so i take the S in for an O2 sensor that was on back order, like forever.

i also tell them to swap the F-Hose while they are at it, and left them the part and clamps. i'm pretty certain my f-hose was toast. it had oil all over it and i was getting limp mode intermittently.

so they put the f-hose in and didn't bother to even look at the part they removed to see if was actually torn!?!?!?!

i pick up the car and drive home. WOW! i got mad boost again. i think it's my gauge, but i see peaks at 25 psi.

<is it even possible to get a peak of 25 psi with X-Chip and KO3's?>

so i'm like a kid with a brand new toy all the way home.

i get home, pop the hood to inspect the f-hose and the bastards forgot to replace one of the small hose clamps to the passenger side DV!

the hose was attached...but i'm sure it could hav been leaking very nicely.

Thats a vacuum line, it'll work fine without the clamp...

TRM

aaahhhh <sigh of relief> thanks George.

Still, go back and give the dealer hell. That would **** me off.

George @ BostonAudi

A small zip-tie is fine, but there are little teeth on the nipple, so the hose fits snug and is held on my the vacuum.

TRM

yep, i have a wire tie on it until i can get a proper size Oetiker crimp clamp

That's 1.7 bar, for your turbos' sake, I hope your gauge is off.

You shouldn't be going over 19 I believe. Be careful until you sort this out.
