Default anyone tell if i installed my bpv hose incorrectly?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/9038/bpv_cut.jpg"></center><p>the hose on the passenger side(left in pic) has cracked on me twice already and I was wondering if i have routed the tubing incorrectly.

wat type of tubing have people been using? the stock or the one provided w/bpv?

is there a way around this problem?

TIA

Default That looks pinched or kinked. Put a longer hose on it so it will make an S shape
and come in straighter just below the 2 small bolts.

Default i thought i should use similar length in hose ...
as in the original tubing no?

If i put on a longer piece will this cause any problems?

Default I think it will be fine, I dont think the 2 you have on there now are of equal length.
If you want just redo both sides with hose that is the same length.
