Isnt there like a gt25/30 or something which is a bit smaller than the 35/40? Im no where near the sorta person to be trying to give advice about Turbos, or anything mechanical related anyways. Maybe speak to Kyle man.

Was crusin in the vl and noticed a petrol leak from around the gas tank. Look under the car and theres this orange pipe just hanging there. Look in the manual and theres some pipes around there for the fuel tank. Put the car on stands and wtf? Not 1 but 2 pipes have broken off. 1 has a tear in in like 3 inches long so that will have to be replaced. The other should just be an easy job of cutting the old end off , forcing it back on where it goes and re-clamping it on there. But dam ... lucky i dont smoke ah.
