new suction jet, now my hose is collapsing!

[sloweryucf]

Ummm,

So I installed a new suction jet and hose while I was at it and now there is so much suction the hose is collapsing, any ideas?

At first I thought I installed it backwards but it only goes on one way.

HELP! Bout to drive 300 miles and don't want my car to die.

WHICH HOSE??? U can cure it temporarily by putting a hose clamp or 2 in the middle of the hose and directly on top of where its trying to collapse. I used 3 on my cheap replacement boost hose.

Just glue your old one back together with pastic glue I and many others have done this

there may be another issue, since there should not be so much sucction, see if you connected everything well. netter safe than sorry! see if you have maybe a check valve inline near that may be defective or missing.

good call, do some more investigating around the engine bay.

I replaced all but one of the check valves. I checked that one though and it was okay. It's the hose coming off the intake manifold running into the suction jet.
