Re: 5000cs chugging, stalling, delayed restart

[rjandrew@post.cis.smu.edu (R Justin Andrews)]

Take your turbo to throttle body hose off. (very important do this!)
now, very carefully inspect the bottom side of the hose.
See the crack there???
Please note that you can not feel these cracks or see them with the
hose on the car. But this is very common problem and make the same 
symptoms all the time.
