I installed my THS Seat Cooler today
What a job ! took me quite a few hours !
And guess what....
when I boost past 10psi, I get a whistleing noise coming from the turbo / cooler....I assume one of the pipe are not tight enough...arrrgh, now I need to start tightening pipes again -- unless anyone has any other suggestions.

Anyway, here are the pic's:

Looks pretty swish mate!

Done a great job on it so far, keep it up.

Top job Clint, do you have a boost gauge. Is it down on boost when whistling?

Defo check all the boost pipes again.

Yep, did my Seat core today, same issue! Boosting moderately feels fine, boost hard and I can hear it. Car feels fine on boost, not great. I wonder which connection it will be, hoping I don't have to pull the bumper off again.

I know, it was quite a job.
Put up pics.

Thanks Gav,
I do have a boost gauge, and normally it will boost to 18 psi, now it only hits 14 psi, so back to the pipes.....

Got my tools together, was just about to get the bumper off again, and thought....Sh#t, not today...so just washed the car.....will look at the pipes perhaps next weekend

Good on you for having a go mate. yes tasky hey. Anyway whosh will most def be boost leak. this is where i probably won when doing VWindahouses one, before i refitted the bar cover i smoke tested it for itegrity, i guess hard for you guys without that sort of gear. i know it makes it hard to say whilst you have your front PU back on but its best you make sure the clamps are all new and proper tight.
Im sure will get it, good work!
Cheers

Yep, those bastard T-bolts always have to tighten up muchhh more than you think... spray some hairspray inside them or on the pipe ends too

[clicht]

So I took my bumper off again, and found one slighly loose clamp...I retighted it, and then went through all the other clamps and made sure that they were tight.......very tight.
After that I decided to finally fit my forge TIP; well what can I say but sh#t was a mission. There as screming and shouting and cuts and bruises, but finally after removing half the engine, I managed to fit it -- whooohooooom although wont be in a hurry to do this again. If anyone is thinking of doing this, drop me a PM, and I will give you a few tips

Anyway, here of the photos of my cooler, with TIGHT clamps:
