Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Hole in intercooler hose, anyone have one???

I noticed less boost and more smoke lately. I found a hole rubbed in the intercooler hose at the bottom right side of the intercooler. Would anyone happened to have upgraded to silicone hoses and still have the OEM. I upgraded to silicone and then threw away the OEMs:{, Thanks

Do you have an OEM? or if it is a new silicon, I'll gladly pay for it. Let me know.

The OEM hoses worked well for me for many years

The two bottom hoses are near sharp sheet metal,which will also cut your new hoses, if you dont bend it away. Dont forget the hoses expand under pressure,even if they are new.
