rodrigo Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Last night I installed the Samco Kit I got from Joseph a while back (thanks Joe!). Not too dificult to get in, pretty straight forward, but it took me a while little to figure out how to remove the panel that cover the top IC hose clamp (thanks Greg!)...much easier than I thought.I only installed the top from the IC and the bottom from the IC. Because my car is 2000 (yey ETM), the hose connected to the turbo pipe that comes over the head, and goes down into the bottom IC connection did not fit. The fsctory hose is pretty much straight, and the Samco has two bends that prevent it from sitting peoperly, so I plan on getting just a straight piece of silicone hose for it. Since it was getting late, I did not get into the heat shield removal and installing the little Turbo hose, and the TB hose, of course, does not fit (yey ETM).So, after all that, I went out for a drive to make sure everything was normal. Didn't really notice any difference, and even got pWn3d by a Caddy CTS! LPT AWD f3r da wh1N!think i need a chip <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHEIII874T5M Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Ah man, Rodrigo, I'm glad to hear you got it in... but dissapointed to hear that a couple of them didn't fit. Let me know if you would like to sell those extra pieces, 850 Turbo/98 S70 T5 owners desperately need that TB hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHEIII874T5M Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 One way is to back out the two bolts that hold it in on the side (forget the size... 10mm?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 yeah, I haven't installed that little turbo hose either....it'll get in there when I'm not lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigo Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 what was the trick for that clamp??Not sure what you mean about the clamp...if you remove the fuse holder panel on the rad support, you have access to the clamp on top of the IC, rmeove the skid plate, and you have access to the bottm IC clamps, and remove the intake pipe, and you should be good to get at everything else.
