Leak tester parts source
Can anyone recommend a good source for a hose that will fit the Evo turbo for a boost leak tester? The how-to I referenced called for a 2.5” outside diameter hose, which doesn’t fit. I need a 2.5” inside diameter hose. I went back to the local Advance Auto Parts store, and they couldn’t help me.

Does anyone have a good national chain source for this?

You can probably pick up a 2.5" I.D. hose from eBay. I believe a vendor on here sold silicon hoses too but I can't remember who it was.
