I had the same issue the first time I did this. I yanked on the elbow too
hard and it broke. I was able to get it out with a combination of needle
nose pliers and a screw driver. I took the screwdriver and wedged it
between the elbow and the hole that its sitting in, essentially crushing
the elbow in until I could get the pliers in there. I was at it for a few
hours and it was no easy task, the elbow has a metal lining. Let me know if
that makes sense, I don’t want you to have to pay that $330.
So I was doing this and my lower elbow was rotten, and broke with a clean
break leaving the connector still in the hole, but almost no hose left to
grab on at all. Any suggestions on how to work the remaining piece out. I
worked on it for about two hours using a long nosed needle nose, but I have
not had any luck in moving it at all. The c clamp was removed completely
first. I’m open to suggestions as I am trying to avoid the 330 dollar labor
cost for install at a dealer that I was quoted.
I had taken off the OEM hoses because they were all cracked and dry rotted
and replaced them with 3/4in heater hose. I had capped off and re-routed
the intake manifold vacuum to try and stabilize my boost (I have a GIAC X+
Tune). Needless to say, the heater hose kinked and was getting frozen and
clogged in the winter, and re routing the vacuum line had adverse effects.
Since going to to the 034 kit car has been running and boosting great.
Hi, What was the setup before you replaced with 034 kit? I noticed it
wasn’t standard. Was the intake manifold vacuum capped off?
You’re welcome, glad I was able to help!
Great quality video, thank you. It help me a lot
