Do any of you turbo owners have the hose that connects from the thermostat housing to the turbo? Mine has a hole in it and Schucks and NAPA don't even have a PN for it. It is molded so I can't just use any old hose. Anyone? Mods feel free to move this. Might be able to get some pics.

Yes, you can use any old hose, I used regular bulk heater line on mine, works just fine, and haven't had any problems with it. You will be hard pressed if you want to find a stock like replacement, cause even the dealer told me that they just use bulk stuff to replace those, unless you got one used, and that wouldn't be a good idea. Just rotate the outlet port on the intake, then run the hose in front of the T-stat housing, and back into the turbo.

Are the EA81T thermostats mounted differently than the standard EA81's?

Yes, they are mounted like the ea82s pretty much.

I hate owning an obscure sube sometimes!!!
