longer get the judder at low revs or high revs, but at mid-revs i still get a little flutter, could the bypass hose be collapsing in on itsself? I cant think what else could be causing this, especially as at high revs it works fine. I bought a £4 silicone 4mm ID hose from amazon, but surely it should still be up to the job?

Part throttle low/mid revs flutter is normal....

sounds like the cable ties were too tight, pinching the pipe. Hopefully all is now well

Nah i didnt use any cable ties the second time around, just to test it... And it still didnt sound right, so its back to standard now.
