Sounds great! You wait until you get the remap!! Quite nice doing it in stages so you can see/feel the difference.
VGT is on my shopping list  James

Hi Familymad
The small elbow goes from the bottom of the turbo onto the end of the steel pipe feeding the intercooler on the RH side of the engine. It’s a pain to do, I ended up seeking advice from Pete Bell to get it done. His advice included remove top of fan cowl, release tension on the belt, unbolt water pump (don’t disconnect any hoses), and push it back, this will give you some space to gain access to the turbo hose. The new silicone hose was an ultra tight fit and took a serious amount of hot water, soap, jiggling and swearing to make it fit!! Hopefully yours will be a bit easier than the full day I spent tearing my hands to pieces

Totally agree with John, it's a pig to get on. Some blokes say you don't have to move the water pump, but I found the same as John that loosening the water pump gives you that little bit of extra space to get the hose in. It's only one more bolt to remove after taking out the two bolts that hold the steel connecting tube in position. Be prepared to loose some bark off your hands and don't have the kids anywhere near because you will be cursing a lot.

Interested in your intercooler/hose mod and even more interested to hear what the addition of the remap will in due course bring.
I see you have the Nugget intake modification. That and a free flow exhaust make noticeable difference to how the motor revs and responds to throttle. I have their large diameter aluminium RAI with the intake mod, and have no silencers in my custom made side exit exhaust (vehicle isn´t any louder than before, cat is still fitted) and am impressed how sporty the throttle response is. Concerning the lower elbow. in my view it has to be worth doing as that particular hose does split after a while. I wasn´t aware of the problem until on a UK trip we suddenly experienced loss of power accompanied by a whooshing sound when pressing the throttle. I soon concluded it was a hose, but looked all over the engine bay and couldn´t identify where it was coming from. The upper two intercooler hoses were intact. It was Sunday evening, so i posted in the forum and immediately got helpful advice and was informed that a specialist workshop (Keith Gott) was nearby. We stayed in a hotel and arrived there Monday morning. As their workshop was fully booked, their parts manager stepped up and offered to do the job. i watched and was fascinated how many parts he had to remove to get to the hose. It is on the nearside (LHS) of the motor and extremely tight. He acheived the job within about 45 mins, but knew what he was doing. If I remember rightly, my 2.2 had 65000 km and was four years old when the hose went.

That sounds like a job for March or April. I have a history of immobilising my Landies just when the snow starts!!!
The hose next to the airbox was a real fight and having air con didn't help. The viscous fan just wouldn't budge off so access was a pig overall. Copious amounts of hot water and washing up liquid are indeed your friend. Will post some pics of the hose that went on ours. It had been sliced by the alternator I believe. Just nicked it and then she blew. Happened 60 miles after getting off the ferry from 2000mile Pyrenees trip. Would have been a mare to fail in some of the spots we ended up  1951 80" S1 2.0

Had a split turbo hose followed by the inter cooler hose on my previous 130 when the garage drove the car back to me. That’s the main reason I ordered the silicon hoses.

 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Worried that silicon or not, it could do this again.... hoping that the damage was done pre alternator strap modification. 1951 80" S1 2.0 1995 110 300TDI 1995 90 300TDI |

And because I’ve been too busy with work and some personal issues I had the pleasure today to experience the same as with my other 130. Hissing noise combined with lack of power followed by an error.
Managed to stop at a petrol station to pop the hood. Found the crack in the in the intercooler hose. Bought some ductape in the shop and carefully drove the car home. Now... How on earth people manage to install the silicon hoses is beyond me! 🤬 |

Get coolant on the belt and it’ll squeak and do your nut in, better to remove it
