[200q20v] Re: LOWER INTERCOOLER HOSE SOURCE

[Claus Vegener]

Yes Bernie
I am using stainless, wide clamps from a marine supplier
and  use socket wrench as tool.
But the space to use it at the turbo pressure outlet
is a problem.
I have had 2 blown hoses at the inner side og the
first bend before the blow-by outlet.
I think, that new engine mounting suspension could be
helpfull too
