Title: Re-attaching turbo hose
Post by: TIGER-UPPERCUT on September 27, 2012, 10:38:26 pm
Hi guys, I have taken off my induction kit and gone back to standard engine cover airbox.

Ive put the standard pipe back onto the turbo inlet however I cant for the life of me get that spring hose clamp back on!

how do you do it?!! :fighting:

You could leave it off and use a jubilee clip instead. If you must have the spring clip back on then you'll in all likelyhood need a clip clamp tool.

Ive just tried jubliee clip today, got it round the bottom of the pipe but not enough room to tighten it with screw driver and hold it in place aargh!

Is there an easy way to do this?

Can some stuff be moved out of the way easily?

If you're prepared to do the dirty work then come over and you can use my flexible  :evilgrin: extension to tighten up the jubilee clip.

I simply fitted a jubilee clip and positioned it so the face of it was pointing towards the drivers side and there should be plenty of room for a screwdriver.

Bacillus I won't be bothering you mate. I was booked in at Prosport to get my divertor changed and ecs dog bone mount insert fitted. James put the spring clip back on in 30s lol. He used a a special tool flexible clamp thing.
