Hello Mike,
I think that would be another IAC hose to be used in case of an external BOV. Possibly a tube to the manifold tree that is adjustable by cutting to size. It appears to be that I.D.
I might be getting ahead of myself, I don't know the exact set of tubes you had ordered. Good price though.
I had to order others from Snabb to go with the modifications to my wagon.

: 2-1/2" to 3".

: Most of it.

: Here maybe?

: I made this work somehow.

: rear expansion tank hose? It is also a similar I.D. to the one you are questioning. No. not long enough.

I have seen that brand go for much more. I am trying not to over think it, but going back to IAC. These are intercooler and induction tubes as a kit if I assume correct?

Nice looking bay Ben, I often tune in to your progress on the white terror.....

They certainly are turbo/induction hoses. Had a go at fitting them this evening without using hot water, just WD-40 and succedded with three of the openings only. Better tight than loose I guess.

The mystery hose has the same ID as a top radiator hose but is differently shaped. All turbo hoses that I can identify on the car are in the kit. Some extra silicon for me......

Thank you for the compliment Mike.
Extra parts are always good to have on hand.

I do have a black terror evolving. It may stay under cover this winter here, Summer to you.

: This may become a terror.

: He is not sure, but is terrorizing it.

Oh, and I did have to use the leftover FCP intake hose on this Black terror already, as the original blew a hole after a few revs.

: Yes, it is a new work in progress.

: What is wrong with this?

The gold 850's gone last Friday but I have a similar afffliction as you Ben with purchasing and rescuing. I couldn't get the '01 XC70 from the backyard in the pic because it's not running yet but won't be too long. We will sell the '02 XC70 and keep the '01 XC70 because it has more goodies like extra row of seats and sunroof.

The V70R will be my daily driver of it can measure up to my 2000 V70 non turbo. I'm totally serious because I truly enjoy driving it.

That dog looks as.menacing as your engine bay.......

: He is not scary. Or even the least bit menacing.

He really did not understand the temporary intrusion to his evacuation space.

I think those rims are worth more than a seven year old Pug?...
Not sure. He is alright for now.
Parking looks to be a commodity on your street Mike. You must have understanding neighbors.
I may grab a '98 XC next week as a new case. You would be down to only wagons now then?

Usually there were 3 out front when I purchased the R as I have off street parking for 2 via a lane. Now back to 2 on the street which covers our frontage and yes the neighbours did tolerate parking issues for a while. Luckily neighbours are one car families.

I DO like Pugs. They'rre great around kids and wouldn't hurt a flea (unless of course they found one) I have an 8 year old Chihuahua/Jack Russell cross that owns our couch. The reason I said menacing was exactly what I meant in terms of wheel finish

I will trade him for a 17" Titan.
What is shipping to Melbourne?
He is a bit chubby. Not much curb rash. Also not well curbed. (He ain't too smart.)
