Turbo help?!
so i was doing some spirited driving last night being a show off when all of a sudden my half engine light came on. my car was still driving normally but i obviously wasn't trying to floor it. i was hoping it would just go away when i shut it off
so i shut it off and turned it back on. the light was gone but my BOV system wasn't making any noise. this morning i took a closer look and it turned out my charge pipe got disconnected. i tried to fit it back together but it's pretty tight under there. i'm really posting to ask: has this happened to anyone? is it a big deal?

I have had other turbo vehicles and while running a lot of boost, I frequently had IC/Charge Pipes blow off.
That being said, it has never happened on my BMW - but my BMW is all stock. Is your car modified - are you running stock boost?

is it as simple as just re-connecting it?

If I think I understand you correctly, it became disconnected when under a full load of boost, made a loud crumpling sound and the half engine light came on. If that's the case, you can reconnect the pipe - and where the pipe connects you turn the clamp device so that it won't come off again. |

Yeah, you can do that and clamp it like someone else said... Or look into an aftermarket charge pipe.
