In the past, I've had a boost hose blow off mid over take. And the waste gate rod come off. The boost hose was because I had some of the pipe work bleeding the clutch and thought I had tightened the clamp enough. Evidently not. The wastegate rod was because I wasn't making enough boost (peak or base) so I took it off to adjust and refitted it. I didn't have a clip to replace the old one that crumbled, so I used a cable tie. It fell off. Again, mid overtake. At least I didn't limp this time though, just ran very poor NA with the wastegate flapping. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
