Protune try to coordinate with spec ops, they should be able to get you on the right track.

Just learned why everyone prefers t-clamps over screw clamps. Because it's a bitch trying to get a screwdriver into tight places, and it can't be done quickly when it starts to rain out of nowhere and you get soaked.

 

[Undecisive]

You still need to get a nutdriver or socket for the T-clamps. The reason most people like them is because then they are tight they don't chew the hoses like standard hose clamps.

this one is on the hose from by bov to my turbo inlet, bov side. cant get an angle on the head and when I flipped around for a better angle the tps is in the way.

You can always remove the TPS, undo the clamp, and then reinstall the tps. If you don't want to do that, Have you tried turning it down and trying to get to it from under the car?

I swear Subaru techs had their heads up their ass' when the designed the layout of how some the components are placed.

 

[Z1107]

Bought the most convenient clamps at autozone today, EZ clamps. No tools required just your hands.

 

[Undecisive]

Never heard of them.

 

[Z1107]

I'll post some pics.

 

[Z1107]

Here you go. EZ Clamps, they live up to their name.

Here you go. EZ Clamps, they live up to their name.

Yep them are easy.

Got it on ez to find that the boost leak is coming from under the intercooler.

 

[Undecisive]

Did you get it fixed? was the tmic not seated properly on the hose?

 

[Z1107]

No I am going to take it off today when I get off work and go through all the hoses and reattach and clamp them down.

 

[Undecisive]

Alright keep us posted.

 

[Z1107]

Got off work at 1530 and planned on removing the intercooler to find this leak but it started pouring rain so thats been put off, but I did manage to do a full tune up on my John Deere lawn tractor, so it wasnt a complete loss.

 

[Z1107]

So with the exception of the spoiler I think I'm going to keep the exterior stock, wanna make the car a sleeper.

 

[Undecisive]

Don't forget a nice set of wheels!

 

[Z1107]

Actually while Im putting the funds together for some Konigs, my friend was going to powder coat my stock wheels matte black for me at his shop for free, what do you think?

 

[DKDunn04]

I would just keep them silver. The black stock wheels is pretty overplayed.
