Cracked Intake Gl320
Hi so I have a crack in my intake tube that mates up to the turbo inlet. Are there any alternatives to the factory piece? I thought I saw some sort of rubber adapter that mates from the factory plastic to the metal turbo inlet.

I have the same issue and I feel we are SOL and the best we can do is get a new piece that will have the same issue again. I thought of getting Baker or one of the Silicone companies to make us a replacement piece but with the bends and high suction of turbo inlet we may have a collapse of silicone. The only thing I can think of is making a carbon/plastic with some updated features to be a better long term solution. But that would most likely cost more than the factory piece.
I think I found the piece for 320 brand new good luck with it and let us know what you ended up doing.

I ended up biting the bullet and getting a new intake Y with new Mafs since i've had this pesky P0101 code that won't go away. Unfortunately the code still remains but at least this piece is fixed.
