OK, I got a big old piece of silicone tubing from AutoHausAZ.
Question: I never see mention of clamps on these lines. Is it proper to install them on a 931 clampless? Seems like the Lindsey kit is clampless.
Question: I didn't get new "tees." Do the factory plastic tees work OK?
TIA for your insights.

I installed mine without clamps on the 941 with no issues. The factory tees work well with the 3-4mm silicone lines. On SONIC, when I was chasing down some vac leaks, I installed zip ties on the 4mm lines because I couldn't find clamps small enough. But I don't believe they are necessary. _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made |

On my other turbo cars, I've found that adding zip ties helps eliminate lines popping off, but then I think they might run slightly higher boost pressures than the 931's typically do. _________________ Stefan
