Hell all, hope you are well, ok excuse my being pedantic the boost pipe, what is the purpose of it? it 'exhales'? the crude image sorry, but in the curved area in green shown by green arrow I have some play ...couple of mm, will this affect anything? reason I ask and despite the kind feedback of wpoll and clavurion who mention my turbo issue not spooling could be the cracked manifold i have, i am just pig headed and wondering if this little play is bad...ps the green straight lines represent to boost pipe the curve green line is where i have some mm play...just curious
