Hose came out of turbo! Someone help me taking intercooler out?
Hey, anyone here in Fremont can pls give me a helping hand? You can ask for anything in return that is within reasonable.
So, turbo to intercooler hose (under the top intercooler) , came off. My car cant go over 3k RPM now.
*(the left arrow hose came off)
I am having a hard time trying to get the hose back into the turbo, without having remove the intercooler first.
Can someone here in Fremont come help me out real quick just to insert the hose back into the turbo?
thanks!
edit: removed intercooler. installed hose. won't go pass 4k RPM. Might be in limp mode. Will reset ECU tmr and report back!

Just loosen the throttle body hose (next to your right arrow in the picture) as well as take out the 2 mounting bolts (on the left and right side of the TMIC). Wiggle the TMIC around to help you reach the y-pipe hose and you should be able to get it back on.

Also something happened earlier was, the CEL flashed for a few seconds when I am trying to hit above 4k RPM. Maybe misfiring? But the CEL went away as soon as I slowed down.
Right now, I can drive the car fine , just not above that said RPM.

Pull the code from the CEL first and go from there. No point in guessing.
It would also probably be a good idea to replace the factory plastic intercooler Y-pipe with some Samco hoses and T-bolt clamps.
