Cossie backfiring blows the air filter off!
How the fuck does this happen? Yep at high boost it kinda dies then does a massive backfire, and opening the bonnet the Samco and cone filter have been blown off the turbo. Has happened a couple of times now and I can't get my head round it...
WTF?

I will also point out that the Samco is not properly Jubilee-clipped onto the turbo, it's kinda bodged on with a piece of rubber pipe due to the Samco being for T3 not T34. So it's not like it would require massive force to blow it off.

So I just pulled off my Samco and cone filter and spent my lunchbreak ragging it round the block, and interestingly enough the dead spot is still there, though less bad maybe, but it's not backfiring???
And it was dead fun actually, the fucking induction roar and especially chatter was unbelievably loud with no filter! I've got a RamAir I bought recently but haven't put on yet so I think the stainless steel cone is headed for the bin...

Backfire can easily see hundreds of psi in the inlet tract, normally blows a hose off between the inlet and turbo somewhere though, not upstream of the turbo like that, but i guess its jus cause its not attached properly in the first place.
