So if that was the culprit, what did you do to fix it? Zip ties? Duct tape?

 

Zip tie! I found the hard line was touching the hood because the turbo inlet hose is so much bigger than stock.

 

Kool! Keep me posted of course!

Will do - thanks again! Just (impatiently) waiting for JSC Speed to get all the other ALTA parts back in stock. Don't worry, I'm not blaming either of ya'll.

 

oh man just found out both my parts are out-of-stock (again) with no ETA. This is painful!!! I ordered my CAI the 10th

 

Good to know. So did you ziptie it to the inlet tube or what?

I was thinking some foam insulation wrapping the line might be the route to take, as I don't think anything should be permanently attached to or touching the inlet hose.

 

Not sure what the long term solution will be, but for now I tie wrapped it to the inlet hose loosely. The hard line was barely touching the bonnet so hog tying it down was not necessary.

 

I don't have anything connecting or tethering my tube solid. (and mine doesn't rattle!) I agree it should NOT be hard tied to the inlet. My thought would be to use the zip tie, but go through the loop on the fresh air tube below. Allow some play, but not unrestricted movement.

Thoughts?

I agree & will give it a try.

 

Ah, nice. I'll try that this evening.

 

Problem solved. Seems during the install the installer (me) must have pulled on the hard line causing it to come slightly forward from the firewall.It was easy to guide it a little back through the one retainer (on the supply air tube) to it's original position. This lowered the line across the top of the big *** turbo inlet hose & rattle be gone.

 

bitchin!

 

YIKES, if I may ask, where are you ordering from??? That seems like way too long of a delay, especially since you already paid for it.

 

I actually received my turbo inlet hose an hour after I posted that, but the CAI is still somewhere else. I ordered right from the ALTA website. Don't let my experience scare you though; They have been nothing but helpful trying to get my stuff straightened out. I would order from ALTA again in a heartbeat. But now that I've had a taste, I want the whole shabang!!!

Eagerly awaiting my CAI!!!

 

WOOHOO, well congrats on the hose arriving; I want mine!!! No reservations whatsoever concerning ALTA, I know they're on top of things. Totally know how you feel - that's why I'm so eager to get my turbo inlet hose on. I feel how much power the CAI and boost tubes have reaped, so the hose will complete that. And once I get my turbo back exhaust and FMIC on... YIKES!

 

SORRY FOR THE DELAY!!!!

Sounds like you're doing exactly what I have planned. You will love the inlet hose! On my bone-stock R56 there is a noticeable difference. Probably the easiest way to bolt-on HP.

Also I want to repeat myself by saying how great Adam and everyone at ALTA has been in sorting out my stuff. Come spring I might as well sign my tax return check over to you I've got quite the shopping list...

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHA!!!!

 

Any news on when the boost gauge setup will be released?

 

Adam any package deals available for boost tubes and intake tube in the future? Just wondering since this seems to be the set-up to have!!!!!! Always glad to buy MADE IN AMERICA and as always "KEEP MOTORING"

 

+1

 

+2

package deals would be sweet!!!

 

Soon. (I know hate to keep hearing that right!?) Just little details, but I want it to be be perfect!

Hang tight! You know I will let YOU know ASAP!

 

I will GLADLY make some package prices. BUT lets do that off forum *(unless I do a group buy or something) E-Mail me adam@altaminiperformance.com include parts wanted, the shipping address and daytime tele. Will be in touch ASAP as always! Your business is appreciated!

 

Yep - basically have plans for every single bolt-on ALTA part available. Thank God I just got a better job - entire paychecks will be going over to ALTA at this rate. It's just the wait that's killinggg me, I want my inlet hose NOW! Patience... It's overrated. How I wish I lived in the NW. Are you planning to get the ECU tune as well?
