Hi I have a 1.4 seat Leon 5f , it is stage 1 mapped and has been fine for a while however it has popped the Intercooler pipe off at the turbo side twice now snapping the lugs that hold the pipe on . Is there anywhere that does either a metal version or has anyone any advice on this ie would silicone hoses be better as the vag ones are pretty crap , also any links would be great as I can’t find any
Thanks in advance ste

The vag ones are indeed crap, you could use a metal pipe clamp. You can find better hoses online on ebay etc. Racingline make good ones that are reinforced with internal wiring. Forge make good ones too.
