Title: Boost hose issues!
Post by: Ian@TunerUK on April 16, 2007, 07:26:59 PM
My boost hose from the turbo manifold to intercooler keeps popping off! Most annoying, gone for a \'double jubilee clip\' fronted assault to stop it now.

If that doesn\'t work, what else can I do? Getting quite annoying now...

T clamps are the way forward ;)

But i used good T clamps on my Fd and it blew the Stock pipe :( so i went for Hard pipes and it never happened again.
