Default Anyone in Boston area can lend me a hand ASAP? IC hose came loose while on vacation..

A nice guy, Noah, has offered some help. But just in case he can't come through with the help, will any of you in Boston lend me a hand and some tools?

Situation: went WOT in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Pooooshhh in 4th. Lost power.

Car still drives fine and all, but whenever making over 5psi, driver side fender area has that wooosh noise.

Have since turned the boost down (MBC) and disconnected the MAF and stay off boost. Drove 70 miles into NYC after the incidence, and then, another 4.5 hrs from NYC to BOston tonight.

So, probably will need a floor jack, a jack stand, and tools to take the belly pan and headlight off.

Default If it's the lower hose, a quarter, flathead screwdriver and a curb are the tools you need.

Hopefully you haven't lost the clamp! Stock is 50-70mm IIRC..

I popped mine off while passing a truck at the base of monarch pass, had it back on and repassed everyone that went by me while I was working on it before I got to the top

Default I hoped that was obvious :P

Though I suppose the curb could be used in other less time effective methods


I did it in some nice farmers front yard once, straddled the ditch in front of his house. His wife even sent one of the kids out with a rag to wipe the pipe and hose with.

I do have a new clamp now, after it popped off 4 to 5 times and I saved it when it was close at a few oil changes. Thanks piggie! No thanks audi!
