Ya I installed the SAMCO pipe today alone...Dammmmmm it went so fast... But what helped is taking off the plastic cowl vent and the steel shroud at the firewall.had it all together in about an hour, untill the Dammmm SAMCO hose clamp to the copressor housing started walking.And if I got it to stay in place,the clamp would walk...finally made a bar that I could pry with to hold clamp & hose in place...
Thought I was in the clear, untill the vaccum hose wouldn't go over the SAMCO nipple fitting. spent about an hour on that and decided to piece in a short brass fitting & hose...My knuckles aren't bad but my shoulder's are Numb... I only had ramps to do the JOB. All in All It's a GRAVY JOB...Now I need to get rid of that pancake pipe going to inercooler... UPsolute called, the software is in. but can't get to him till Saturday..."Directions were apprecieted"
