[s-cars] Fw: Hoppen Stage IV - boost (or lack thereof)issue

[Jim McGee]

Marc,

I also have Eibachs & Bilsteins and I am getting tremendous wear on the
inside of primarily the front tires.  Is this something you are getting
too?  Can it be solved with the camber plates?  I know that this has
been discussed ad nauseum on the list, but I would like someone to
distill the information.  Are you using stock alignment?

I'd appreciate your help.  Also if you know of an alignment shop with
experience on these cars in the Denver area, that would be great.  I'm
buying tires today.

PROBLEM SOLVED - thanks guys - I re-checked the hoses b/w the intake
manifold and the firewall under the black plastic cover that is under
the
strut brace - one of the little hoses had popped off and was hiding
behind
the braket - I missed it the first two times - the visible one coming
off to
the left was fine, the one on the right side had blown off.   No turbo
failure yet - actually, I have been running high boost 20+ psi for over
100k
miles and the RS2 turbo seems to be going strong (knock on that woody).
