air filter hose

[jdearden]

hi guys. ive removed my front turbo as oil seal had gone. wasnt as hard as i thought it would be to remove. the air hose that goes from the air filter to the turbo has a large split in it. any ideas where to get this stuff from i need less than half a metre. its not the same as the stuff at the front of the car that goes to the air box its much thicker to withstand the heat i guess.

cheers

There was a group buy from a company, ACT I think for silicone hoses (Coolant) Im sure they can make you up a turbo pipe. Otherwise Samco or SFS (whom ACT get to build for them)


ETA here is the group buy thread :

I've got all the leftover pipework after fitting a hard pipe kit including the flexi pipe. It's for rear mounted filters and I guess yours are bulkhead but I'm sure you could make it fit. It's yours if you want it but I'll have to retrieve from the shed.

James, I believe Demon-tweeks also sell turbo hose in various sizes. It`s a specific high temperature material with Nomex reinforcement and able to withstand 250C. It`s not cheap.....
