Good supplier for custom turbo hoses ?

Folks,

Just installed some aftermarket intercoolers which means I can not use my OEM turbohoses. I've got a temporary solution in place, but I've been popping hoses like there's no tomorrow, hehe. The ZC turbos seem to work
Does anybody know a quality supplier of turbo hoses which have *some* flex to them ?
It's really the 2 upper hoses (intercooler to engine) that I want to fix.

Those use the OEM connectors. Mine are gone. My GT2 intercoolers have custom (aluminum) end tanks, not the plastic OEM ones. The connection point which uses the Porsche OEM clip is gone. It's just a straight aluminum pipe with a 2.25" diameter I need to put a hose over (and secure with a clamp). What I really need is some quality hose which still has some flex to it.

Ahh, I thought you were talking about the lower hoses. If you need the lower ones for straight pipe Dan has them.

For the upper pipes you will need to go with a kit like John D's that can be found here:

Ask Dan to send the hoses to you without the OEM end fittings...(you should get them cheaper as well)Then put a simple clamp on to your inlet...
