Look for Audi part # for the clamps that used on the Diverter valve? I think there are two clamps

P. Bauer

you reuse them, or use nylon zip-ties. It's vacuum, it won't pop off.

I really don't recommend them...one use only clamps IMHO.

The valve comes up out of its lower tube by about 1/2 an inch - the screw tie is pretty tight but under heavy boost 23+ psi the valve seems to come up .5in and i lose about 3-4psi - I am using TT valves but I guess I should switch to metal ones that can be clamped against tighter? Any other thoughts to keep it sitting down tightly. The DV's get a little oily and I guess the sliperyness of them creates this problem. Any thoughts?

For each diverter valve, there are 3 clamps. -2- larger ones for boost-related hoses, and -1- small clamp that is one-time-use. The other two clamps can be reused.

One-time-use clamps (Oetiker) can be bought at the dealer. Just ask them to show you all the sizes they have. Be ready to explain in detail what clamp you are talking about, the parts dept. hires monkeys! You will also need end-nippers to close these clamps. (the smaller the better)

This shows the clamps and end-nipper for an F-hose replacement.

vacuum and pressure...pretty much from manifold.

If you need a lubricant to install the DV, use a little bit of soapy water. That's it.

what should I use to clean the hose?
