I did a pressure test, and I am getting a pretty large leak from the area of the fhose. My car already has the "home depot" f-hose, so im 99% sure thats not it.

What I am worried about is that its those plastic lines going under the manifold. What could it be since there are only three sources where a leak could exist, unless it is something else very close to the fhose.
Does anyone have a link to replacing that plastic hose under the manifold? I remember seeing pictures somewhere. that might help me.

thanks, chris

since it's now metal, but where one of the "fingers" went into the stock hoses. It was leaking at that insertion point.

Anyway, I planned to go with an MTM F-pipe anyway and was using the Home Depot mod since it was the only place open when I broke my stock F-hose....once I was getting some goofy boost behavior I checked everything and found the leak. I had already ordered the f-pipe but had not installed it - installed it and the problem was gone.

this is probably what it is, and now I will need a new one. Does anyone have the part numbers? How hard will it be to replace?

Do a search on "corrugated hose" and "spider hose".

The main leak, I found out to be my main hose to the throttle body. When I say main hose, I mean the one I use for my FMIC! I just completed a similar setup to blitz's, but bigger, and better.

I overtightened the 3/4" wide clamps, and it left a portion of the hose unsealed. Anyways, I fixed the big leaks, which than uncovered miniscule ones. Soon enough I will have them all solved, and be hearing a lovely bubbling sound without any hisses. : )

thanks for your help on the "spider" hose; which could still have a small leak in it, but I doubt it. Here is a little teaser, just for you. : /
shhhh!
