[s-cars] Turbo hose popped off at speed

[Christopher Gharibo]

Yes, I had been warned that this may happen after my ECU upgrade.
Unfortunately, getting Samco hoses is not as easy as just buying them and then
getting them installed.

At speed, I heard a hose blow off. The car still ran but lost about 90% of its
power. After dropping the belly pan, the popped of hose was clearly visible
and putting it back on with a new clamp fixed the problem.

I have several questions:

If the car is driven with the lower hose popped off, does it damage anything?
Engine, cat, etc?

Are there any alternatives to Samco that are readily available?

Thanks in advance.
Chris
