Default Video of intake air hose collapse at 5000 rpm

A week or so ago, over here in the UK, we discovered that the intake air hose on 225 TT's that had been chipped would collapse at about 5000rpm, restricting air entering the engine.
You may be interesting in following the link below to some video footage of this occurring so that you can see the problem.

I don't know if any of you have experienced this but you might want to warn your tuning companies and let them have a look at the video.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/forum/boards/ttoc/335.shtml">Video link</a></li></ul>

Default Here I am, staring at the little hose up front going 'hmm, doesn't look like it's collapsing..'

Sigh, must read the dang description first next time. How did they get the camera in there? Duck tape?

Default Now, I am a believer. Thanks for the video!

I was skeptical of this whole collapsing thing and I never thought it was collapsing at that location. Now, to find my engine code...

Not to be a doubter, but maybe it is just the AMD chip. I have a K-box/ABT that pulls to 6K easy.
