mimjed 0 Posted July 8, 2010 Driving to work this morning about 3k in 3rd gear. Revs suddenly shot up to the top of the red line, foot off pedal and it stayed there for a second until it popped a boost pipe off. Any clues as to why? Never done anything like that before. Glad oil temp was at 90 so minimal harm done. Throttle cable is new and tb freshly cleaned/lubed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mimjed 0 Posted July 8, 2010 :lol: got to love the sensible answer. if i had that button i would press it 8) wasnt the mat sadly. put boost pipe back on and found a small fuel leak. fixed that and its quick as fook now. must have cleared some poop out. no idea what made it happen, clutch playing up? yeah i could have done with a fresh pair of boxers to be honest, didnt know if it would hit the rev limiter and blow the charger :gag: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
