After having repeated problems of hose blowing with one clamp two clamps and
everything else..................
I went to special heavy-duty hyd. Clamps, they are a bit big and will not
fit everywhere, but anywhere you can install them is one less trouble spot!
Take care,
Avi

Just a word of advice to all who venture into the land of "more boost."
CHECK YOUR HOSE CLAMPS!
I had tightened all of mine when I pulled the motor a few months ago till
the
clamps almost snapped, because I had one blow off a car about ten years ago.
Last night after spending about 30 minutes on my back in a restaurant
parking
lot reattaching the turbo to IC hose, I went home and double clamped
everything.
Not what I call "tidings of comfort and joy." I am somewhat grateful. At
least the temperatures were not the subzero stuff of the last week.
