Default Turbo inlet hose / low pressure side / Accordian hose.

Is there a good source for this hose without paying an arm and a leg at the stealer?

Default Huh?

I've always thought the "accordion" hose was the x-over->IC inlet hose, sometimes called the Michelin Man hose. The MAF->turbo inlet hose is pretty different from that.

You can find a Michelin Man hose pretty much any time someone converts to Samcos. In fact, I thing you can get that in a Samco flavor for somewhere near $75.

The MAF->turbo hose is harder - Shokan or Force 5 to start. ISTR someone selling replacements made of silicone in the stock size, but I can't remember who that was.

Default yes the MAF Turbo hose is what I am looking for? Silicon would be great.

Mine is leaking and the car is running ****ty under load.

I thought you meant the hose between the MAF and turbo.

Default What picture?

The one I think you're talking about is up top, and can be accessed with the hood open. $90.

The Michelin Man hose is below, accessed by taking off the undertray. $75 (or so), Samco, ECS tuning.
