Intercooler hump hose replacement 200tqa (10v

[Vittorio Bares]

Thanks - I've got to imagine that Silicone is better in that location
because of the constant heat cycling. I don't think a used stock hose
from a bone yard would be in very good condition either. I couldn't find
a reducer hump in that size - smallest one started at 4" - 3.5"..

 

The reducer below, a couple of good clamps - and off we go :-)

 

Vittorio -

Vittorio,

 

I just used a silicon reducer hose instead of a hump hose, since I could
not find a silicon reducer-hump-hose.

 

I used these folks:

 

www.siliconeintakes.com

 

and ordered:

 

1 x Silicone Reducer, 2.75" to 2.25" - Blue (SIL000056) = $11.99

I suspect there are more stresses applied to the bottom of the IC
because there is no strain relief hump, but it the best solution I could
find.
