## Discrepancy

(CAN) TUBE HAD BROKEN AT WELDMENT THAT ATTACHES THE TUBE TO THE FLANGE THAT BOLTS IT TO THE ENGINE BLEED.  AIR PORT WAS CRACKED 90% OF THE WAY AROUND WELD.  THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO NOT REACH TARGET TORQUES UNLESS WATER METH WAS USED.  UNIT WAS REPLACED AND ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
