got my "T" TBB
 

They have them in stock (or at least did) at Andersen-Behel in San Jose. Couldn't get the big clamps though.

Boy, this thing is hefty, I can't imagine it blowing out. What is Audi doing wrong?

I do have a question: the inside is full of burrs and junk. I figured I'd trim the burrs and clean it in alcohol to remove the mold-release compound and extra hangers-on. Seem like a good idea?

I don't want bits falling off the inside and entering my engine.

Don't know if using alcohol on rubber is a good idea...

yea...so far those new large clamps seem to be vaporware...has ANYONE seen one?

Think its a bad idea because of the drying effect? Perhaps you are correct.
