lastchance Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 as the title reads - just wondering what i can use to replace the shredded turbo inlet boot/hose (from the flapper door MAF to the turbo inlet) from something more common than an ea81t motor. this is for my 1984 turbo wagon.

Jerry DeMoss Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 You will probably have to make one out of some silicone hose couplers and aluminum pipe parts. The old turbo inlets are getting very hard to find in decent condition so fabbing your own is going to be the quickest and maybe cheapest option.
