    return to full boost

    after checking numerous things to figure out why my 200 was not hitting full boost , i thought to check the turbo blades to see if there was any damage, so off with the maf to turbo hose , and inside is a metal sleeve? never seen that before, anyway it is sitting half across the turbo inlet having slipped blocking the air intake , so after some manipulation it is correctly placed in the middle of the hose , and the old thing is flying again, where to get a new one in silicone ?
    check the basics

    Sounds like an 034 product. There were issues with the MAF to turbo aftermarket hoses collapsing that were solved by inserting a section of metal pipe in the hose. Could be an okay solution if nothing slips out of place (as you have discovered).
