After a few attempts at finding the cause of a major boost leak (replaced s=
everal boost lines around the ECU, the Michelin man hose) I now have my Big=
Green Monster back. Per Shawn's suggestion, it was the hose that connects=
from the lower turbo to the plastic I/C x-over pipe that was blown so bad =
that I could drive a truck thru it. Much love goes out to the guys at Blau=
fergnugen. My first attempt to fix the leak led me to the Michelin man hos=
e that was blown in 2 places. When I called around (the whole country) a we=
ek ago, nobody had the hose in stock. I called Blau on Friday 3pm and inst=
alled it by 12 noon Saturday--$102 including Sat delivery. Fast forward 1 =
week: I called Blau again, this time I waited until 5:35 eastern and they =
had the lower hose I needed in stock and could still ship it out for a Satu=
rday am delivery. At 6:20 eastern, Jim w/Blau called me back to tell me th=
at he held the Fedex driver up until he could call me back to confirm the c=
redit card number. I had just made a large purchase on the card I used for=
my part and didn't have enough room left on the card--I gave him another c=
ard and sure enough, by 12 noon today the hose was installed and my boost g=
remlins had left the building (for now). The guy at Blau knew that I had t=
o go out of town on Monday and really came through for me--and was way chea=
per than my wholesale discount at the local dealer. Thanks to those that r=
esponded--
