Hey guys reliase that those are different hoses... The EVO ones we sell and install are from the y-pipe to the intercoolers, the ones Gemballa sell are an intake plenum like the scargo one...

Hauling *** on the 101 today, I blew a boost tube off when I was making 1.1 bar on my way to work. So I had to get out of the car in an Italian suit and reconnect that bastard so I could make it to work driving like a grandma and making no boost so it wouldnt blow off again. I have some stronger hose clamps that are on order, anyone have any other suggestions to remedy this situation... Im sure many of us have had this problem, it can be quite annoying when it happens at the wrong time.

have you tried wearing shorts and a t-shirt?
