To prevent the hoses from blowing off the best solution is to use a Corbin Clamp... Subaru uses them on the small overflow hose from the turbo coolant tank, for example. These clamps are the ones you pinch to open, slide onto the hose, put the hose back on the nipple, then slide that clamp onto the nipple portion of the hose. Some people zip-tie the hoses... these can and have failed as the zip-tie is not a dynamic clamp that adjusts to the aging hose. The Corbin style clamp is the permanent failsafe solution. When you work on the engine you loosen these hoses because you move them. Thus, because installing the BP Mod requires removing the TMIC, the one inaccessible hose is disturbed and should be clamped. Even if you didn't do it then, it is still a good idea to clamp the numerous hoses attached to your intake manifold. One hose, the Fuel Pressure Regulator sense hose, is far more problem if it comes off... if this hose blows off you will likely need a new engine. It is easy to get to, on the end of the IM on the driver's side. Clamp your hoses, and if you have a T in your boost control, do the same. All these hoses are thought of as "vacuum" hoses, but they also see boost.

Also, that is just one of the many that can/will fail and cripple/kill your car. Here is one thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthrea...ipple+BPV+hose Quote:
If you see a little hose and it doesn't have a clamp, put one on. That's far better than a crippled car that forces you to work on it now, or worse. |

firstly, thanks to Seeeeeya for this great idea and hosting the plans for this kit over on that lgt forum. i plan to make this myself, but i have a question:
what is the benefit of the ss zip tie fastening method over the bolted together method? is it just for looks and lgt engine cover clearance? or is there other functionality i am missing? i tried to read through that 27 page thread on the lgt forum, but it was ultimately making me a worse person. |

Functionally, there's not really a benefit for doing zip ties or regular hardware. Both will achieve the same end result.
I do like the zip ties because they provide a cleaner looking install and you will have zero clearance issues with the bpv hose, engine cover, or other areas. The only real concern that I have seen using standard hardware is at the BPV hose. |

This kit I bought uses the stainless straps. I borrowed the cv boot tool from my local Autozone to tighten down the straps. I accidentally over tightened and ruined one strap but there were three in the kit. Highly recommended mod to allow modding to be done without worries of end tank failure.

Anybody know who might sell the stainless steel zip ties? Auto Parts stores? Home Depot? ... I already ruined 2 of my 3. I didn't realize I needed a special tool until it was too late.

There's also McMaster-Carr if you can wait a couple days, they would likely have the proper length for the job. They have ties in lengths up to 42". Last edited by gregroot198521; 03-05-2013 at 08:38 PM. |

Yup, still making them. I really only update that page as needed to indicate whether they are in stock or not The thread over on legacygt.com is more current with updates. The site is also setup to prevent purchase if I don't have them in stock. I don't want any payments coming through if I can't ship out withing 24-48 hours.
They're in stock at the moment, and while I try to avoid running out of them it looks like I might unfortunately miss the boat this time--need to get some more made up! |

Just got mine in the mail. I'll throw it on this weekend. Reason I'm doing it is because I'm at about 300whp right now and I figure 90 bucks is nothing to keep everything together until I buy a verticooler
