I also put on a brand spanker new 4" pod filter which would have helped too, but even in the warmish weather today it feels much stronger than normal Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/47/#findComment-1198929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 6m 6d Gender: Male Posted 07/03/12 12:25 AM Share Posted 07/03/12 12:25 AM well ive been at mine for 3hrs now. was impossible to get off. that took about 20mins. ive spent the last 2 and a half hours trying to get it back on! even went and bought another hose clamp because the stock one came off and im having no luck getting it back on. the hose clamp I bought is also way too big so it doesnt really work either. thankfully ive got another car I can pick things up with. but my first attempt that this is proving very frustrating 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/47/#findComment-1206873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just slide the hose off and push it back on. Maybe on an older car its easier or you may be disconnecting the wrong hose.
