Intake plenum boots... I need them

How much do OEM go for and where's the best place to get them.

It looks like I blew one out, it's all folded in and came off the engine side a little bit.
I was wondering why my boost wasn't getting about 5psi, blowing lots of smoke, and slightly higher EGT's...

I'm sure Ed could get them for you. I think RiffRaff has them give Clay a call.
Here is where I got mine.

Thanks Pete. I think I can stick it back on for now, but from the looks of it they should probably be replaced. I wish that Riffraff had inserts for our size plenums...

Our plenums are 2" right?

Did you do the silicone straight tubes or the "hump" tubes like the stock ones with the bellow in the middle?

I thought the stock ones were the straight orange tubes but i could be wrong. I've been playing around with getting some for some time and have an auction on ebay saved here.

Silicone Straight Hose Coupler 2 inch 51 mm Silicon - eBay (item 290382429702 end time Dec-11-10 23:22:14 PST)

I assume it would take forever to ship because it's in hong kong plus i'd rather give my business to the USA.

Maybe stock ones are straight. Mine have a bellow looking hump around the middle... Can someone verify that they are 2" diameter?

The stock ones are 2" hump hoses. We are currently prototyping some and seeing if it is a market we want to get into.

Upon closer inspection the boot is torn. Looks like I'll be buying 2 new ones.

Where can I get a new clamp for the turbo to spider flange?

The clamp is a v-band though right? That site doesn't show any of that type.

Clay at Riffraff was kind enough to send me a pair of prototypes, they are very nice. I did have to trim approx 1/4 inch off each end, but overall fit was great.
Thank you,C

I don't remember them being v-band. I believe I have the constant torque clamps. IIRC
