It prevents the wide end, at the turbo intake, from collapsing at high RPM's
or it prevents the "sucking-soda-straw" effect in a different way.
Also, they come in cool colors, but I'm getting 'stealth' black<ul><li><a href="http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/forum/boards/ttoc/335.shtml">Video</a></li></ul>

It _may_ prevent... It's not a proven problem, except for anecdotal evidence on one car...
which exhibited the problem under uncontrolled, and undocumented, circumstances. There is also a lot of hearsay, without hard evidence.
You can probably make almost any intake pipe collapse, by simply plugging the air intake or filter.

This might have been on an early car....>>
There is evidence that there was an interim hose design that predated the current one. Jeff (Jack-TTar) has one of these with wire reinforcements and stuff in different locations. His is a relatively early (non esp I believe) build. After that the hose was changed to what we have now. I'm not sure hose collapse is a current issue, although the Samco is much stronger in that department..
