Help - 200TQ big boost leak on trip

[Kurt Deschler]

I pulled off the lower intercooler hose and it did have a large tear that 
was hidden from view. I superglued it and reinfiorced it with some rubber 
on the inside. It should hold until I get back to Massachusetts. Car seems 
to be running fine now. This hasn't failed yet on my 87 but I will be sure 
to get 2 as a preventative measure. I wish worldpac would carry this part.
