I just talked to a fellow UrQ owner today (not on the list) and he said 
that he cut off a section of the hose in order to get rid of the kink.  
This would seem to jive with your observation of maybe your hose being 
pushed up too far on the intercooler pipe.  It would seem that maybe the
hose was designed slightly too long - (and maybe fixed in '85, Glen?)
