Intercooler hose - HELP FINDING NEW/UPGRADE
So it looks like I've broken a hose or seal somewhere on the bottom right half of my engine. I have a nasty air noise over 2000 RPM under load (sounds like an output), and freshly oil covered hoses and parts in the corresponding area. From searching it's likely a turbo intercooler hose.
I'm not really able to purchase and install a new hose right away; I'll add it to the list of things to replace during my 5-speed swap. I'm thinking of cleaning up the area and trying to find the leak, then wrapping the hose with foil duct tape. Opinions? Suggestions for inspection and cleaning?
