Accordian hose replacement

[oldmansupra]

My accordian hose is beating up so time to buy a new one. I'm removing my AFM, so it would be nice to remove the restrictive stock accordian hose as well. The HPS silicone hose is the one I was interested in, but i've asked 5 vendors and HPS themselves is on backorder for 3 weeks. Has anyone purchased this item http://www.protuninglab.com/airinsumktu7.html ? I've seen them on a few sites but am unsure of their quality and size. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Im currently waiting for one, which, according to protuninglab, is sitting at customs waiting for clearance or something. Protuninglab is the only place i could find that sold it. They used to be everywhere!

I currently have one of the HPS silicone ones, about 3 months old, that I will be selling when i get my metal one if your interested.

You know, the new stock piece is only $50.00. That is what I did. It looks nice to have it be new and original. That and you have an accordian replacement ment for the airflow meter.

You may have to relo your pwr steering reservoir to get this to fit.
I have one, just have not installed it.
935 Motorsports also sells one (if he is still in business)

Also, the stock hose isn't a restriction worth worrying about until you are well beyond what the stock / upgraded CT series turbos can flow...

Yep, the inlet of the turbo is smaller than the accordian hose...

But.... The acordian hose is FUGLY and we are all about bling and sharp looks right...
We own MKIIIs Supras so yea.
Get the metal one for the bling.

I bought the dm inlet, its nice built good and will fit turbo and afm if stock. Had some issue with the lex. It is pricey but i think it looks nice.

I might order one from Toyota if it's only $50. Seeing how it's not restrictive until you upgrade your turbo, I'll buy a bigger hose when I upgrade my turbo.

 

[89supra7mgte]

would be the best or if you plan on upgrading than go ahead and do the upgraded accordion now, and not worry about later?

 

[Poodles]

Larger turbo would need something larger and more than likely shaped differently...

 

[oldmansupra]

Where could I look for a hose like that?

I have this piece installed on my car right now and I am very happy with it. I'm runnnig a 60-1 modded CT and seeing full (stock) boost by 3k with a bone stock exhaust installed. It DID need to be trimmed about an inch on both ends of the pipe for the right fit, but that was way easier than moving the power steering resorvoir. I used a grinder and a cut-off wheel. It came with two blue silicone couplers and four clamps. Purchased off ebay for $140. Will try to get a pic or two on here in the next few days.
