I do not know if this actually makes any power, some say it does but it is a straight through design with two ported chambers to eliminate either turbo whine, hiss, etc, whatever it was put there for.
If you wipe a hose down with a bit of solvent it will blacken up real nicely, I just forgot to do it.
I might replace it with a silicone hose at some time but for now used a radiator hose I picked up at NAPA, $22, they are not the cheapest place around.
Part number 8825, 1.75" in and outlets. Any hose with a bend close to the stock hose bend would work as long as the ends past the bend are long enough.
The pipe out of the turbo is 1.5" but the end when cut as below is closer to 1 5/8", the hose clamp will take care of the excess hose size easily.
I cut it as far from the bend that is close to the shape of the factory hose then cut of the donut leaving the area on the turbo side to include where it is a bit larger in diameter than the curved pipe out of the turbo.
It is a close fit but the is enough hose and you can move them around just enough to get a nice clean flow and get over the ends of the pipe far enough that the hose clamps will be tightened to be smaller than diameter than the ends so they cannot slip off.
It was easier to just take the turbo outlet pipe(loosen the top clamp and take the hose connector with the pipe still in place) and then remove the bolts holding the bottom pipe to the oil pan and loosen the house on the output of that pipe, forward end, remove in one section.
I have not driven the car yet to see if any difference.
Weight saved was minimal at around 4 oz.
At some point I will probably replace all hoses and tubes with a custom aluminum setup, silicone hoses, etc..
