Default ttda/cda owners: where did you zip-tie up the hose that used to feed back to the airbox?

i made the mistake of leaving mine loose and it got chewed by the fan. i'd like to twist-tie it to something, but i don't want to pick something hot and have it melt. so, what's a good thing to zip-tie it to?

thanks!

Default Mine is snug behind the bettery, although I didn't secure it

Should check it and see if it's still ok.

I'd think tying it the the 1/2" hose right by it would be fine...

Default I have the battery cover off and looped a large zip tie through that.

I also clipped that a week or so back and it just hangs loose in the engine bay now, without making contact with anything.

Default Glad that you didn't run late, no problem meem

This is the hose I'm refering to [right next to the yellow star], I have my boost gauge hose zip-tied to it at several points with no problems whatsoever.

Default Hmm... Sorry to disappoint, but apparently, mine was re-routed recently...

Without me knowing about it.

Most likely when the transmission was out of the thing.

Now it seems to be much lower than it was previously, and I can't find the end of it to take a picture. Hmm... I hope it's somewhere good!!


Previously, I had it zip tied near the coolant temp sensor -- if that helps.
