The second downstream aluminum pipe from the turbo won't stay seated, producing a gap between the pipe and the rubber gasket at the plenum (?) that releases turbo pressure which results in some very ugly driving behavior. The first time this happened, I simply loosened some nuts, adjusted the alignment of the pipes, and I was on my way. That repair lasted several hundred miles. Now that approach lasts just a few yards-and eventually required a tow. I've tried every which way to tighten and adjust the anchoring straps, but they just won't hold. My thoughtful and clever "multi-brand" mechanic is befuddled by this. I've found no technical bulletins for this on-line. I can't be the only one experiencing this. With only 9000 miles on the ticker, this seems to be a design flaw. The pipe seems too short or the gasket is the wrong size. Please: HELLLLPP!
