I pull over and pop the hood and see the pipe hanging on just barely and the C clip was not lost! 2 day shipping for the new one so I'll get it Friday and hopefully be back in business. Just glad it didn't happen far away from home, I was literally 2 minutes from home and work. The night before I filled up on E85 and accidentally put more than I wanted to. Ended up with 5.5 gallons of E85 mixed with 91 on map 5. Wonder what the boost ran up to. Highest I've been is 17.4 psi.
Did the car feel stronger with extra e85? I have put in 5 gal on a couple occasions and have only logged 17.4 too.
