Default collapsed hose

ok so i was drivin today and stomped it in 2nd gear and it kept hessiataing like it wasnt gettin any air, so i went and jacked up my car and looked at the hose from the turbo to my intercooler and its really flexible and i think its collapsing. does anyone know where i can get a new hose, im going to go k04 in a month or so, is there any hoses that will fit my stock turbo and a k04? thanks for any help

Don't be an ***. were all on here to help people out - he's smart enough to have found a possible problem. like your mom said if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

I would just replace all your hoses - Samco is a good brand - Check out this link - its a full kit - everything except the Turbo inlet pipe(air box to turbo)

Or Here

K04 and k03 have the same outer dimensions so you can use all the same hoses.

Hey FasterA4ThanUrs I understand, it just came off as sounding like a dick. of course he "thinks" its collapsing how would he verify that it isn't - strap a camera inside the engine bay?

A HOSE WITH AIR PRESSURE IN IT WILL NOT COLLAPSE. THE ONLY HOSE THAT CAN COLLAPSE IS THE HOSE FROM THE INTAKE TO THE TURBO, NOT AFTER THE TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a boost gauge? do you know what psi you're running?
