I ditched mine when I decided to try capping it off instead, but need to go back to the U-shaped hose. I bought one from a local auto parts store but the bend radius of the U is too large and the hose gets pinched off at the elbow.
Can someone please take a look at the hose that came with the kit and give me a brand and part number so I can pick one up?
Thanks in advance!

If all else fails, FFR can send you another one. They're not that bad on price, might even send it for free.

I reached out for them and they were nice enough to give me the gates part number. If anyone else needs it, it is Gates 18777.

If you have not bought one yet you can have mine I have an Ej207 so it wont fit on my engine.

I was just looking at this the other day and it was bothering me. It sticks out all by itself. If my engine wasn't in and my intake manfold was off I'd look for a way to cut the hard lines shorter and loop it underneath.

I just followed Mitch on this one and used those lines to feed the air/oil separator

Redfogo, thanks for the generous offer, I really appreciate it but I just ordered one on Amazon.
Tony, that's a great idea but might make the AOS a potential air trap for the coolant since it is higher.

Why does this not surprise me :cool:
