My recollection is that a list member used to make these but does not anymore.

Here is what I used: https://www.amazon.com/Thogus-Polypr...008TT60XK?th=1

Fits better than the original and still going strong after 2 years in my car. Also, you get nine extras to give away to other 928 owners.

The factory piece will last forever if you take a little time and a few cable ties, and support the hoses around the fitting. Last I looked they were relatively inexpensive, readily available, and of course a good fit. I've got almost 20 years on the one I put in.... almost 20 years ago now.

FWIW.

No reason why it would not. The part is simply a tube that goes into a "Y"; anything that does that will work. Make sure inside and outside diameters are close to stock.

Parts used for plumbing and sourced from Home Depot are generally only used on cars with supercharger kits....

So does Todd's Twin Turbo

I guess if you want to build the fastest, most powerful 928 in history, that is the pace to shop.

Correction, I think Todd prefers Fleet Farm, closer to his house.

I'm sure Greg was tossing jokes this direction too as I love using the brass fittings from Lowes for the crank case ventilation. Looks so much better than the plastic stuff.

I just talked to Turbo Todd, he said:
"As a shareholder of Home Depot, I've actually thought about putting together a list of known 928 parts they keep in stock so they can add it to the next sales flyer"
