FTR, I don't think Samco or any other hose company, ever made a v.1/2 pattern intake hose (more's the pity ).

Obviously you could use a regular silicone 90deg with the correct sized diameters and leg lengths but it will obviously lack the port for the OEM recirculating dump valve (not a prob if you get a VTA).

Moreover though, a regular 90deg hose obviously lacks the appropriate oil breather ports too. Damn.

Damm why do i get the feeling that this is going to be a trick part to find

suppose i better start looking for breakers for a 94/95 to get the part!

will the wrx 94/95 fit or will it need to be a sti.

i am guessing that any 94/95 import part will fit

Some help plz i have a wrx sti v2 i have noticed a small split in what i think is the turbo intake hose, i want to replace it so i have been looking on ebay and have seen loads of silicon replacements but all of them say 96 ebay Item number: 200261639527

96-99 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX/STI TURBO AIR INTAKE SILICONE on eBay, also Engine Tuning Parts, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 18-Oct-08 21:32:46 BST)

on and as my car is a 95 i am not sure if they will fit!
don't want to buy one if they don't i would consider buying the original part off someone if they have replaced there's, here is the image of the pipe i need.

any advice most appreciated.

Badbird

that wont fit
you need one for a version 1 or 2 the later ones had front entry turbos and the pipe shown is a front entry pipe you need one for a 94/95

Yeah, one from any v.1/2 (Nov 92 - Aug 96) will be the correct one.

I recently replaced my original 15 year old one as the dump valve recirc port take-off had split (common failing as the dv causes it to bend over and gets stressed). I got mine from a breaker on eBay fro £20 delivered.

Check for 92-96 cars being broken on here... Plus eBay, where you'll find loads. Just enter subaru break* and impreza break*' and you 'trawl' in loads of ads lol . Then just fire off loads of eBay 'Ask the Seller' messages by keep on cutting and pasting your original messge (to save time), lol

That's brill mate - I might do that too!

I take it nothing stops me from drilling a hole to accept the recirc pipe of the OEM dv too?

BTW, that's MRT's metal resonator delete pipe between the MAF hose and the intake hose isn't it?


Go on... spill the beans! I'm dying to know what they quoted? lol

Well after deciding to go for safe option of the original part, they guy has just taken it of his car and found it has a tear in it, so looks like i am going to go for the mbd sti2 solution,
what sealant did you use mbd ???

mbd sti2

iTrader: (2)

after marking the holes to be drilled with a marker pen i took it off to drill starting with a 10mm then going up to a 12mm this made it a very tight fit but i did use some wurth bond and seal which is the same as sikaflex the stuff you can bond spoilers on with in a body shop, silicon may do but this stuff dries a bit harder with more grip and strength hope this helps most good motor factors will sell it,

thanks to all who liked this mod
