Michelin man hose ripped

>I heard a psssssh-sound when driving with boost today, and a sound

>the MM hose was ripped on the underside, about 1" long. It stays shut
>until the boost pressure opens it.

>I need a replacement, but the Audi part is $$$, and I'm thinking of

>MM hose is not very good suited, as it's impossible to tap into. Is
>there any silicone hoses that can be made to fit? The tear-shaped
>throttle body would be the big problem here - I imagine no other cars
>use that shape...

Double Z Motors has them for $40....  if that helps.  I bough fuel 
injectors from them and they were very nice to deal with.
