[s-cars] Samco hose clamp ?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

You guys!  So Shawn calls me from the beach where he's vacationing  
with his family.  Car running like crap -- turns out the hose clamp  
was tight enough to bend the boost pipe at the intercooler end (don't  
ask me, I don't know how).  And he was getting a piece of pvc pipe  
from the hardware store to keep the boost pipe from collapsing  
further!  He has no internet service right now, so I hope all is  
well.  Wierd or what?

Any other suggestions?

Ingo
