Ive just noticed the hose coming out the right side of the turbo on my 03 STI is split. Whats the name of this hose as there are so many :/

Where is the best place to get one? I looked on SFS Performance hoses and they want £72 for just this one hose...

 

do you mean the Y pipe that connects the TMIC to the turbo ?

 

Erm didn't know it was a Y pipe, its the hose coming off from the right of the turbo that connects to the tmic

 

Do all intercooler pipes at the same time, around £85 should do it.

 

if you whip the TMIC off you will see it is a Y shape, just check a clip or something hasnt come loose before you spend the cash.

 

The red pipe off the turbo

While investigating an Idle issue I notice It looks like a chunk of metal is coming out of it!!

 

The metal is supposed to be there, no idea why though, mine fell out after removing and installing the intercooler a few times.

 

But it looks like it coming out of the pipe like its torn it, certainly doesn't look right

 

It is the Y pipe, yours looked knackered. It looks like it has been repaired or something.

 

Easy job to replace, the video below is for a WRX but it's the same principle!

Where can I buy the hose? Is it just a 90 degree elbow hose ?

 

the metal is there to help when refitting the tmic, so you dont puncture your hose with a screwdriver.

 

so do i need this

Or just the blue silicon hose?

 

I would replace all the hoses, £69 from Scoobyworld

But all the other hoses are silicon and appear to be fine, its just this one which appears to be split.

 

Have you took of the intercooler yet, the other hoses could be in a similar condition. Not sure where you would get the one hose though

 

That is normal for that hose.. are you sure it split.

 

I ran the viper performance ones 3" for intercooler to throttle body as sometimes it gets torn when removed and 2" 90deg elbow for turbo to intercooler make sure its thick stuff and cut to length, if its been removed before its maybe been nipped at the back and slowly got worse cost me 10quid and never had issues

 

I really doubt it's split, the silicone pipe is bound with a red tape type stuff, which is what holds the metal lug in place.

The metal lug is used so you can lever the pipe back onto the turbo after removing and refitting the TMIC.

 

I have a standard plastic newage pipe you can have if yours is split
