<VV> replacing turbo outlet rubber connector hose.

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

Standard hose clamps are fine. On a stocker, the pressure is less than 
a typical modern cooling system! Now, if you want to dress it up, 
that's another matter.

Thanks Mat!
That's what I thought. I just wanted to hear it from someone who "has 
been
there done that". I have new gaskets just in case.

New Question:

A neighbor with a turbo rice burner who "knows everything about all 
cars"
(you don't believe me, ask him, he'll tell you.) says that I can't use
standard hose clamps on the turbo output hose. They are not strong 
enough. I
saw two turbos at Ventura with them. I think he's wrong. The Corvair 
turbo
does not have the boost the he is running.

I ordered the listed correct new hose clamps from Clark's and they sent 
me
standard hose clamps instead of the stock type. I plan to use the 
standard
ones until I can find some "stock" ones. Are new "stock" ones available
somewhere? I like the looks but mine are all rusted up and bent.

What are your opinions?

I have found a crack in my rubber turbo output connector hose which I'm 
sure
is giving me a vacuum leak. I have a new one from Clark's. I plan to 
replace
it this weekend. What is the spacing between the turbo and the crossover
tube? Can I just slip the hose up and then off or should I plan to 
remove
the crossover tube or do I need to remove the turbo. Just in case, I 
have
all the gaskets that might be needed for either procedure. Is this a 
piece
of cake or an involved job?

Matt Says:

Approx. 20 min.   4 bolts at heads... 2 clamps at  hose...spray some
penetrant at each end and slice!

Rotate manifold to remove...  If no stuck / broken gaskets at  heads...
re-assemble.
