On post 20, the hose you fixed would be for the turbo. If this hose is missing or broken, then the turbo will not function properly. So, most likely you were running without the turbo working.

Fun to scare the $%$% out of your rear seat passengers! I just wish they had a way to come to the up position by the button.

Not sure if it had ever been done prior to me getting it. No records with the car. I did get it with only 90K miles on it though. I changed the fluid and filter at about 100k.
