1. see Sam's NOOB guide (
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54207) 1s image for the turbo to intercooler hose (it's the one with the woven covering just left of the tstat. The one from the intercooler to the FCV is barely visibile in the extreme lower right corner of the same image and the other end of this hose attaches to the FCV and can be seen in 4th picture below the right hand plug on the alternator. Chances are they are oil soaked and squishy in which case even if you cannot find holes they need replacing. Holes almost always are on the bottom and not visible unless you remove the woven covering and manipulate the hose. IMHO the best replacement is at
http://www.boostcontroller.com/index.php?category=328 . Pick your color and the cost is about the same as OEM but quality is much better. If you have the OEM clamps with a smooth inner (hose side) surface you don't need the Samco clamps although I got them anyway. FYI these hoses lack witness marks so be careful putting them on the make sure they don't rub on anything (twist as needed to clear) and be sure the intercooler clamps are fully on the plastic outlets and don't gozilla them down to avoid crushing the plastic. Run the clamps down snug and recheck in a few days.
2. turbo to air box hose tends to rot and tear on bottom just in front of turbo. See
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=60636 for pics and PNs. As above be careful on reconnecting to plastic airbox outlet to be sure the hose it touching the MAF sensor before tightening.
3. X2 on checking turbo wheel. May have slight amount of for/aft play (like thickness of a playing card or less) but no more than barely perceptible side to side play (just a hint of a feel or less)
