I need one for a stock intake setup. Where can I get something that will work?

What do they have there? Like a 90 degree elbow or something?

I took the BOV nipple to my local auto parts store and combed thru the radiator hose selection til I found something that worked ( custom hose angle for E3 intake ).

You likely won't find plug n play but nothing a good set of hose cutters can't solve.

They had nothing at the last 2 auto parts stores I went to. I have an actual hose I can bring in, so I guess I'll try some more stores.

^^ Just to be sure I talked them into letting me in the back and started checking each one. Took 30 mins, no way they were going to do that themselves.

To connect the stock BPV and stock intake to complete the recir, there is an adapter that sits in the turbo intake where this "tube" attaches. Be sure that adapter is there, or else you will be dealing with two diameter ends.

That being said, I cut up a radiator hose from an early 90 honda civic, and it worked great.

Good luck!

My car came with a soft plastic crinkle hose. This was great until recently. I guess heat+air pressure punched a hole through it. I'm also looking for a good replacement now..

Till then... DUCTTAPE

Hose does a 180 degree and then a 90 degree bend? If that is the one I'm thinking of I'm almost positive I have one you can have. Problem is I'm on my way to annual training for the Reserves, won't be back untill the 24th. Let me know if that sounds like what you need and if you can wait until then.

Dayco 71277 with the end chopped off.
I guess I had to go to a store that actually had a decent inventory of hoses.
It's the lower rad hose for a subaru or something. Was $11 at autozone, $6.18 rockauto.
