[urq] intercooler hose

[Ed Kellock]

On the urq, that would be the IC to throttle body hose.  I read Justin's message to mean that the IC-TB hose for the 740 is the same as the IC-turbo hose on the urq.  Maybe that was wishfull thinking...

Interesting...does it also have the "t" that splits off and goes back
