#89072, "New help finding some couplers for intake piping"
Okay I have a Saab as a daily driver and the coupler (or the thing that would connect the intake piping to the turbo) went to crap on me. I found out that this part is discontinued (figures) so I can't even order this from the Saab dealership. No other place I know carries this part. All it pretty much is, is probably a foot long coupler that has a 45 degree angle bend in the middle and is 2 1/2in. around on both sides. I need help to find a website or something where I can just order one to those specs or something like that. Please help guys. This Saab won't even idle untill this is fixed because of the MAS air meter which pretty much means its undriveable. Thanks in advance.

You can get 45 degree reinforced silicon hoses on eBay and at numerous other online retailers. If you need one that is really long, I'd recommend buying a 45 degree bend, and then connecting the rest with some aluminum pipe or something. The long reinforced silicon tubes can get really expensive.

Do what I do.
Visit a local autoparts store, and ask to browse their selection of radiator hoses. many large trucks use 2.5" radiator hoses, and some of them have very convenient bends in them. I managed to find a 2.25" perfect 90* reinforced hose for my turbo outlet for $10.
