[s-cars] My Samco Saga! The easy25 step process for installing Samco Hoses

[chris chambers]

Well I almost getting myself talke out of my samco hoses! I am glad I
decided to keep them becasue the michelin man hose sprung a leak, not
so bad as to cause errors, but bad enough to lose boost.

My 25 step process for installing Samco the hoses is as follows:

Step 1. Without letting car cool down decide to remove the throttlebody
to intercooler hose first,

Step 2. After removing hose seek out cold refreshment to cool thyself
off.

Step 3. using water lubriacte both ends of hose, get the intercooler
end on first and then proceed to put throttle body end on while pulling
intercooler end of hose off!

Step 4. Cuss

Step 5. Repeat Step 2. and seek out a cold drink.

Step 6. finally get all ends of the hose on and proceed with clamp
installation.

Step 7. discover that the clamp for the intercooler end of the hose is
tight, too tight to be put on by hand.

step 8. repeat step 4. but yell this time.

Step 9. decide to go on to other hoses, it has to get easier!

Step 10.lower X over pipe and remove the turbo to cross over pipe hose.

Step 11.lube the hose ends with water and install hose and clamps!

Step 12. Celebrate

Step 13. remove michelin man hose and determine it has a hole.

Step 14. proceed to install new michelin man hose using water to lube
the hose.

Step 15. install clamp on X over pipe end of the hose.

Step 16 discover the clamp for the other end of michelin man hose is
short.

Step 17. Cuss, pace, and seek out a cold drink.

Step 18. ponder moving the car out of the sun and into the shade;
disregard this foolish notion.

Step 19. Purchase a specialty tool to assist in installing clamps (a
very large adjustable wrench)

Step 20. Using wrench squeeze clamps closed enough to allow
installation of nuts.

Step 21. Overtighten nuts squeezing clamp off of hose.

Step 22. repeat Step 20

Step 23. Tighten nuts and celebrate!

Step 24. Seek out cold drink!

Step 25. Take a ride and enjoy the return of boost.
