Is the top pipe in good condition? The Ecotec one to the TB?
Prone for splitting along the creases on the older X20XEVs and causing idle/running issues...

Well the ecotec pipe is second hand and does have abit of tape on it. You reckon it could be that?

I had a similar problem on my XEV Cavalier, pipe was split.
I wouldn't trust it if it looks like it's had an attempted seal/fix.
Have a look to see if there are any cracks/splits in it under the tape - it'd be worth getting a replacement though to rule it out IMO.

I damaged my ecotec pipe when fitting it and taped it up, never ran right after that. Got a new one and it sorted the cutting out/stalling problem.
