genx2g Member 95 Member For: 10y 6m 4d Posted 26/04/14 01:17 PM Share Posted 26/04/14 01:17 PM I've heard the fg turbos have weak intercooler piping and need to be replaced due to the stock piping bursting.I was wondering at what power range will I need to change the piping?

Either way the material they are made of is thin and poor quality not something you'd expect out of a high performance car, so a good idea is to get a pipe kit and replace it.I'd say if your running anything more than factory boost, replace them.
