Inlet Manifold Getting Done Today

[corderz]

My Veccy is in the garage today getting the inlet manifold done (at last)

Can't wait to get it back and see if there is a difference, fingers crossed!

The garage has found that one of the vac pipes going into the back of the engine somewhere is badly split and have ordered a new one but wont be here until the morning so picking it back up tomorrow. Could this split vac pipe be a cause of my lack of power problems too?

cheers

When I bought my vex it needed a new inlet as the rod had fell off the back of it, the car was intermittently really sluggish under 2k, whilst I was waiting for it to go into the garage I cleaned the egr valve which solved all my problems, I still went ahead with replacing the inlet but that wasn't causing my problem, you will probably find it's your vac pipe giving you a lack of power, there's people on here that have done 30k with a knackered manifold and noticed no problems
