[s-cars] MAF to Turbo hose needed

[John Cunningham]

Except for the MAF-Turbo hose - the OEM will run fine even at pretty 
high boost.   It's a different story than the boost pressure hoses.

If you want an aftermarket of those, do NOT go for the 034 silicone 
which is junk that will collapse at high boost (remember that hose is 
under vaccum).

For the part in question, either OEM rubber, or, the 2Bennett silicone 
unit is the real 'good one' to have.   That thing is built like a rock. 
The 034 you can "fix" by slipping a slice of muffler pipe inside and 
hose-clamping it, but that's just nothing you should have to do for a 
brand new "performance" part, and the 2B is just total quality out of 
the box.
