Yeah,
Don't try stretching a Samco boost hose- I had a hard enough time
mounting the intercooler to throttle body hose on my '91 200q because
the hose was a bit too short so flexing the hose for the height
difference in the two ends was very, very difficult. I was able to
mount the hose finally once I got one side on and just pushed and yanked
and basically abused the hose into place. I don't want to do that again,
that's for sure.

Hi Jim,

Do you happen to have the part number for the one you are using?

Is it cut down into this little piece shown here?

or,

It looks like the whole accordian section is gone.

I understand that it is very difficult to stretch that material (onto
the MC throttle body).  I haven't handled it, but that's what I've read
here.

Thanks,

Ken
