[urq] intercooler hose OOPS!!! my bad

Wed Mar 24 15:58:15 EST 2004

Still haven't gotten an answer on this -
I had asked if this Volvo hose has the small "T" off the side that goes to
the back of the IM and connects with the big mess back there.  I think any
rig-job substitute will need this - hence the reason nobody has yet to find
a substitute to the factory Intercooler to IM (TB) hose.  Gotta pay the
piper on this one...
