Dave (& Steve) and other turbo users.... Triple check you're hose connections from turbo to intercooler. I had another "incident" this morning. Pretty much a non-event, but I'll report it so others can avoid it. Climbing out at 800 ft at 6:45. Sun just coming up. Air nice & cool and I'm thinking - "this is what it's all about" when the ZZZZZZ changes to zzzzz and I'm down to 3000 rpm AGAIN. I knew what the problem was even before I took the cowl off. There's a good indication right there that I knew there was a problem and didn't fix it. The turbo hose had blown off AGAIN. That's three times now. You'd think I could get it right in two. :( I'd had ribs made in the ends of the pipes to hold the clamps on, but the ribs are 1/2 inch from the end. I have [had] a 2 inch silicone connector and there wasn't enough hose left for the clamp to get a good grip. I "thought it was ok". Should have known better. The clamp slid off then end of the hose and pouf - not enough intake air. So... where can I get a 3 inch silicone hose on memorial weekend Saturday?
