After finding the clamp on my hot side intervooler hose loose I wanted to check the tightmess of the turbo outlet air hose. What is the best way to access the clamp? From the Left side after removing the Heat Shield? Right Side after removing my AEM Intake? If Right Side must I also remove the battery?

 

Is it that hard to get to??

 

right side. take out your intake and you should be able to reach it by hand. no need to remove the battery.

 

Like posted above it is located on the right (drivers side) of the car. You do not have to remove the battery. But if you want to do it right the first time, remove the battery and everyting else that might be in the way, remove the bolt holding the hard pipe in place, have to crawl under the car for this, loosen the clamp all the way, remove the hose from the turbo out put, useing a clean rag wipe any oil from inside the hose. using your finger, smear permatex copper, for high heat on the inside of the hose, will not damage any sensors, clean the turbo out let with a clean rag, reinstall and tighten clamp to specs. Do the same for the intercooler hot and cold sides as well as the Tb side. This will hold up to the pressure of a stage 3 kit or big turbo and never blow off.

 

if your coupler's are on correctly they shouldn't blow off anyway. that honestly sounds like a bad idea just to do the issue that if you do need to remove the pipes (which happens, mine have been off quite a few times), it will be extremly difficult and you're likely to rip the couplers when attempting to do so.
