So I bought the aluminum upgraded Thermostat Tower for my 2003 VDP (NA) and am removing it today along with the crossover pipe which I also got a replacement for (Both from Welsh). I cant seem to find anyone that sells that short fat radiator hose that connects the tower to the crossover pipe. Its only about 4" long and seems to be as wide in diameter as a radiator hose. Does anybody have a part number for this piece and know where I can get one? SNG? Rockauto? THe one that's on there now looks all "bulgy" and I'd rather not reuse that after all of this work including removing the intake manifold.

Thanks.

Bypass hose NCA2213AC. SNG Baratt and many other sources.

 

Thanks Much! I ordered that one and received it but it sure seems to be a very very very tight fit to get it onto the inlets of the tower and crossover pipe. Perhaps that's why the one that was on there looked so bulgy as it looks like a slightly oversized one was used in the past. I will coax it on once the new metal tower is here.

Got the replacement hose and it is really really really tight fit, but it works great. Thanks again!
