My '94 Comm Ed convertible is shaping up quite nicely... I figured out my (lack of) boost issue, replaced alternator bushings so my belts don't squeal, replaced clutch slave, fuel pump o-ring, turbo bypass valve, new tires last weekend, etc, etc...
BUT I CAN'T GET THE INTAKE BOOT TO STAY ON THE THROTTLE BODY!!
I thought I had it clamped down and it was fine for a couple weeks but I was doing about 80 on the highway in pouring rain last weekend, stepped on the gas a little and I lost all power. I reattached it on the side of the highway and hobbled home but now every time I lay on the boost, "POW!!" it pops right off and the car dies. I just went and got a new hose clamp and really latched it down. But I'm still not confident. The boot looks kind of chewed up and I feel like it doesn't seat correctly. Does anyone know where I can find a new one?
Thanks.
