Arrow Perry951 - Where did you get the vacuum hose...

that goes from the intake manifold to the brake booster? I'm looking for one of those hoses.

Thanks!

Who and the what now? The braided line? Local speed shop.

Actually, the line to the brake booster is factory, most of the rest is braided. Just head out to a speed shop with a sample size of the hose you need, and buy the length you need.

I'm talking about the bad boy that's highlighted in green. It seems to have a "scaled" look, rather than the smooth rubber the factory one has.

Ahhh... good research my man! You can see the other side is smooth (at the booster), like you said.

That hose came with a mess of stuff I got from Granny. I know my parts car was an '88 turbo, so perhaps it is an updated hose? My '87 had the smooth hose as well.

Anyone?

My 87 turbo motor had the scaled looking hose. It is a later 87, Brian, I think you mentioned that yours was an early 87?

Yea, mine is very early. I am pretty sure it is an updated part, just a bit stronger.
