Noticed today I wasn't getting full boost and the blow off valve wasn't, well blowing off, lol. Found a 3" crack in the black ribbed intake tube that goes from the MAF to the throttle body. I was going to steal the one off my other Q but it's in much worse shape than the turbo Q's (that's the one that had the NOS explosion).

Anyone have one or two of these? I'll need two, one for each Q if the price is right.

By no means im trying to be an ******* but u fabricated a whole turbo system and you’re still sticking to your stock intake? Just make one out of intercooler piping and heat wrap it so it doesn’t get hot like the rest of your engine bay... just saying don’t kill me

Yeah if you cracked it I wouldn't be looking for another one that will crack later on down the road. You have found a weak link. I would replace it with some aluminum and call it a day.

I've been debating making a new one since I started the project. If it's cheap enough I will replace with a stock one for now, my honey do list is much too long at the moment to start more fabrication. I do have a feeling that any old used one will not last too long tho.
