Tom:

    Thanks for the response, although I'm a little late in responding.  
The epoxy and wire approach was something that did not occur to me, 
maybe because my dad was a plumber!  I did, however, install a piece of 
thin wall copper tubing in the outlet of the Bosch blowoff valve with 
epoxy, with the other end of the tubing pushed into the stock nipple on 
the accordion hose (with the stock clamp [only atmospheric pressure 
there]).  As an aside, the Bosch valve was of no use with a 57 trim 
CT26.  Had to install a Turbonetics Raptor to get rid of surge.  Also 
had to modify the valve for full opening, but that is a story already 
mentioned. 


    I finally installed the first piece of 2-1/4" steel tubing with the 
solder wire beads tonight before a couple of postings to the group.  It 
replaces the cast elbow in the connection from the turbo outlet to the 
intercooler.  Installation is not the easiest to do, because of the wire 
diameter, but it will hold due to the wire size without the use of T-bar 
clamps (limited in size range, problematic as the hose deforms over 
time, so I only have one at the turbo outlet).  Also made up a clamp 
formed from 1/8" strap iron and the gas torch to bolt to the frame 
bracket.  For now that is the only piece to be installed, since I'm 
considering a Spearco upgrade, and since the volume flow is highest at 
that point (it is the hottest).
