Changing out a vacume hose today and was putting new one on then the stupid 90 degree elbow coming off the turbo inlet broke off.

Not looking for aftermarket, just a cheap / or free stock one. PM with a cell# so I can get in contact. Thanks..

errr for turbo inlet hose, ive been looking for one of these for quite some time.

Good luck. I think most people that removed their stock inlet hose hacked them off rather than removing the intake manifold. I bought a new oem inlet hose and it set me back about $80. Not to mention new manifold gaskets.

Maybe consider a silicone inlet so you don't have to remove the manifold to install.

 

inlet hose is a b!tch to install, im sure Jeff will never forget about that hahah

 

I already pulled my stock inlet hose off the car without messing it up. I think I should be able to get another stock one in there without taking off the intake manifold.

 

bump! anyone?

 

You broke the elbow off, it was already messed up, that's why you were able to pull it out. If you can properly install an oem turbo inlet hose without removing your intake manifold, then you need to open up your own auto shop because you have some serious skill.

It sounds like you have two options;

1. Search around and solicit someone that has installed an APS metal turbo inlet pipe. Chances are their oem piece is in good shape since they had to remove the intake manifold to install the APS.
2. Buy a used or new silicone inlet hose and squeeze it in there. This is the only way you can get around removing the intake manifold. I'm not sure which is easier.

Just fix it before you start throwing a CEL and risk damage to your engine.

Here is the part number for a new Duct Air Intake (Turbo inlet hose) if no one comes through with a used one.

Part # 14459AA361

Free bump

 

Ended up forking out the money for a Perrin turbo inlet and installed it today! Not happy I had to spend that much but oh well I can drive my car again now.

 

that must've been a pain.

friend and i did one on his STI last night.
