BOV Recirculation Issue...

[spanishricer]

Well I'm trying to recirculate my HKS BOV which is mounted on the cold pipe...already bought the fitting for it and now I just have to find the correct hose for it. The problem is, I can't find a suitable hose anywhere. Autozone, PepBoys, Home Depot, Ace Hardware...nothing. Closest thing I found with a 1" ID was some plastic tubing at Home Depot. But it wasn't flexible enough, and would pinch when I tried to bend it around in my engine bay. Plus I doubt it would hold up to the underhood heat. Where did everyone else get their silicone vacuum hoses from? Is there a particular website that holds the motherload of all hoses? Google has availed me not...

I had the same problem. I went to every obvious place I could think of. One Carquest didn't have any, turns out a different CarQuest auto parts store did. Keep looking, the hose is out there...

This might sound dumb but i know people have done this. If you go to a dish washer or dryer maintenance store i know they have some subber and cilacone hoses that might work. Its worht a try.

My piece of 1" ID radiator hose isn't bendable either. Any large degree bending caused it to pinch. Luckily with my BOV turned on the hotpipe, it faces directly into the intake fitting. So I have like a 5" straight shot. Anyways, i would suggest getting a couple hoses that have 90º bends and put them together.
