When I'm driving under boost normally in 2nd or 3rd gear my damn rubber hose going from the turbo in to the stock intercooler pops off. Standard FC TII. Anyone have any suggensions for a better clamp or a different hose. This is starting to piss me off!!! And it scares the **** out of me when it happens.



Thanks,



Matt

Get a silicon coupling that will fit over both the rubber hose and the steel pipe leading into the IC...then get some tighteners and fasten it on, this sometimes works, but you may just wanna go FMIC :yum:

Get some t-bolt clamps as well.

Silicon Coupling?? Where do I get that from? WHat does it look like?



FMIC? Full Metal Intercoller???

What sizes would you need for stock applications?

VII13B 12-08-2002 06:17 PM

I don't know. Ill have to measure it.

1Revvin7 12-08-2002 06:23 PM

yeah and s4 and s5 intercooler in & outlets are different sizes also. So one size does not fit all.
