Turbo Intake tube - where to find one other than dealer??

[catdieselpwr]

Just bought a used early 99 powerstroke w/ 200K. Was getting ready to install the DIY intake filter, and the black rubber intake tube that goes from the breather to the turbo inlet has a crack in it on the underside. Luckily the previous owner tried to fix it with duck tape , but I figured I'd fix it right. The only place I can find this tub is at the dealer for $75. p/n F81Z9C681AA. All aftermarket intakes hook to the blowby mixer, and don't go to the turbo inlet as far as I can see. Any help/recommendations are appreciated. I'm not that cheap, but I hate paying $75 for a part that cost 5 bucks to make.

Check a recycler. They might have one for cheaper....

Just a thought...

Try Ebay as well.

your talking about the black 90 degree breather tube right? your better off doing the CCV mod CCV Mod. Raul at stealth automotive will hook you up or you can build your own.

I think he means the tube that goes from the stock CCV coupler to the turbo.

Location??? I have one you can have . . . . Or just use a black pvc pipe like I did and eliminate the breather by getting some 3/4" heater hose and running it elsewhere like the front bottom of truck or out the back of engine towards the rear. I ran mine in between the driver's side battery and radiator area and let it vent out there . . .

Thanks guys for the thoughts. Ended up making my own entire intake system with some flexfab silicon connectors and BHAF. Looks pretty good, and whines like a dream!!!
