Hello, just joined and seems some really useful advice for focus owners.

Had the turbo intercooler pipe blow off the bottom of the air filter housing in the week. AA guy said lots of issues with focus turbos, best he did not comment, reconnected pipe and said I need to get it checked out. Took a picture in side the turbo can any one say if any thing looks odd please?

Many thanks

    Thats a great image mate, I might try and inspect mine tomorrow. Now I'm no expert on turbos, but to me that looks like its in good nick. All of the veins look clean and intact and the air inlet pipe looks clean. Are you experiencing any issues with your car since the pipe came off? it may have just been an insecure jubilee clip.
