AIR FILTER HOSE MELTED!!!HELP

[southern7.3]

Turbo made a strange noise yesterday as if it was surging. Took the boot off and I discovered all this...

What is that green line in there??
Turbo fins seem fine but did move a small amount. Time for a new WW?
What to do about the intake?

Wow big hole. The green line is part of the wastegate solenoid it read pressure differential between the intake and y-pipe to control the wastegate. Is your movement laterally or in and out?

[southern7.3]

Laterally. Not much but did feel a little bit. I am supposed to drive it a town over to get it aligned tomorrow but I dont even want to start it up because of the intake hose. Of course I need a new hose but if I where you would you order a new pipe from AEM?

As long as its not excessive you should be okay just keep an eye on it.

I mite rap it in good ole duct tape until I can go order a new hose. I guess it just got to close to the valve cover

Could that green line may have caused the turbo to make a strange noise?

[vitalidle]

Man I would be really carefull in doing that. I would get a new one as soon as possible as you don't want to be sucking dust and dirt into your turbo or your engine for that matter.

[vitalidle]

No. What did the noise sound like? Probobly was from the hole in the intake.

[southern7.3]

Like a sick turbo...dont mean to sound smart but I dont think I could ever make that noise. It was kind of like a bad suction and hissing noise. You know when your trucks real cold and its cold outside and it makes that kkkkkkkk noise. Kinda like that iono

[vitalidle]

Yeah more than likely from the hole in your intake I would bet
