Best Way to Tackle Self Inflicted Boost Leak
I know where it is. I recently had to bypass the melted fan plug issue that we seem to have. In the process I needed room to fit my tools and fat hands so I jacked with the SC plumbing. My question is this:
Is it possible to reconnect this hose from under the car without a lot of headache?
This is the connection in question from A&A install instructions:
Actual photo of mine:
Should be making 8.5 PSI but anything above 5 PSI is an effort like this.
Car is an 09 base with A&A kit. 3.8 pulley and 1 7/8 lt headers.

Yes, easy fix. Loosen clamp until it slides over pinched part and down the silicone tube a bit, wiggle silicone tube back over metal connecting tube, pull clap back over both and retighten. You can push up on 90 degree elbow and metal tube as one piece too, until the silicone tube. Theres some give in it. Shouldn't need to remove anything.
