[urq] intercooler hose OOPS!!! my bad

[Justin]

OOPS!! The Volvo hose I listed earlier is NOT a perfect fit, I test fitted
again, and it's a "smidge" too small to fit the trottle body.  The other end
will fit the IC and it's about the same length and shape as the UR. It could
work, but an adapter like hose would have to be used....(like those straight
through rubber hoses that join two pipes together....)
Anyway  Here is a pic for proof...(attached pic)
Sorry guys!!
Justin

By the way, if anyone is in a local junk yard soon, take a look at the
Volvo 740 turbo's...they are packed full of all kinds of dandy turbo hoses.

> 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...
