Boost Gauge

[GODFATHER]

I'M IN THE PROCESS OFF INSTALLINBG MY BOOST GAUGE AND I REMOVED THE RUBBER INTERCOOLER HOSE SO I COULD DRILL THE CAST TUBE.

NOW UPON RE-ASSEMBLY DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TO TORQUE THE BAND CLAMPS AT THE JOINT TO ? IF I OVER TIGHTEN WILL IT HURT THE RUBBER BY STRESS OVER TIME ? I'VE HEARD SOME FORDS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SEALING PROPERLY .TRUE?
I HATE TO HAVE ONE BLOW OFF .

when i buttoned mine back up, i tightened the clamps until they were snug to turn on the ratchet, then went 1/2 turn more, and no problems to date!

GREAT THANKS
BUT JUST TO MAKE SURE I WENT LOOKING AROUND AND FOUND THIS TECHNICAL INFO


THE HOSE IS MARKED FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION . TIGHTEN THE CHARGED AIR COOLER HOSE CLAMPS TO 6NM (53 INCH IBS) TO AVOID DAMAGE .

JUST DONT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF JUST GUESSING . WE ALL KNOW HOW DEALERS CAN BE . LAST ONE IN OWNS THE PROBLEM IF ONE SHOULD ARISE . THANKS ANYWAY .
