I have a quick question. The tube running from the turbo to the intercooler appears to be too short. About 3 months ago it separated from the turbo (at the first rubber boot). I reconnected it and really torqued the clamp down.

Last night it separated from the intercooler. (with a loud POP!) Fixed again.

My question is that it appears to be too short to allow for the engine movement under heavy torque. Is there a manufacturer that you would recommend that makes a tube that removes the rubber boots or is designed to handle the engine movement to a greater degree than the stock parts?

Thanks for your help, Mark

 

Mr. Bobs is an option

 

Wow, That is blue.

Have you used them? It seems like a pretty complete kit.

 

the OEM boots are very weak.............you need some aft mkt boots, the 2 you are talking bout are most suseptable

 

 

Ok DM. I see you have used them. Any problems since the install?

$519 is a lot of cash, but it is a complete kit.

Kevin, I found out the hard way. The first time I didn't know if I was going to make it home. The truck ran like crap and the EGT's went through the roof getting up my driveway.

I definitely need a fix.

I'll see about getting Mr Bob's on Monday. Thanks much.

Anyone else found a different manufacturer I should look at?

 

do a request from our vendors and you may be suprised

 

BD makes a kit and a few others , the MR.Bobs is all the coolent hoses and ect you really dont need all that just the boost boots and spring clamps

 

I put a quote request out.

I don't mind doing all the pipes. It's probably not a bad idea.
However, with Christmas just around the corner, I'm thinking I should keep the spending to a minimum. (at least on things for me.)
