Hi

Does anyone have the right-angle air hose from the plenum chamber to the throttle body?

Regards

Put a pic up of the location and pipe for me and I'll see if I've got 1 on the car I'm breaking

@EddieMunster If the car being broken has an A8 engine then you'll be fine, the regular H22 doesn't have the posh dual chamber air intake that your Motegi has, (same intake as TypeS). I think the regular intake/air hose is narrower than the dual chamber one, pretty sure.
If it's an auto being broken I doubt the part will be right. - :(

You are indeed correct, by about 2mm-3mm, so I had to "load it onto a large socket" for a few days, with some heat, to get it to fit! It's fitted, not ideal, but it'll have to do unless a genuine item in good condition comes along.
