Boost tube support (cheesy fix)

After fighting oily boost tubes that come off and realizing that the weight of the tube itself puts a bad pull on the hose I simply ziptied it to the AC line and took the stress off of the hose. It weighs almost nothing and the droop you see in the AC line is normal not from this hanger. It keeps the hose/tube at the correct angle. I did this about 3 years ago and just noticed it today so thought I'd share. Nothing has come of since.

BTW I also did the CCV reroute to ditch the oil AND glued my hoses on with "right stuff"
