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
