Can anyone help...???

I've fitted a K27 turbo to my 930 & also a bigger intercooler, the problem being that I have the standard intercooler hose fitted. This was fine for about a week then it started (excuse the bad choice of words here) blowing off the turbo. The outlet is bigger than the old turbo & the standard clip just isn't strong / large enough to hold it in place.

Is there an adaptor I can get for this as the outlet, on the turbo at least, is larger. It has been suggested that I try replacing with a Silicone pipe as the expansion rate is far less than the 'rubber' one. Has anyone had any experience with this

Can anyone offer me any advise on this or point me in the the direction of someplace I'd be able to purchase the piping, an adaptor or a good sized clip thingy...

Am hoping to get this resolved by this time next week for a trip to the Cotswold. Here's hoping.

Talk to Bob Watson, the Turbo Register technical adviser (01869 237508); he knows all about making Turbo's go - and stop - reliably.
