Hey Corsafans.
There is smoke and hideous amounds of tiger-like roaring and birdie-like whistling coming from my engine. Bassically this is due to a Pipe that connects the turbo the the very top of the exhaust being broken/snapped.
I assume... the whistling is from the 0 compression in the turbo, the roar is more lack of compression from the manifold and the smoke is because my exhaust is now practically at the front of my car.
Does anyone at least know what this pipe is connecting the turbo to the exhaust is. Is there a term? Just so I can ask around for one, also do you reckon it's safe to drive at all?
Corsa B 1.5TD 1999T 99500 Miles
Cheers - Jim

On my td, the exhaust is 1 complete section between the manifolfd and the backbox, might be becuase mine is an early model though. what year is yours?
