He mentions getting it from Forge but they don't carry Samco's anymore. I checked with Samco and the only info I've gotten so far is that it's "Still available in a kit" but I'm not sure what kit would have this piece in it since it isn't a normally replaced part. I have several emails out to the 3-4 Samco distributors in the US but haven't received a response yet.
Currently I have the stock piece replaced with a length of heater hose but even at 12 inches long the loop starts to kink and affects my boost. This would be the ideal replacement but I'm sure there's probably not enough demand to warrant a run by SFS or anyone.
Then again I suppose I could rerun the lines a bit when I install the Dahlback manifold. Anyone out there that's done that swap, does that stock piece get re-used? I imagine it does, but I've also seen it re-run around the boost hose and other interesting work arounds.

why would someone upgrade to the rubber hose over the ceramic one?

And has also split on multiple people creating a hard to find leak. It sits right on the left side of the manifold right next to the turbo pipe and has to deal with a lot of heat.

Keep me in the loop. Hvae you asked others who did the Dahlback upgrade?

You have my interest. My '02 is rubber and I sure would be interested in ceramic or silicone.

If I find a source I'll keep everyone updated.

though. Color matched silicone would be an interesting look there!
