Hi folks,

 

Just popped the bonnet on my 2003 BA XR6T and noticed this small line from the engine to the turbo lines has melted where it attaches to the engine nipple. I'm guessing it's a sensor line or a breather of some type? Could someone please ID it for me so I can order a replacement online thanks? Have taped it up for the time being, I guess it would not like having a big hole in it lol. Why would it have melted like that? Cheers for any help.

While on this topic what have people used in place of the black plastic screw connector the goes into crossover pipe that this hose connects to?

 

I know you can get them new but I have herd there quite expensive and people have used a brass fitting etc ?

replace the stock crossover with a turbo-side intake and intercooler piping kit ;) haha; that stupid connector tends to break anyway as it doesn't have much flex.
