Dear All,
A few days ago a hissing, an air leak, started under >1 bar of boost, I looked at the coupling between the throttle body hose and the I/C (AVO aftermarket) and saw it being ripped from the clamp and sticking up from the I/C.
Back then, I thought, no biggie, de-oil it, put a new clamp and new coupling (not sold separately in reality), tighten as hard as possible and OK.
But it didn't fit, I couldn't manage the bottom of the I/C outlet to fit the OEM hose, I could put a finger in there. I managed to rotate the hose, big PITA, put the factory coupling, tighten it. Now, at least, the car runs, but under boost the leak is still there...
Has anybody changed the OEM hose to an aftermarket? It seems that Mishimoto's (who have an EU warehouse, thank god) hose is longer - that's what I need I hope.
