Im trying to recirculate my greddy BOV which is in the stock position (s14 sr). None of the places local to me have anything large and long enough to reach. What is everyone else using?

I tried to order some samco xtraflex or whatever, but toguefactory said theres a 5-7 week backorder...

Wont that kink? Would that make a difference?

well how long of a piece do you need to run? It usually comes on a roll, so it might have a tendency to kink.... but if you're using a piece under like 1.5 ft I think it would be ok. A slight kink is OK, as long as it doesn't block the airflow. There isn't a whole lot of airflow going through the hose, just make sure it isn't blocked completely.

Also...at my hardware store they had some reinforced/braided stuff that you see used for catch can setups. That might be better since it won't kind as easily. Good luck

About 2 feet. If i can get away with a slight kink, so be it.

give it a try. the kink isn't going to do any damage. When the BPV opens up and pressurizes the line it will probably just blow the air right through the kink anyways. You could also try some powersteering line. I know that wouldn't kink, but it's going to be thicker and heavier.

Kragen or something as for diameter and look for something with a bend... not hard
