[s-cars] Samco GP???

Evening listers-

Hmm... curious to know how that Samco GP is going.  Reason I ask?  Gee, lucky
me, blew out my turbo outlet hose this evening @ just about 90k on the nose
(turbo down to crossover pipe).  Yay.  A feeble attempt was made to wrap it
in duct tape and heat gun it to, alas no result.

Anyway, I was one of the respondents to the GP inquiry, now I'm sort of in
the need of a fix.  Any thoughts as to a timeframe I might be facing?  Any
idea of how much it was going to run us?  I know you've been attempting to
pinpoint this and appreciate all your effort to date.  I'm just determining
what I should do; do I search for and buy a used hose knowing the Samco's are
coming?  Do I bite the bullet and buy the Samco's myself (reason I was asking
what price you'd be getting so I could compare how my source would fare)?  I
'think' he gets like 20% off @ ECS, for reference.

Help!

OK, it's late, and I'm growing desperate!  Argh.

The car runs fine until I hit 10 psi, then it starts an audible external
'whoosh' and power is weakened until 15 psi, then the whoosh is loud and it
gives up.  Knowing this, would it be bad to drive it and baby it like this
(not get into hard boost, it seems to run normal)?  Or am I definitely
damaging things?

Anyway, thanks for your time, I appreciate any feedback you / others may have.
