Sure was nice to find this. It was mostly hidden by a hose clamp.

Happens to the best of them. I have the identical hose with a larger Scuff! Was the one I chased for a summer 2 years ago!!
I bought the EXHD hoses from fourced4 I believe, when I bought the strut brace. They are still on and doing great.

I replaced with a piece of truck radiator hose for now. Fits perfectly.

You can't imagine how much better I feel. So much that I advanced the timing and turned up the boost Big Grin

Put 400 miles on the car over the weekend and the car ran flawlessly. Nice to have right.
