broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 1m 6d Gender: Male Posted 07/03/12 01:31 AM Share Posted 07/03/12 01:31 AM (edited) ok, I manged to get it done. it's clamped on by one of those clamps that once they are crimped they dont come off..it was crimped right at the base of the hose, I got the hose off and tried pushing it back on with the clamp.. wasnt happening. I was playing with the right part I believe. just much tighter than I thought it would be. I took it out for a quick burn around the block a few times and it's made quite a difference, it's much less hesitant to get on boost and just pulls like a train once the boost kicks in.Paulie: so your saying that your hose isnt crimped or clamped on? it just sits on there?

Pretty sure at there turbo end there's no clamp at all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember one thing. If all of a sudden your car feels like its got 400kw check this hose because it may have blown off. Hasn't happened to me but if you search the forum you will find a few people it happened to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have a heavy foot generally I actually drive like a bit of a nana.that clamp was on there, but there was absolutely NO way I was getting that hose back on with that clamp still on there.ive never felt 400kw but it definitely doesnt feel that quick haha Edited 07/03/12 02:13 AM by broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need is a fine flat head screwdriver to unclip it then use a pair of pliers to reclip it on afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
