Also,
Had a nice bang today on the motorway followed by lack of turbo power!
quick inspection and...
Is there meant to be that much oil in the intercooler pipes?

You need a catch tank, and monitor how much oil ends up in it, pack it with wire wool to help catch the oil.
If the hard boost pipes haven't got a raised ridge it'll keep blowing the pipes off.

Cheers mate, i think ive got a catch tank kicking around somewhere.
Ive ordered a new silicon elbow as the legs on this one look like they have been chopped too short, but i will get a new set of hard pipes too! thanks for the advice mate.

My boost pipe popped off, had a fair amount of oily stuff come out as well.
It came off on the way to Trax, at Silverstone, had to get a new clip as it had disappeared somewhere.
One of the stalls was selling silicone pipes and clips. The clips were a lot stronger than the jubilee clips that I had fitted, but you had to know the diameter of the pipe as there wasnt much adjustment on the clips. They were special turbo clips, lot thicker and stronger.
Might be worth swapping yours, if they are just the Jubilee types.

i agree with Pete, Mikalor clips are much wider than the normal Jubilee type clips.

For the battery cable I used 170 amp with a 200 amp circuit breaker, I've only managed to pop the breaker once when I forgot to reconnect the injector loom and was turning the engine over for quite a while wondering why it wouldn't start.
