I was Crusin around town just enjoying the California weather. As I am leaving a stop sign I take it up to about 5k and hit second and POP..... cars dies immediatey after. I let it sit for a few seconds and start it and it starts. Then I take off and after about half throttle it flutters and dies again So I pull it over and get on the phone with ST to see if they can help me figure out the problem ( big thanks to those guys at ST Motorsports again becuase they are always there). They give me a few pointers and told me to get it in the air to see if there is a hose that came loose. Being as I was right around the corner from my house I just limped it home. Once I get it up I inspect the intercooler and the dam rubber elbow that connects to the intercooler popped!! I was pretty excited that it was something small and I would be able to fix it myself.....So heres my question....Where can I order that rubber hose? I was thinking superchargeronline but I couldn't find it on there page and they are closed. Thanks

Is that what you were looking for?

 

I am glad too thanks. Right after I heard the pop I thought my engine blew, and then I though, oh ****, another 5k

 

Sort of, I need the rubber elbow that connects to that pipe. Thanks

 

Whoa I was worried when I saw the title of this thread...... glad it's nothing major.

 

Call Darin at http://www.racepartsolutions.com/

 

I'd also look into some t-bolt fasteners. Something to hold all the piping down. Glad to hear it was nothing serious. I was worried for a second.

 

Adam,
Good to hear it was not serious.

the t-bolt fasteners... were do you get those ?

 

I think this could have partically been my fault also though. Right before this happened I made a wrong turn and ended up on a back road with a bunch of speed bumps. I went over the first speed bump ( thinking i would be ok) and I think the intercooler pipe hit pretty hard. Went over the second one at a different angle with similar results. Then my only option was to go in the dirt ( which was pretty dam bumpy), so i went back out in the dirt the same way I came and theeeeeennnnnn came to the stop sign and POP! Stupid back road with a million speed bumps

 

I will call tommorow, thanks

 

I know, I did that purpose

 

Man, when I read the post, I thought, now it comes... Good it is nothing serious! You should also be able to find it at i.e. www.summitracing.com.
