type44T- need rubber to prevent unwanted...

[Paul Meyers]

Alternatively, you can get plastic hose at the dealer. It cost me about $4.
Seems to last for at least several years. IMHO it's more aesthetic than the
paper/foil hose.

1. fuel injector cooling hose--the one that loops over the head and connects

to the diffuser thingy to cool the injectors preventing vapor lock.  I know 
there's better than oem hoses, so what have people used? 

2. diffuser thingy--not in horrible shape, still directs air ok, but one 
mount has broken off (1 left) and connector part is partly broken. Anyone 
have one for cheap? 




i used vw beetle heater hose (cheap, at any import FLAPS) this is the 
paper/alum flexi hose that is used on the old aircooled beetles fan shroud..

its the exact diameter as the audi fuel inj. cooling cose. 

as far as the plastic diffuser shroud...those always break.  if yours only 
has one broken tab, consider yourself lucky :<)
