Hello everyone,

I need to replace the hose that goes to the turbo, can you please help me to order one online? I don't know the diameter and the length I need. Thanks for any help in advance.
Please see the pic below.

I had to replace that line a few years ago. I went to one of the local auto parts stores and matched up the inner diameter with one of the fuel lines they had in stock. They had various english sizes on spools in the back. The price was low -- maybe under $1/foot.
While you are doing the job you might want to check the other hoses in the area if you haven't already... Once I got started replacing old rubber lines I found that eventually they were all perished or cracked and needed to be replaced.
You could also use silicone hose instead of rubber. Thick wall silicone hose is great for making replacements for the various rubber elbows used throughout the car. It doesn't kink and is much cheaper than buying elbows. I bought a bunch of hose from Verocious and it has worked well:

Like jreed said, I had bought a few sizes of silicone line for different things of which I finished installing just yesterday.
One of which was the waste gate. I had used the vendor in his link to order the 5/8" hose for the Oil separator to PTC.
