[urq] Intake Hoses

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Aw, Sh!!!t

Eric,

You likely missed the "things to bring with you on road trips" (or something
like that) from last year.  I can't say wrt samco hoses et al, but for
on-the road repair, I highly recommend Tommy Tape -- a self-vulcanizing tape
that you wrap numerous times around the hose and onto itself.  Worked for me
last year at the 20 year quattro club celebration at BIR in Minnesota -- got
me back to Michigan at up to 10 lbs boost (didn't try higher) - 12 hr trip
through the Upper Peninsula (don't want to break down there).  Also sold
under WRAP FIX brand.  Of ten in electrical tape section at hardware store.
Found mine at ACE hardware.  Made by Duck (Henkel Consumer Products).

HTH
