[urq] Overboost Problem

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Aha! I don't think either of mine ('83 and '84) had the hose. I do believe
some of the primitive (read simple) wastegate controls (non-factory --
schrapnel knobben?) routed a hose to this fitting as well.

Ken, do you have the original PDF copies of the introduction and service
manuals for the Urq? If not I suggest you download them from Martin Pajak's
website. I don't have the address handy right now.
