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.

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.
