How common is it for this hose to go?
So I definitely have a boost leak. Visual inspection of Michelin Man hose showed no problems. Airbox to Turbo hose looks ok too, and intercooler to Intake Manifold is fine. So hose #12 is the one I haven't checked yet...

Either that, or something else is up.

Not common, but that is the one I gave away :(
Do you have a plastic x-over pipe? What about the IC itself?
My plastic x-over had a crack in it causing a leak. It was right where the tab attaches to it.

I've blown that hose...
Both on the turbo coldside outlet and the crossover pipe inlet side. The hose itself is fine. Just needed to be refitted over the flange and tighten down the clamp... I got Samcos.
20 mins of near continuous full-boost will show if your car has a questionable intake system real quick. =)

my x-over is metal with metal IC... I guess I gotta take that hose out and check it
thanks again for taking the time to look for the n75 and michelin man for me yesterday. I am going to hold off on this stuff until I check that hose.
