Source for turbo hoses
The connector hose to the throttle body for a 3.0 Turbo is NLA from Porsche. Our host doesn't list it either. Has anyone tried the aftermarket silicone hoses for this application? The original part appears to be a fabric reinforced neoprene hose. The dimensions are 40 mm i.d. x 80 mm long. This size doesn't appear on any of the on line sources for silicone hoses, either.
Any suggestions? Here's a photo. The hose is the stubby wide one, with the steel mesh screen in the opening.

Google 'silicon hose'
There are a few co's that only manufacture silicon-based hose. Most offer temp and color choices in just about any size you need

The silicon hose is pretty flexible. A 2" hose will probably fit. I might even have a piece lying around to try. I'll check tonight.

I converted the i.d. wrong. It is 3.150", which is close to 3.125", not 2.125". Sorry.

The metric ID is 80mm. 3" might work if you lube it up good.

I've yet to find any reasonably priced silicone hoses. They seem to be about $20 and up. If I have a piece, it's scrap for me.

Thank you to David (125shifter) I found that Samcosport has metric silicone hoses at the 80 mm size.
