IE the small hose that goes to the top nipple. This is the 2nd time mine has split!! and this time it only took it a week to completely break in half and tear off.

I've tried several different types of clamps that arnt supposed to 'cut' into the hose... OEM style, smooth worm drive with rolled edges.... This time I wrapped the hose with friction tape and then again with electrical tape so 'hopefully' it stays together a bit longer anyways....

If not I got some HD fuel line (the kind with the fiber layer in the rubber) to replace the factory hose with... but sheesh!!!

what a PITA

starting to look like its worth the effort<ul><li><a href="http://jbipes.home.comcast.net/ttr/quickconnect.html">bipes quick disconnect</a></li></ul>

...and it works great, no vac. hose probs. at all.

Here they are:
1" hose from turbo exit to DV - 2x
3/8" hose from turbo exit - 2x
Hose to top of DV - 2x
Hose from N75 to Wastegate - 1x

I have put black reinforced high pressure fuel type hoses on each and have not had a problem since. On the smaller hose coming from the turbo exit I slid a heavy duty spring over the hose where it will make a sharp bend to prevent it from kinking.

I do plan eventually to replace all these with silicon hoses.

I am also going to relocate my DV to the cold side of my FMIC as time allows.

i was referring to the different approach your setup has vs what the s4 guys are saying is "the" solution.

it seems with the TT setup you are tunning the regulator in series with the n75 and with the s4 setup it is in parallel with the n75.

any input on the differences?

Might be an interesting experiment. Parallel channels, one Pneumatic, one electronic...Seems the boosted air would default to the circuit with the least resistance...Thinking about it, the performance differences may not be much different...

ModifiedA4

the S4 way only limits overboosting. the path of least resistance is the n75 until the regulator sees enough pressure and lets that through to the wastegate.

your way seems to keep the waste gate closed until the specified boost is reached, at which time the regualtor opens and allows the n75 to take over.

correct?
