Default What are signs of a bad f-hose?

I've already replaced my TBB also put in 710s, everything is running fine now. I did have a 2 inch tear in my TBB SO much better now. The only other thing I have not replaced that seems to cause major issues is the F-hose.

What are signs its bad, for future reference.

Low boost levels, or your car feeling sluggish.

usually it will be ripped and you won't necessarily be able to see it until you remove it

How can you tell if it's the F-hose or bad gas?

Default IMO, the only way to really rule out a broken F-hose is to remove it...........

You can rule out bad gas by taking 2 BEANO capsules, if your belly feels better, it was probably the gas.

Default LOL. true...

Also, the absence of any odd smells would rule out gas, but will try the BEANO capsules.
