[s-cars] MAF to Turbo hose recommendations

[Darin Nederhoff]

Funny you should ask this as I've been wrestling with installing the $%^&
 2Bennett hose.

Stock:  Expensive (if even available?) but it fits great and does hold up
well for most applications
034:  Expensive and a bit flimsy feeling but installs easily.  It almost
feels as if it would collapse on itself though... not even as rigid feeling
as the stock hose.
2B:  Thick and not flexible.  Less expensive than 034 but fitment has been
a royal pain in the backside.  I had to trim the MAF end of my hose a bit
just to get the lower portion to go onto the turbo.  Impressed by the
bullet proof construction but the fitment was straight up garbage without
re-cutting.  (At least in my experience)

My local NAPA store had some nice stainless t-bolt clamps as does Amazon
etc.
