whats this leaking rubber crapper-do pre-throttle body ? (resolved)

[TopherSho]

It has decided to leak vast amounts of air and 70% meth all over the place ..  thank you in advance.

Std flexible coupler found in pretty much every vehicle made?  Has to be some sort of rubber coupler joining moving engine and not moving intake tubing.  Has to be someplace for everything to move differently and shift during operation.
You might be able to replace it with silicone version to withstand meth better?

Thanks boss! yeah you are right...  i brained farted the 'coupler' term in my 1st world WTf rage fit   .. my car needs a exorcist.

After looking at the silicone replacement parts on some of the hot pipes out there i think this should be easy to replace. I wonder if i will need to order it.. hope not i have a road trip on 4 days .

ductape should git er done. 

I know someone on here has to have swapped it out on stock piping, I know I recall seeing someone post about cutting that formed ring off and replacing with a hose clamp.  Is the rubber failed on yours (hole in it) or just leaking at end?

there is a pin hole. so were on the way to a blow-out.  I cant 'see it' but when i warp the whole thing with a rag only the top portion gets wet.  makes a real sweet whistle sound.

it looks like rock auto says the oem replacer THROTTLE bodies are just under 3" or 3.1" ...

one of those couplers should fit...  ?

i will assume its a 3" fitting.. but by the 3.25 for S&G's

oh well crap.. my luck just keeps coming ... no longer sold.  good times   next source ...

Eff it .. im just getting some black hose that will handle the pressure.. no-one in town seems to sell 3+ in long cuts at 3" diameter in real silicone coupling .. order one on line later...

hmm wonder if ECOPowerParts will sell me just the coupler ... ?

Nice....kind of like the sound that drilling a hole in the intercooler would make...im not sure why you are worried...some people go out of their way to have a modification like that.....just kidding

Oh oh I haven't done that yet!  I'll do it tonight!

sigh .. fixed the meth spraying everywhere .. but the whistle is now a roar.  so i have a busted  / crack in the piping from one of the turbos up to the TB .. FML.  This continuous litany of issues is wearing very thin now.

The coupler spewing meth is fixed. The noise I ''think'' its a BOV .. new thread time as the rubber bit has been replaced successfully.
