took the job today to Changed all rubber pipes to silicone ones as the old ones looked knackered
my turbo didnt want to kick in till it reached 2k revs and my EGR Valve had stopped working there was no suction on the EGR pipe
replaced all pipes to silicone ones and cleaned the EGR Valve the car is so much better tested EGR now opening and closing
Turbo also kicks in quicker now no waiting to each 2k revs
also had a error related to exhaust gas recirculation which has now also gone which was related to the EGR Valve not opening
i recommend to change any rubber pipes to silicone ones if you are experiencing any power lag issues
the silicones ones are much better against heat and cold and cracking
