Hi Y'all,
Climbing onto the boost this morning the car went "BANG!!!" and power
disappeared. Yup, blew off a hose. :-(
I spent the next half hour jacking up the front of the urS6 so I
could get under it at the side of the road (well, actually I managed
to limp into a bank parking lot) and pulling the belly pan.
Yup - sure enough, the turbo ---> crossover hose was off the
crossover pipe. Simple repair except for one small problem - there
was no way to loosen the clamp so I could put it back on over the
Samco hose/crossover junction. I did, however, manage to screw up
the old T clamp enough to make it unusable even if I could have
opened it up. I need a replacement T clamp.
IIRC, I got the one I just screwed up from ECSTuning but I don't find
a suitable replacement part in their on-line catalog.
So - where do I find a good replacement hose clamp these days?
Bob
