I drove my '89 around for months with a seezed turbo without any problem other than it was really s l o w. A leak is another matter. Any intake leaks should be fixed asap. Hoses are always available from ebay and you can usually pay with a bank check.

Which hose is torn?

Driving it with a boost leak will hardly work. New hoses aren't THAT expensive.

As a temporary fix. remove hose & clean it well, then wrap it with duct tape- several layers of it, as the tape will have to withstand presssure. I went to Lowe's and got a rubber drain hose coupling, which is the same size as the outside of the bad hose, and used this piece of rubber as reinforcement, then wrapped it with duct tape.

Hello:

Not a great idea-- your car may be running very rich right now-- if you do that for a long time you run the risk of cascading failures, plus your mileage will suffer.

Check out FCPgroton.com for moderate hose pricing, or try e-bay for good used stuff. Local boneyards might do the trick. Get new hoses if you plan on keeping the car for a while.

Good luck!
