BOV hose solution finally identified for ETS w/HKS BOV

Well, I had Tom build my IC pipes with the HKS BOV flange and the ETS return hose solution for the ETS Intake was not working well.

I finally found some 1.25" ID silicone hose from boostcontroller.com I thought may work. Tom vouched for the guys and I ordered the hose. I had to trim it to fit, but the fit is PERFECT and looks very clean and works with the ETS intake.

In case someone is in the same predicament I was, this may help.

Here is a picture:

Thanks MIchael. That 90 degree has 10 ft legs, so I had to cut both sides and cutting 4 ply cleanly is very difficult.

I used the same boostcontroller.com 90 degree elbow for my BOV hose as well. The ETS intake postions the BOV closer to the UICP. So 2 options for a BOV return hose. Cut the OEM hose or make a new one. I preferred to keep my OEM part intact so I made an appropriately sized one from a 90 degree 1.25" elbow. This solution works with any stock fit recirculating BOV (IX BOV, TurboXS, APS, Forge, etc).
