Must Do Mod

[IH8TOADS]

Today I changed all the ford rubber induction connections & clamps with proper turbocharger silicone style tubing and stronger stainless clamps. I don't have pictures but it is an essential mod.

I did this because the std rubber tubing split and ford have a back order on the part. So I bought some left over tubing from hiddeous and bought a little bit more from Hoseco on Kewdale Rd (Perth)...along with some clamps.

Three inch lengths of 76 mm (internal diameter) shiny blue turbocharger hose was $6.50. You need three pieces in total (require cutting down) which is only 20 or so bucks. Hose clamps were roughly 20 buck too......so for $40 you can change your hoses to ones that will never leak....wont split....and look REALLY neat.

The throttle body part was a bit difficult to get on. All you have to do it make sure you connect the hose to the throttle body first.

DO IT....I now realise I was loosing boost. Couldn't be happier

Cheers, IH8TOADS

envy-t did you get carried away with the stanley knife.

it appears that you have cut the smal hose between the two large ones.

was this by accident or on purpose.

Thanks for the pics Envy-T. I reckon I was definately down on boost (V. small amount) thanks to the ford connections. My BOV will now blow-off when I rev it at idle for some reason. I ran 5.6 psi on the dyno day with the ford connections. My connections had some serious splits in them and the clamps could not tighten fully.....they lasted less than 23,000kms.
