Finished off my passenger side Samco upper IC hose along with TCarbon FMIC and Samco intake hose
Was up mod'ing late last night. That intake hose is a b!tch to get out.

Had to trim the grills and the driver's side "alien" mount a little to get the hoses to clear.
Also, did a boost leak test while I was at it. Found a small leak at my dv hose at the entension from the relocation, and another small leak at my boost gauge "T"; fixed both.
Then at about 14-15psi, another leak turned up:

The hose right under that arrow (about 1" wide) is leaking around the clamp. Not sure if the hose is damaged or if it's just a loose clamp; it's one of those one time use clamps. Didn't feel like taking more stuff apart to get at that hose, so I'm getting CPO to cover it. This probably explains why my boost levels drop to around 15 psi so quickly. Hope fixing this does the trick.

We found quite a mess under there...>>
When we took Han's car apart a few weeks ago. Replaced the "T", PCV valve, and reclamped...
Since it's on the crankcase side it really doesn't qualify as a "Boost" leak as such unless some of the upstream Check valves are bad. Probably won't have much of an affect on that issue depending on what's busted....

Pic before dissasembly...>
Ultimately the hose going left attaches to the end of the manifold for a VAC/Boost source.
Several check valves etc. in that rat's nest...
