MAP sensor hose

While dealing with a fuel pressure issue, I observed that my MAP sensor hose had bad cracks in it at the base where it connects to the intake. I ordered a new one from Tousley. The new one is a lot longer than what was on my truck. Looking at the old hose the base at the intake looks like it had been cut/hacked with jagged rubber, and the plastic corrugated tubing around the hose looks like it had been broken at one point.

Anyone know if Ford updated to a longer hose or if these are trimmed to fit? I routed the new one to come down off of sensor, close to the bottom of the base of valve cover then back up underneath heater hose and onto the nipple on the intake, did not trim it. Any other way would put it very close to down pipe and turbo.

Thanks.

I havent heard anything from ford on length I dont think it matters, but keep the hose away from the heat, did you noitice anything different when new hose went on? or did you have any surgeing with old hose ?

Nothing different, no drivability issues like surging. Caught it before it caused an issue. Just wondering on length. The cracks were real bad and close to splitting. It looked like the hose had been cut before.
