WTF? boost does distributor damage...

[corylang@dccnet.com (Cory Langford)]

On my mk1 I did the same thing (use J tubes and U bends to make my own),
what I did was use an exhaust expander (the hand type) to expand the end a
little.  Not too much or you can't get your silicone connector over it :)

Not as good as a true flange, but seems to work okay.
