so the problem why i wasnt able to boost over 11psi is because my turbo inlet hose is ripped. my car is running really crappy right now due to the leak. its also making me run very rich causing CEL's to come on.. im asking PLEASE i need someones hose TODAY since i will be changing it out tomorrow.. hopefully someone that has changed theirs out to a samco or whatever.. ill either buy it from you or ill replace it.. i have 2 people in mind which i will be giving them a call but for now, call me up. thanks 277-7037 myron

 

Myron.

Sorry to hear about the problem... However If you replace it with the samco version it will be a little easier to replace.

Don't even consider any perrin product since all the cars that I've worked on or helped on that had perrin products had minor to major fitment issues or something needed to be modified. (this is just my personal opinion)

there can be some downfalls to upgrading to a silicon inlet hose though...

if you upgrade your turbo to a bigger one it can collapse the inlet hose causing problems.

for the current turbo you have (VF34) it should be ok.

let me know if you need help!

I knew it! I had that same problem before. How did you find out?

^LOL. ya ed, and friend that was checking out my car didnt have any more ideas on what the problem could be.. then he checked out the clamp thats holding it in place and wa la, ripped hose.. so yeah, gonna try find a replacement one today.

Sorry can't help ya there bud.

 

problem solved. Hope the install goes without delay. I'll stop by if Im not fishing tomorrow.

 

hey just wanna say much mahalo to ralph.. dude, where you go fishing at?

 

It's good to hear problem solved. VF series turbos won't suck (hehe... I said suck) enough air to caz the silicone inlet hose to collapse.

 

I go all over. I just got back from a molokai trip this past weekend. Most the time you'll find me out at barbers point. Good luck on the install.

 

glad you got that problem solved.
