1994 2.5TDi Discovery. For some reason, the pressure hose from the boost side of the turbo to the injector pump keeps blowing off at the turbo (with a significant drop in performance, as the pump is not delivering enough fuel) - anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

The turbo end fitting ( A piece of hose on the barb end with the turbo boost tube pushed in the other end and secured by spring clamps) is a little iffy at best. I've replaced mine by unscrewing the barb fitting, removing the piece of rubber hose, and using a push fit air connection (Pirtek) directly onto the plastic tube. Use some threadlock as well.
