I managed to find a piece of the old intercooler pipe I had, and a 1.5" joiner piece I had lying about, and have given it to a proper welder to try and make something of it.. theres quite alot of gap to make up in it, but I'm hoping for the best. Saves me waiting for a delivery from the states. I'll pick it up on wednesday.. so we'll see then if its sorted or not lol
