Intake Hose 3" Required for New Turbocharger
I am after a 3" to standard intake reducing hose or pipe from the turbocharger, as I am picking up a new turbocharger tomorrow 
and even though it will not be fitted until probably October I would like to get everything sorted out before it is fitted. 
I had thought about a Samco hose but I cannot seem to find the right one having tried Merlin Motorsport's website, can you recommend a pipe/hose and where to source it from?
The turbocharger is a Forced Performance Green Turbo which is based around I believe a TD06 turbocharger with a few of their own 'tweaks', details are below.
Forced Performance Green Turbo | Subaru WRX :: Turbo/Intercoolers :: Subaru WRX / STi / RS :: Subaru :: Turbo Wholesale Distribution

you would either get one from roger clark or lateral performance but they are very pricey at around £ 250 with out delivery 
i made mine myself at a fraction of the cost and as most of it is hard pipe it will not suck shut like the silicone ones do and also stays true as it reduces from 3" to 2 1/2" then back open to 3"
