[s-cars] Samco hose

[Mike Miller]

I had that issue with an 034 hose from MAF to Turbo. RS2 turbo, drilled 
airbox running about 1.7+ bar (26psi+) boost. Anything over 1.3bar would 
collapse the hose until I dropped boost to about .7bar. The collapse 
would happen at about 4500 rpm. I put the stock hose back in, everything 
is fine and I have yet to take 034's advice, reinstall the hose and put 
a piece of metal pipe inside the hose to prevent the collapse. As I 
recall, doing that reduces the intake area by about 12% which may or may 
not be an issue.

This was discussed on QW about a year ago. Here's a link to one of the 
threads:
