Default Turbocharging in harst conditions

Well I have been ice racing my CRX with a turbo for the last couple weeks. It is dead fast, but I'm having troubles finishing the races. I have had the turbo clamp lossen up, my adapter fell apart(my fault),Aeroquip line failed. Everyone that I race with is giving me ---- because they don't think it can work, because of the heat-cold, vibrations, and running wide open for a long time. I really need some encuragement to keep working at this. Or else I'm going back to N/A and running mid pack.

BTW, in April Monster Garage will be showing our ice racing. Look for a bright orange CRX #31 running up front

Sorry guys, the clamp holding the turbo together. Not the hoses, I check those every night after racing.
