Default Split hose

TT4WD ( Colin) called me tonight to inform me that he has found a split hose going from the turbo to the metering head on my WR the one with an elbow join in it. Colin mentioned that it looked as if it has been bodged at some point in the distant past.It isnt visable when the air filter and metering head is in position. I am also having new manifold gaskets fitted while this kit is out for investigation.

SO........ question is, will this severly affect the idling speed and also the car's inability to restart when its at operating temperature please?

Other than this hose split what other effects will this cause?

thanks Colin its much appreciated ole pal you

progress at last, something definate to indicate Archie's lack of interest when starting up from warm and idling.
