Don't mean to spam the board, but...

I'm in college and working retail part-time, making it hard for me to afford parts for my car. I've read elsewhere that it's possible to fabricate turbo-related hoses of your own.

I only need my turbo intake hose at the moment, but I'm pretty sure all the hoses there are original, as they're all rather soft and oily, so they should be replaced. And, since I'm poor, I don't want to shell out 70 bucks for one hose that will fail over time--sooner rather than later, as much oil as my car has been consuming. I'd much rather make a hose for cheaper that lasts longer and won't flatten under vacuum.

Has anybody had any experience making hoses of this nature out of Neoprene or PVC? Any plans? Tips? Suggestions for materials, since we're talking high-heat areas on the exhaust side of the engine? Or companies that can do it for me for cheap?

thanks once again, bricksters
