Hello Martin:

1) How much vaccum CAN you get on the intake hose (Igloo to turbo), sucking
air through the CIS & Air filter? Can't be much, even when running full
power?
I thknk that the hose fails because of the relative movement between the
motor and the turbo, as the motor moves around.

2) Want to see a toated IC->TB hose? 
Feel free to take a look at mine! 
(And how I fixed it too. I wasn't going to pay 200.00!)   


It's not that hard to get another one of the hoses (in that I don't think
that they are that rare). Dealer says he can get me one, no problem. 

Why they seem to be 'hard to get', is that no one wants to pay over $200.00
for a hose!
