Boost fix/ic-tb hose amendment
First, my lack of boost was from another blown ic to tb hose. The leak was
a very sneaky one. I check it very regularly and finally the trouble
shows. It was brand new, too. Anyway, I fixed it by using the ic-tb hose
fix that I detailed a few months ago. The procedure is slightly different,
but actually may be a bit easier with the mc as opposed to the kh.
The diameter hose used is the same size for the mc as it is for the kh.
The only difference is to use a slightly shorter length to make clearance
for the intake temp sensor on the ic. On the tb side, I think it's safer
to put two WIDE hose clamps together rather than one long one to get more
pressure on the hose. After the triangle thing, there are longs "rails"
and they may not be able to clamp the hose properly. You're done.
re subject: IC-TB hose replacement.
Ask for instructions if you can't get 'em.
